    🔗 iPhone 16 Rumored to Feature ‘Significantly’ Upgraded Neural Engine for iOS 18’s Generative AI Features - MacRumors

    A18 series chips are expected to debut in iPhone 16 models in September. It was previously rumored that some generative AI features could be exclusive to iPhone 16 models, and the upgraded Neural Engine could be a reason why.

    My wish is that the pre-iPhone 16 devices can get a reasonably useful generative AI experience under the updated Siri. 🙏🏻

    My uneducated expectations tell me that Apple will announce Apple Vision Pro expanded availability to Canada during their highly expected and anticipated event announcing the iPad Pro refresh.

    One paid subscription cancellation1 and two new free subscriptions2. That is the life of a hobbyist blogger, I guess. 😔


    1. In case you ask, the Craft Bible subscription on Gumroad. ↩︎

    2. In case you ask, a free subscription to my Ghost-hosted website. ↩︎

    I have been tasked to create a short presentation to my colleagues on how to take advantage of ChatGPT in day to day work. That will be a fun one to create. I love those little special projects. 😊👨🏻‍💻

    🔗 Another Longtime Industrial Designer Leaves Apple - MacRumors

    After Evans Hankey left, Apple eliminated the Product Design Chief role and restructured the product design team under operations chief Jeff Williams. According to Bloomberg, some of the people on the design team are unhappy with being led by an operations person instead of a designer, and cost cutting efforts have also changed the way the design team operates.

    There is an apparent imbalance between the ops and design groups at Apple. I’m wary of this trend.

    I’ve been granted a Microsoft Copilot license at work for testing purposes. I have a love and hate relationship with Microsoft software in general. This will probably extend to cover Copilot as well. I shall not be deceived by this video. I will see.

    Apparently, in Ghost, you cannot filter past published posts other than by “Newest First”, “Oldest First” or “Recently Updated”. What if I want to list of articles from 2019? 🤔

    Update #1: Apparently, you need to go through Ghost Content APIs for this.

    🔗 Rumor: iOS 18 could borrow some visionOS design elements

    Apple’s head of software engineering, Craig Federighi, told employees last year that the iOS 18—codenamed Crystal—will have ambitious changes all around

    When device’s design is mature and only sees incremental changes, bigger changes can come in software.

    Since we cannot use an iCloud+ email alias for sending mail in HEY Mail, I depend on free Spark mail client for that, the last version that came out before switching to a subscription. Not a bad solution but annoying nonetheless.

    As I wrote earlier today, I’ve been wondering about a possible use case for Scribbles1. It took me about 5 minutes to get my idea, and it is called Blips, Numeric Citizen Blips, to be more precise2. Blips will enable me to share… short blips of my digital life. I should be fun, noisy at times. But not too much. Enjoy. Or not. 🙃 Straightforward blogging service that is absolutely a joy to use. Continue reading →
