Apple Intelligence’s required iPhone storage in iOS 26 is actually good news

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-19 13:00:17

Apple Intelligence is entering its second year, and iOS 26 adds many new and improved AI features. But despite everything new, there’s surprisingly good news for iPhone storage requirements in the new update. Apple Intelligence still has the same 7 GB storage requirement in iOS 26 Last year, Apple Intelligence launched in iOS 18.1 with a selection of features, followed by a steady drip of new additions throughout iOS 18.2 and beyond. One trend I noticed at the time was that those new features

While this is not the day Apple will release a revamped, LLM-powered Siri, today’s updates bring multiple welcome additions to the Apple Intelligence feature set. Here are some highlights. During WWDC25, Apple made sure to (almost passive-aggressively) highlight all the Apple Intelligence features it had already released, as it tried to counter the fact that it is behind on AI. Then, it proceeded to announce new Apple Intelligence features, making sure to showcase only the features it was sure

The PC was never a true 'IBMer'

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-24 19:13:39

The IBM Personal Computer was launched on 12 August 1981. Designed by an IBM team in Boca Raton, Florida led by Philip Don Estridge and William C. Lowe. That first PC, given the less than charismatic designation as the ‘Model 5150’, and its successors quickly set the standard for personal computing, first in business and then in homes. So much so that they became known as just ‘PCs’. But the PC was never an true ‘IBMer’, the colloquial term used for IBM employees. Wait a moment! The IBM PC. D

The Four Fallacies of Modern AI

I've spent the last few years trying to make sense of the noise around Artificial Intelligence, and if there's one feeling that defines the experience, it's whiplash.

IPUs take things a step further, aiming to take on a wide variety of infrastructure services in a cloud environment in addition to traditional software defined networking functions.

The Most 'Awe Dropping' Part of Apple's iPhone 17 Event? AI Barely Came Up

The iPhone 17 is here. At Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event, we got the new iPhone 17 lineup, including a new ultra-slim model called the 17 Air, new AirPods Pro 3 and new Apple Watches. But it was what Apple didn't highlight that is most curious to me: its artificial intelligence, named Apple Intelligence. I counted only 11 mentions of "Apple Intelligence" during the 75-minute presentation, and most of them were passing references to how the new devices can support AI or existing features.

The Trump administration wants the United States to be the dominant force when it comes to artificial intelligence, and one way the administration hopes to achieve primacy is by bringing semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. To help with that transition, President Donald Trump has introduced potential chip tariffs and policies in recent months meant to bring more semiconductor manufacturing stateside.

Intel announced last month that the U.S. government made an $8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock, purchasing 433.3 million shares at a price of $20.47 per share, giving it a 10% stake in the company.

With AMD having attaining more than 40 percent revenue share and more than 27 percent shipment share in the X86 server CPU market in the first half of 2025, that means two things. First, AMD is selling some big, fat X86 CPUs compared to Intel. It also means that Intel, despite all of its many woes, is getting nearly 60 percent of revenues and north of 72 percent of shipments for X86 server CPU here in 2025.
