Are you hoping for a live iPhone event on September 9? [Poll]

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-12 05:47:57

To say that Apple’s pre-recorded events are divisive is an understatement. What initially seemed like a pandemic-fueled stopgap has become the company’s standard way to make announcements, even though its competitors have largely moved back to live presentations. With the upcoming “Awe Dropping” event, Apple has an opportunity to take a new crack at the live event format. Do you think it’ll take it?

Taco Bell Says ‘No Más’ to AI Drive-Thru Experiment

Last year, Taco Bell made a simple bet that Alexa-like voice assistants could handle the drive-thru window. It didn’t consider whether people could handle dealing with AI. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company embedded AI in the drive-thru boxes at more than 500 locations across the country and quickly found that it made mistakes, creeped people out, and got very easily manipulated. “We’re learning a lot, I’m going to be honest with you,” Taco Bell Chief Digital and Technology Offic
