Apple Intelligence Isn’t Ready to Wow You—Yet

So what can you do right now? Let's start with Writing Tools, which helps to you Rewrite, Proofread, or Summarize text wherever you are in the operating system. Rewrite changes the sentence's tone from casual to professional, for example, while Proofread fixes typos and improves grammar. Too bad it's nearly impossible to remember this feature exists because it only shows up when you highlight words. Perhaps Writing Tools would be better as a little button built into the virtual keyboard.You can type to Siri now, though this is technically not new. Previously this was an accessibility setting, which Apple has…

macOS Sequoia review: iPhone mirroring is more useful than you think

Apple's macOS updates have been so dull lately, the most interesting part of last year's macOS Sonoma ended up being widgets. Widgets! Thankfully, macOS Sequoia has a lot more going on — or at least it will, once Apple Intelligence rolls out over the next few months. For now, though, Sequoia delivers a few helpful features like iPhone Mirroring, a full-fledged Passwords app and automatic transcription in the Notes app. At the very least, it's got a lot more going on than widgets.iPhone mirroring changes everything for MacsHeading into WWDC earlier this year, I was hoping that Apple would let…

macOS Sequoia may require weekly permissions for screen recording apps

macOS Sequoia will require regular permissions updates to use screen recording and screen-sharing capabilities. The software is in its , and the new Apple operating system has added pop-up notifications that will ask users to confirm that software has access to the device's video and audio.

ChatGPT for macOS no longer requires a subscription

ChatGPT for macOS no longer requires a subscription

The macOS ChatGPT desktop app is now available to everyone. That is, provided you’re running an Apple Silicon Mac (sorry, Intel users) and your computer is on macOS Sonoma or higher. OpenAI rolled out the app gradually, starting with Plus subscribers last month.ChatGPT now has an official macOS client before it has a Windows one. (In case you haven’t heard, Microsoft is its most crucial partner.) Of course, Windows 11 has the OpenAI-powered Microsoft CoPilot baked into its OS, which likely explains the omission. OpenAI and Apple are also teaming up on Apple Intelligence, which arrives later this year (unless…

Apple’s Biggest AI Challenge? Making It Behave

Apple’s Biggest AI Challenge? Making It Behave

If it works as promised, it should mean that Apple Intelligence is less prone to fabricate or suggest something inappropriate. In its blog post, Apple claimed that testers found its models more useful and less harmful more often than competing on-device models from OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. "We're not taking this…
