Apple’s big Glowtime event Monday was interesting, to say the least. The company spent half an hour detailing what it’s all about “Apple Intelligence,” a feature it revealed at WWDC 2024 earlier this year. Apple showed us a small hardware upgrade to support software that won’t be available when it launches on September 20, leaving us with a tedious affair.
I should get used to this. After all, I commute on the New York City subway system. When trains are often held up at or between stations—perhaps due to a train stop, a signal failure, or even a monster attack in Union Square—passengers are told, “We appreciate your patience.” As if our patience is implicit, but the resignation of riders is more about our inefficiency. We can complain and curse, but that doesn’t change anything. But unlike having to use the MTA for transportation, iPhone owners don’t have to trust Apple’s next big announcement just yet.
Contrary to rumors, there is no new Apple Watch SE launched. The Apple Watch Ultra is now available in black, and it seems like it’s well-deserved for its place in Apple’s lineup. The only update to the AirPods Max in four years is the switch to USB-C to comply with EU regulations. This is Apple’s driest, most corporate environment for such ruthless deployment of low-power hardware.
Apple smarts and camera shooting buttons will take months to flesh out
Apple on Monday further thanked customers for their patience and told them to purchase products until all features are ready. we should buy one iphone 16 Because of its new camera control features. This is a quick way to access the camera app or take photos without touching the screen. It also has a scrollable feature to select some camera options without touching the screen. I really wish I could half-press “camera shot” like the shutter button on a DSLR to lock focus and recompose the subject. This is said to be updated later this year.
I prefer physical buttons to thinner devices, so I should be at least interested. Instead, it feels like a last-minute attempt to boost iPhone sales in the iPhone’s growing pains. The tech giant says this is the first phone designed specifically for Apple Intelligence. That’s why the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models come with an A18 Bionic chip and more RAM. Promised Apple Intelligence features, such as ChatGPT integration, won’t appear on devices when it launches on September 20. However, the AI-generated images won’t arrive “in the next few months.” all those big Siri will be improved in 2025.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is thinner and lighter, but lacks the standout features of the Series 9. It may appear later this year.
According to Apple on Glowtime, the iPhone 16 and Apple Watch will look completely different in six months. When we initially reviewed these products before and after launch, they were missing half of their promised features. I don’t recommend that anyone buy a device that’s billed as “half-baked.”
Apple needs to rethink its messaging about the environment
The Glowtime event highlighted the thinner Apple Watch Series 10, new mid-range AirPods with ANC, and the long-rumored hearing aid support for Apple AirPods Pro. This last point interests me personally because it could save some people with hearing problems thousands of dollars, but we’ll have to see if they are really the same. Beyond that, I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth skipping the iPhone 16 and opting for the iPhone 17 instead.
The glory days were filled with typical Silicon Valley over-promise. Apple talks endlessly about its environmental practices. Using recycled titanium in the latest Apple Watch and committing to using more recycled materials in the future is a worthwhile endeavor. The truth is, Apple CEO Tim Cook claims they use far fewer planes to transport their products. company like to say It focuses on “low carbon shipping” but we must keep mentioning how shipping and manufacturing This is just part of Apple’s environmental impact. Environmental groups regularly Hold Apple accountable Its “greenwashing” message.
Let us also not forget Congo accuses Apple of buying rare earth materials from conflict zones. We haven’t seen the country file a lawsuit yet, but that suggests As long as multinational corporations need to release new hardware every year, it will be impossible to operate ethically.
