iOS 27 will be worth upgrading for users who want a much smarter Siri, AI-powered photo tools, stronger security and faster everyday performance. iPhone 15 Pro and newer owners will benefit most from Apple Intelligence features. The biggest caveats are EU launch restrictions for Siri AI and limited advanced AI capabilities on older iPhones.

When macOS Tahoe was released last year, it featured a major graphical makeover of the UI. With the just-announced successor to Tahoe, macOS Golden Gate, Apple is making adjustments to those changes. Why? A lot of it is because of user and developer feedback, while another reason is that Apple may have realized that some of the visual elements needed some fine-tuning.
Here are five…

As you already know by now, iOS 27 comes with a new version of Siri that’s built entirely on a new AI foundation.

The new Siri is more context-aware than ever. It can read through your…

An update to its App Review Guidelines might give Apple the excuse it needs to start clearing out the tens of thousands of garbage apps cluttering up the App Store.

The last two years at WWDC, Apple has felt like it’s been in a hurry. In 2024, in a hurry to catch the AI wave before it entirely passed them by. (They didn’t catch that wave–they wiped out, lost their surfboard, and may have been partially gnawed on by a shark.) Then last year it felt like it was trying to cover up its embarrassment about AI failures by rushing out a new design scheme…

Apple this week announced a dramatically improved version of Siri, aptly named Siri AI. But instead of accolades, among the Apple enthusiasts in places such as X and Reddit, it’s already been decided: Siri AI is just a slightly older version of Google’s Gemini, with its own interface and voice.
You’d be forgiven for believing this. After months of rumors that Apple was turning to…

Apple talked a lot about its brand-new AI-powered Siri during its iOS 27 unveiling at its WWDC keynote, but the update also adds many small new features and improvements aimed at enhancing the user experience.

As each day goes by, we come closer and closer to the absolute end of Intel-based tech on the Mac. macOS Tahoe is the last version to have any support for Intel-based Macs (it’s only a few models, at that).

The biggest deal about macOS 27 Golden Gate isn’t the design tweaks, the better responsiveness, or even the ultrawide display support.
