Apple will be more careful in announcing new features
Apple plans to be much more cautious about announcing new features, usually stopping short of announcing new features several months before they actually launch. This change in strategy was revealed by journalists Mark Gurman and Drake Bennett of Bloombergas part of a comprehensive report on deficiencies Appin the field of artificial intelligence.
The reason for this step is, among other things, the recent delay in the launch of the personalized version of the voice assistant. Siri, which is to be powered by technology Apple Intelligence. Apple these promised innovations were introduced during last year's WWDC 2024, while it originally planned to have them available next year. Similarly, the company has faced delays with the new generation CarPlay, which was first announced on WWDC 2022. Just last week Apple koneofficially announced the launch CarPlay Ultra, which is now starting to appear in Aston Martin luxury cars in the US and Canada.
This experience probably led Appto keep the new releases under wraps until they are ready for wider release. The goal is miniThis could help reduce situations where features are announced too early and then delayed or modified for various reasons, which can lead to frustration for both users and developers. This approach could ensure better alignment of expectations with reality and more stable product development Appin the future.

iOS 19 will allow developers to better integrate AI into their applications
Apple is going to iOS 19 a major step forward in artificial intelligence that will allow developers to more easily integrate AI features into their applications. According to the report BloombergThe company will introduce a new software development kit (SDK) that will make available the same advanced language models that Apple uses in its tools Apple Intelligence, for example, for summarizing notifications, writing texts, Genmoji or Image Playground. However, first Apple will focus on smaller models that can be run directly on devices, which will contribute to speed and protect user privacy.
Apple has been criticized in the past for being late in rolling out personalized features Siriwhich were to be part of iOS 18, but whatonec were postponed until iOS 19. Some existing AI features, such as Writing Tools or Image Playground, have not yet gained widespread popularity among users. Apple therefore, it hopes that opening its AI models to developers will lead to the creation of new and interesting uses that will appeal to a wider audience.
Until now, developers could integrate things like notification summaries or Genmoji into their apps, but creating custom AI features using Apple framework was not possible. Most of them therefore used third parties and their models. This situation would change with the advent of iOS 19 was supposed to fundamentally change.
Official presentation of these news Apple plans to attend the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which will take place on Monday, June 9th.

iPhone 17 air battery
Apple is planning to launch a completely new iPhone model this year called iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to impress with its exceptional thinness and design. While the appearance of the device and its camera module have been talked about in the corridors for a long time, now the first details about its weight and battery life are being made public.
According to a Korean blogger going by the nickname yeux1122, iPhone 17 Air with a 6,6-inch display weighs approximately 145 grams, which is comparable to iPhonem SE 2 or iPhonem 13 miniThe battery is said to have a capacity of 2 mAh, which is reminiscent of iPhone 12 (2 mAh). The source of this data is allegedly a “sample from verified mass production”.
Despite the relatively low capacity, it is speculated that Apple will use a new type of high-density battery, which could increase effective capacity by up to 15-20%. This possibility has been mentioned in the past by well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, and reports from Asia suggest that supplier TDK could begin deliveries of advanced silicon anode batteries as early as the end of June.
On the other hand, there are also warning voices. According to reporter Wayne My of The Information Apple During internal testing, it was found that only 60-70% of users would be able to use iPhone 17 Air a whole day without needing to recharge – while for other iPhones this figure is between 80-90%. Apple reportedly plans to offer an optional battery case that could partially compensate for this weakness.
A little more optimistic is the well-known journalist Mark Gurman from Bloombergu, which claims that thanks to a combination of hardware and software optimizations, endurance could be comparable to current models.
From a design point of view, it should be iPhone 17 Air thin at just 5,5 mm and should be equipped with an energy-efficient modem Apple C1. At the same time, there is speculation that he will be missing ultrawide-angle camera, which could free up space for a larger battery.
New iPhone 17 Air According to current information, it is to replace the "Plus" model and is expected to be introduced in the traditional September date.
