Wi-Fi 7, decryption keys, hearing aids, iOS 18, Recall, hyperthreading, foldable iPhone, Porsche EV, bison bones and rainbow bridge. I have a neighbor who works for Apple and I always joke with him when they release new products. This week there was a lot of “AI” in Apple’s announcement. I asked if all the AI work kept him busy and he had a great response that AI definitely didn’t keep him busy. He isn’t a software guy anyways. So check out all the headlines below to get all of this week’s news including all of the news from Apple.
