F1 the Movie review: A shameless Apple ad that will blow your socks off

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-01 04:48:08

The first thing in F1 the Movie, before a single word of dialog is uttered, is a pair of AirPods Max. They're so comfortable, Brad Pitt's lovable loser protagonist Sonny Hayes is able to sleep with them all night, then hop up and begin his day of driving fancy race cars.

It's hard to ignore the blatant commercialism of F1 the Movie; you might as well call it a $300 million ad for Formula One everything Apple. The film is pro

Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images

But Apple just released two papers that show how there might be room for a third, forgotten technique: Normalizing Flows.

In April, Apple was fined 500 million euros for violating the Digital Markets Act in the European Union. Since that penalty was announced, however, the company hasn’t announced any further changes to its App Store Guidelines to avoid further fines. A new report from the Financial Times today says that Apple is “locked in last-minute” negotiations with the European Commission about ways to ease its App Store anti-steering provisions.
