Apple will launch generative AI features later this year, but nobody knows what that means
Apple has been known to march to the beat of its own drum, but for once, it's starting on a backfoot.
Generative AI is all the rage, and companies across the world are all trying to incorporate new features that make use of it.

5 weird and ancient accessories you can still buy from Apple
Not everything you can grab in the Apple Store is brand new, and these five items are relics from the past.
Apple releases new products almost like clockwork, with new iPhones and improved Apple Watches debuting in the fall of each year. To a lesser degree, the same can be said about iPads and Macs, which are refreshed at least once every few years. However, what happens to the products that are replaced? They eventually get discontinued, and sometimes they stick around in Apple's certified refurbished store for a bit after that. Later, they get "vintage" and "obsolete" designations, which limit or end Apple's hardware repair support for those products. But their accessories can live on in the Apple Store for well over a decade.

Apple’s planned macOS redesign could be a disaster if it becomes more like iOS
Apple is rumored to be redesigning iOS this year and macOS next year. That might not be as good as it sounds.
macOS users have long appreciated that the operating system, in their view, is more visually appealing than Windows. While Microsoft took a big step forward in modernizing the OS with Windows 11, macOS fans likely still prefer the look of macOS Sonoma.

Apple and Epic Games haven't been on the best terms since 2020, after the latter lashed out over a 30% commission whenever someone purchases something in an app from the App Store.
