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 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. One week, I'm reading a paper that promises AI will cure disease and unlock unimaginable abundance; the next, I'm seeing headlines about civilizational collapse. This dizzying cycle of AI springs, periods of massive investment and hype, followed by the chilling doubt of AI winters isn't new. It's been the engine of the field for de

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

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-02 03:41:00

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.

Since launching Apple Intelligence in 2024, Apple has been working to release the set of features in China, the largest smartphone market in the world. But, from the very start, they have faced pressure from both China and the United States. Now they might finally be close to launching.

Meta’s Already Bleeding AI Talent Two Months Into Hiring Spree

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to be the first to achieve AI superintelligence, a type of artificial intelligence that is smarter than the average human, and a concept that some experts are still highly skeptical. To do so, Zuckerberg announced the formation of Meta Superintelligence Labs in late June, a team dedicated to helping AI catch up to and beat its peers in the AI race. With that, he sparked a multi-million dollar hiring frenzy. Meta began poaching talent from competitors, the main ta

Unmasking the Privacy Risks of Apple Intelligence

Executive Summary Lumia’s Research Team revealed that messages dictated via Siri, including WhatsApp and iMessage are not sent to the Private Cloud Compute. In fact, there is no assurance as to what Apple does with these messages. Siri transmits metadata about installed and active apps without the user’s ability to control these privacy settings. Audio playback metadata such as ‘recording names’, is sent without consent. No user control or visibility exists over these background data flows.

This phenomenon sits at the heart of the challenge of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Can today’s AI revolution produce models that rival or surpass human intelligence across all domains?
