Several functions of Apple Intelligence will not arrive this year as planned

by

Almost new months have passed since Tim Cook presented Apple Intelligence in the WWDC24. With this, the apple company revealed its great commitment to position itself in the vertiginous career of the Artificial Intelligence (AI)but the launch of some of the announced functions is waiting. The AI ​​system had to debut with iOS 18 In September 2024, But it did not arrive until October 18.1. Its deployment would continue with an improved version of Siri that understands the context and is able to take action on the user’s name in 2025, although Apple has just confirmed that several months will be delayed. The news comes from Dary Fireballthe blog of the legendary John Gruber, a journalist specialized in Apple, who has received a statement from the firm of Cupertino where they indicate that the launch of the most intelligent and personalized version of Siri “will take more time than expected” and that they hope to display the improvements “Throughout next year” As we can see, the American technology has avoided committing to a specific date, so we do not know at what time of 2026 the renewal of Siri will come or in which version of the operating system it will materialize. It could be in an intermediate version of iOS 19 or, if the delay lengthens, even in some version of iOS 20. So far, we have considered the launch dates in the United States and other markets, but the situation in the European Union (EU) could be different. Without going any further, in the community block We are still waiting The arrival of Apple Intelligence in Spanish for iOS and Macos devices without installing betas. Apple has not given details about the reasons for the delay, but in February, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg He pointed out that This project faced engineering problems and software failures. According to medium sources, internal tests showed that the functions did not respond as expected, and already pointed to a possible delay. What has improved in Siri and what is still pending? The Cupertino company has already improved some aspects of Siri. The assistant already understands natural language a little better, But as we pointed out in our tests still leaves enough to desire. The Integration with chatgptwhich connects with the OpenAI chatbot to offer more elaborate answers. With the delay announced today, the deployment of context personnel is in the air until 2026. This function will allow Siri better to understand certain requests thanks to its contextual knowledge. For example, if you ask “what time does my mother’s flight arrive?”, Siri could search the messages he sent you to find the information in the corresponding message. It is also delayed until next year APP ATENTs, a mechanism that will allow Siri control better operating system functions and applications. In this case we can ask the assistant to draw information from a flight in a travel application to share it with a contact, all using the voice. But that’s not all. Bloomberg points out that the American firm is also working on a more conversational version of Siri. This has had its own delays. It was going to arrive in 2026, but it is likely that it does not launch until 2027. For now, Apple’s marketing material continues to promote some functions that we still can’t use.

Apple will not create an ultra version for each generation

by

Apple presented yesterday, together with MacBook Air M4its new M3 ultra, the most powerful chip ever created by the company, with 32 CPU and 80 CPU cores, doubleing the M3 Max capabilities by joining two of these chips through its ultrafusion technology. Why is it important. Apple broke the expectations by launching the Ultra M3 instead of the expected M4 Ultra, and incidentally announced a change in its strategy: not all generations of their chips m will have ultra version. Something will change in its strategy with the high range. The context. Apple’s decision seems to respond to a market reality: ultra chips have a very limited audience and their development may not justify the investment. An ultra chip is very expensive to develop and produce, and although its price is much higher, many magnitudes are sold below than the m ramplones or the m pro. Until now, Apple had maintained a constant pattern with base versions, Pro, Max and Ultra for each generation. It will not be so. Between the lines. The new approach suggests that Apple is adjusting its chip development strategy to the real demand, no longer need to take each family to the highest level of performance, but can be allowed to alternate. The Mac Studio with Ultra M3 They leave in an awkward position to Mac Pro with M2 Ultrathat being theoretically the most powerful professional team, now it is overcome in performance by another lower model. Deepen. Technology Ultrafusioncreated by Apple, connects two M3 Max chips using 10,000 signals that provide 2.5 TB/s bandwidth. This allows both chips to work as one, offering: Yield up to 1.5 times higher on CPU and 2 times in GPU compared to the ultra M2. Ability to manage up to eight 6K monitors at the same time. Possibility of reproducing 22 Prore Video sequences 422 8k at the same time. And now what? This strategy could be translated into longer update cycles for ultra chips, reserving them for moments when technological advances justify the cost of development. For professional users, it implies that they must think more about what is the optimal time to update their MAC.

Indonesia will finally raise the veto of the iPhone 16, according to Bloomberg. The key is in a millionaire investment of Apple

by

At the end of last year, Indonesia prohibited sale of the iPhone 16. The surprising measure did not go unnoticed, but what really caught attention was the reason: Apple had not invested enough in the country. Google either had better luck. Shortly after, The authorities vetoed the marketing of the Pixelalthough they never officially sold in Indonesia. Now, everything indicates that the situation is about to take a turn. The return of the sale of the iPhone seems imminent Bloomberg points out that Apple and the Indonesian Ministry of Industry They reached an agreement to lift the smartphone prohibition. The sources indicate that the movement should be formalized this week. The Indonesian government plans to hold a press conference to publicize the details of the commitment. However, the American media points out that Apple’s investment has played a leading role. The firm led by Tim Cook would have committed to invest no less than 1,000 million dollars in Indonesiaa figure ten times higher than the one previously destined for the creation of several Apple Developer Academy. And what will that money be invested? As explained, Apple will allocate it to the construction of an AirTags production plant in collaboration with Luxshare Precision Industry Co., an old Chinese partner of the Cupertino company. Another part of the investment will be directed to a New factory in Bandunga city southeast of Yakarta, which will focus on the production of other accessories. In addition, Apple will continue to finance its programming academies in the country. The prohibition of the iPhone 16 that is now about to disappear has been supported by a regulation that establishes that certain products must have a national component level certificate (TKDN) The TKDN is an index of the percentage of national components used in production. Apple and Google mobile devices They must reach 40% In the mentioned metric, but there are many ways to meet this requirement. Companies that do not manufacture their products in Indonesia usually resort to agreements with local suppliers at some point in their supply chain. Other strategies, such as hiring local labor and investments, also contribute. And if you wonder why Apple is so determined to overcome this prohibition, the answer is simple: it is about The greatest economy of Southeast Asia and The fourth most populous nation in the world . That is, of a large market. Images | Trac vu | Apple In Xataka | Proudly American: Apple will invest more money than ever in the United States in full tariff threat

I have tried Apple Intelligence in Spanish. I am disappointed and excited in equal parts

by

The star function of iOS for 2025, Apple Intelligence, can already be tested In the beta for iOS developers 18.4. It is enough to install this latest version to activate the functions, and I have not wanted to miss the opportunity to try this AI thoroughly in the iPhone 16 Pro. Due to the EU regulatory framework, Apple has taken something longer to bring these functions to Spain, which were already present in the US. Despite this circumstance, the rest of the rivals have been implementing artificial intelligence functions in a deep way for more than a year. Apple is late, yes. The question now is whether or not it is worth waiting. In this analysis we consider that Apple Intelligence is taking its first steps and that what we have tried is a beta. Despite this, we have these recent years testing beta versions of other services (Gemini, Chatgpt), and we are clearly required. “Hey, here are Ia” The system will guide us through the new functions. The first point that is worth highlighting is one that I have been criticizing for quite some time in competition alternatives (except in Samsung, which makes it great). The AI ​​is of no use if the average user does not know where and how can he use it. Here Apple does it quite well since, from minute one, it sends us notifications indicating that Apple Intelligence is now available. I have no doubt that, like Samsung, when we start our next iPhone the configuration assistant will explain all this process that is now explained with notifications. Being a beta, some of these explanatory banners are in English. A minor detail, since everything is still working in Spanish. Given the notices and read everything, it’s time to start trying Apple Intelligence. The functions that arrive in Spain are practically all, with the exception of MACs to Mac and the transcription of calls. Testing Apple Intelligence Apple Intelligence is a set of artificial intelligence functions that arrive natively to the iPhone. Its main difference with respect to direct rivals is that the majority of the defendant is carried out on the telephone itself, the main reason why the model cannot be executed with less than 8 GB of RAM (and thanks to which the iPhone 16E It has this capacity). Among its functions we find new writing tools, image generation, integrated by chatgpt in Siri, Genmojis, and improvements in native apps such as photos or mail. Writing tools Apple stands out on its website The functions he considers key to Apple Intelligence. The first one has to do with intelligent writing tools. These allow us to rewrite texts, make summaries, improve the grammar and tone of what we have written, etc. Integration is great, since these tools work in any app. Simply select the text to appear. Here we will have two paths: describe the precise change we want to do through a personalized prompt, or let Apple do it automatically by predefined adjustments quite concrete. Review Rewrite Informal style Professional style Concise style Summary Key points List Board The functioning of these writing functions is quite good. I have reached the test by throwing an entire review to analyze key points and, although it is not perfect, it does it more than remarkable. These types of tools are especially useful in professional environments where we want to improve that email that we are going to send. Improvements in Siri Siri is one of the great changes in Apple Intelligence, with a much more pleasant interface, Integration with chatgpt And the promise that you can read everything we have on the screen to analyze its context and provide us with information. This last function, the most spectacular, is not yet available (not even in the US). In my case, I had to force from the “prefer voice responses” settings since, in automatic mode, I never spoke to me (only the written answer appeared). The operation of this new Siri, at least in its beta phase, It is disappointing. It highlights, in principle, to better understand natural language, but it is far from the memory we have seen in IAS as GPT. For example, I have asked you to add an event from 17 to 18h. Subsequently, I have indicated that I remind me what is the last event he added. His answer has been to add to reminders “the last event you have created today.” Indicating what event it was, I have asked him to modify the time. His answer has been not found. Siri is far from understanding natural language as GPT. At least in this first beta in Spanish On other occasions, he has not even answered my questions or has been frozen. The potential is there but, at least for now, it is a tool far away from what is expected. Regarding the integration with chatgpt, it works as an extension of Siri. We can log in or not and, in case you detect that GPT can attend to our request, it will invite us to use it. This is the key here, will only use GPT if we give permission. If we give GPT permission, the requests will be made through the OpenAI model, but with Siri’s voice. In other words, we will have the GPT responses read by Siri. This integration seems quite good to me, since it will allow mixing the best of Siri and its possibilities at the system level (putting alarms, reminders, adding events, sending emails, etc.) with the GPT potential. Native apps Photos. Apple wanted to add some functions in its native apps, starting with photos. One of the star functions is Clean Up, his rival for Google’s magic draft. And I can advance that it is not even approaching. Photograph of the gallery. Clean Up | Google Magic Draft Photos. First, automatic subject detection has only worked once. The rest, I had to manually select what I wanted to erase. As for the … Read more

Apple has just taken an unprecedented measure

by

From Friday, ICLOUD users in the United Kingdom can no longer activate the protection of advanced data (ADP) with end -to -end encryption. Those who already had this function must deactivate it in the future. The surprising measure comes after British government pressure For Apple to integrate a rear door in its cloud storage service, a decision that could compromise the privacy of users around the world. A key security feature. End -to -end encryption, known as E2EE in English, is considered the most private and sure network communication method. The data is encrypted and deciphered only in the authorized devices, that is, they travel online safely, so that if someone managed to intercept them, they would find a lot of intelligible text product of the cryptographic masking used. Messaging applications such as WhatsApp or Signal and cloud services like ICloud They offer this security feature. If it is correctly implemented, this means that not even the companies that control these services have the ability to spy our conversations or files. And this also applies to governments and security services, which will not be able to access these data even with the corresponding judicial orders. United Kingdom demand. The Washington Post published An article on February 7 in which he assured that British security services had required Apple to create a rear door in ICloud. In other words, the implementation of a mechanism that allowed them to avoid advanced service measures to access private files. It was a controversial measure that did not distinguish the location of the users. Immediate reaction in the US. Although the alleged contact between the United Kingdom and Apple developed privately, the reports of the aforementioned American newspaper lit several alarms on the other side of the ocean. Several congressmen sent a letter American Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, alleging a threat to emerging security and privacy from the United Kingdom and urging measures. Apple’s response. Weeks after the matter came to light, Apple has made an unprecedented decision. In a statement sent on Friday to Xataka, the Cupertino company said it has never implemented a back door in its products and services, and that they will never. In addition, he detailed the measures he would take with Icloud in the United Kingdom. As of today, affected users can no longer activate the security function that ends end -to -end encryption on the platform. “Apple can no longer offer advanced data protection (ADP) in the United Kingdom to new users and current users of the United Kingdom will eventually have to deactivate this security function,” Apple said. “We are deeply disappointed that the protections provided by ADP are not available for our clients in the United Kingdom given the continuous increase in data violations and other threats to customer privacy,” he added in the email. ADP, an optional measure. Although end -to -end encryption is activated by default in services such as WhatsApp and Signal, in ICLOUD it is an optional measure (although certain sensitive data such as saved passwords and data from the health and maps apps are protected by default). UK users could activate it from the settings of their profile to keep the security of their information to the next level. With the disappearance of ADP in the United Kingdom, British users who want to protect their information from possible indiscreet looks should resort to prior methods to 2022, when Apple implemented their advanced security system. That is, making local backups or using other trusted services. Now, it remains to be seen how the British authorities will respond to this movement.

Apple has been making the bulk of the iPhone in China for years. Now wants to leave … and China prevent it

by

Apple is accelerating its diversification plan for the production of the iPhone outside of China … with India as the main alternative destination. Is A story that comes from afar But now steal the accelerator. As revealed Financial Times In an extensive profile about this movement, Apple is running this movement with extreme caution so as not to antagonize Beijing, who sees with suspicion how he could lose his dominant position in the global supply chain. Why is it important. This manufacturing migration can end up being one of the biggest changes in the world economy in decades. China has been the factory in the world for two decades and Apple’s main industrial partner, but the cook company needs to minimize its risks to an increasingly tense and complex geopolitics. In addition to China, it no longer has such a cheap labor that it had a decade ago: its salaries have grown to the beat of its economy. In Xataka More and more Apple suppliers move from China to Vietnam. The problem is that there are not enough workers In figures: The Indian production of the iPhone already represents 15% of the global total. It is expected to reach 25% in 2027. Only the Chinese province of Henan exports between 50 and 60 million smartphones A year, equivalent to all the annual demand of the iPhone in its largest market, United States. The backdrop. This Apple strategy, known as “China Plus One“, the reasons began to take shape: Commercial tensions with the US during Trump’s first legislature. Logistics problems during pandemia, which They cost Apple 8,000 million in income. Chinese restrictions on the use of Apple devices by its officials. The new tariff threats after the start of Trump’s second legislature. Between the lines. Beijing is actively hindering this exodus hindering the movement of Chinese technicians towards India. It is also restricting the export of critical equipment, blocking the entry of Chinese manufacturers in India and imposing regulatory obstacles to Apple services as Apple Intelligence. India, meanwhile, is taking advantage of the opportunity: Has allocated 6,000 million dollars To encourage smartphones production. Tata, the largest Indian conglomerate, is positioning itself as Apple key partner. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka They compete for attracting investments. The iPhone 16 They are already manufactured in India. For the country it is a great milestone. In summary. Apple needs to balance this transition very delicately. China remains vital for its supply chain, but a company like Apple cannot afford to depend on a single country in an increasingly volatile geopolitical context.
