So let’s attempt to get through some of the most massive improvements on Apple products that were announced just yesterday. Every phone they put out is the best phone they’ve ever put out… which is true (by default) and here are the best and the worst of it… Your new iPhone can tell you when you’re ovulating, so you know when to get jiggy if you want a kid… or don’t. PLUS, the European Union IMMEDIATELY announced it was suing Apple for billions of dollars… so take the good with the bad we suppose.
The “AirPod Pros” are the full ear headphones from apple that have brought up many a question… ARE they in competition with Beats? Did the Beats contract lapse? Are they still in business? Or are these new super headphones just beats smeared in “Apple-sauce”?
Second item on the itinerary was the new Apple Watch. Bigger screen, thinner design, improved apps, but, some can be seen as a bit intrusive although you the user can turn them off. There are alerts that can save lives by detecting heart arrhythmia, or making you aware of sleep apnea. The watch is NOT FDA approved as of the time of this post. But Apple is making sure that they rectify this situation, and because they have openly admitted that, it seems like less of an over all concern.
Now for the big swinger, the new iPhone. There haven’t been many vast changes between iPhone models… it’s generally the same sip of liquor. They are faster, and hold more stuff. However this year, there are a few things that are quite note worthy. New CUSTOM emoji’s that you can create yourself, so the eggplant emoji will soon fall into the realm of “basic”. Also, AI image generation which rivals Leonardo AI, and when it comes directly from your phone, with no paid subscription website to stop you, imagery can meet imagination at a breakneck pace. Many of us now have THOUSANDS of photos, and now you can find photos just by typing the description. I’m sure everyone is curious as to what happens when you search for “dat ass”.
The new iOS can also summarize emails that you receive, so a bloated bushel of paragraphs is boiled down to when and where someone needs you to be for something important. Emails can also be “prioritized” family, then friends (or the other way around) then work, THEN spam. There’s also a new “action” button along the side, that you can customize to perform any action you wish upon pressing it. For instance, just touch the side of your phone, and Shazam can open without you having to take out your phone, type in the password, scroll through apps or group to find the right one, select Shazaaaaand the song clip is over.
It can play songs that are recommended in text messages. (You can literally just say “play that” and it’ll bring up the album and song.). You can’t send photos and texts as “secret” with Apple Intelligence. Unfortunately for now, it’s only in English, however there’s no doubt that this will change in coming months with iOS 18. iOS 18 even offers things like, pointing the camera at a poster, and putting the event on the phones screen into your calendar with ease. Even if you pass a DOG, you can rudely point the picture at the strangers pup, and see what breed it is, so you can get one just like it. The new camera is INSANE though, (enough to shoot a film on it) and speaking of what it can see, we’ll just let MASTER YouTuber Marques Brownlee just show you below.
