Apple Unveils ‘Apple Intelligence’ with Generative AI and Advanced Siri at WWDC 2024

June 11, 2024

Highlights

Apple Intelligence integrates generative AI for text and image creation
Enhanced Siri with context-aware responses and seamless interactions
New privacy-focused features ensuring data security on-device
Available on iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia with Apple Silicon chips

During WWDC 2024, Apple unveiled ‘Apple Intelligence’—its next-gen take on generative AI.

Described by Tim Cook as a type of “personal intelligence,” Apple Intelligence promises to make the company’s products more useful and delightful.

Among these things are several dozen large language and diffusion models, including ChatGPT.

This AI assistant will also use personal data, calendars, emails, and information that is stored in various Apple devices.

Just like Microsoft’s Copilot in Windows, Apple Intelligence can perform OS-level tasks and generate text or images inside any app on a user’s phone, tablet, or laptop.

But Apple guarantees that the data is secure on-device and hence, only relevant knowledge is sent to the cloud, and the servers are powered by Apple Silicon chips.

Well, here’s what all you can do from Apple Intelligence.

Siri Reimagined: A More Intuitive and Context-Aware Assistant

Now users can type to Siri, and switch between text and voice to communicate with Siri in whatever way feels right for the moment.

Finally Siri also becomes more human, understanding a lot more and responding to much more natural language.

If users stutter on their words or change their minds mid-sentence, the new Siri will pick up on their intentions.

Siri is also able to make calls to ChatGPT or other AI models that provide additional computing power and intelligence when needed.

One of the most significant changes in the new Siri is its redesigned human-computer interface.

Using what the company describes as a card system—this time around, one that draws information from a variety of content for handling a user command—Apple has also applied soft light, which beams across the length of the device’s frame.

With onscreen awareness, Siri makes it easy to perform an action related to information on the screen, such as adding an address received in Messages to a friend’s contact card.

And according to its maker, this new look improves user engagement and intuitiveness with the virtual assistant.

Apart from the redesigned look, the new Siri has more advanced features that include the listening and reply to context.

The user does not have to restate something in following lines, as Siri will smoothly keep in mind what the user is talking about.

It makes any interaction seem more efficient and natural.

Screen perception is another game-changing functionality of Siri, wherein it is able to understand the content a user is browsing and provide operation suggestions for emerging applications.

Siri can now take hundreds of new actions in and across apps, including finding book recommendations sent by a friend in Messages and Mail.

For example, on the aforementioned form where the user is required to enter a driver’s license number, Siri will be able to find the person’s e-driver’s license and pull out the number in question.

Complementing its contextual awareness, Siri now also comes with a richer product knowledge base, empowering it to help users resolve device-related issues more productively.

For any queried new flagship feature like this one, “How do I write a message now and set a delayed delivery?”

in which Siri is directly able to guide them through the new “Scheduled Delivery” functionality added to the iOS 18 Messages app, which now lets people schedule messages for future delivery.

This enhanced product knowledge extends beyond messaging, providing users with a comprehensive resource for navigating and leveraging the latest features and capabilities across Apple’s ecosystem.

Text Rewrite and Proofreading

With brand-new systemwide Writing Tools powered by Apple Intelligence, users can rewrite, proofread, and summarize text nearly everywhere they write.

Here are other things that you can do: Create or rewrite text to have it be more engaging or more easily readable.

Rewrite and Writing tools tone an email or speech.

Make a party invitation Funny.

Clean up notes from class.

It is available system-wide in Apple apps and third-party apps. Apart from that you also get:

Proofreader: check grammar, word choice, and sentence structure with suggestions for edits and explanations.
Summarize: condense selected text into a summary with bullet points, paragraphs, or a table.

Generative AI with Apple Intelligence

Easy to use and built right into apps like Messages, Image Playground allows users to create fun images in seconds.

Apple Intelligence also introduces generative images through diffusion models akin to DALL-E or Midjourney.

Users can create personalised emojis, GIFs, and fun images within apps like Notes, Messages, Pages, and Keynote.

A dedicated ‘Image Playground’ app allows users to generate animations, illustrations, and sketches instantly.

Impressively, all images are created using locally running diffusion models, ensuring no data leaves the device.

In Messages, users can use Image Playground to quickly create fun images for their friends, and see personalized suggested concepts related to their conversations.

Users can choose from various concepts, themes, and styles, and even include photos from their libraries.

The Photos app receives a significant upgrade, with a new layout, custom category and gallery creation, and enhanced image editing capabilities powered by Apple Intelligence.

With Memories, Apple Intelligence can pick out the best photos and videos based on a user’s description, craft a storyline, and arrange it all into a movie with its own narrative arc.

The ‘Clean Up’ tool can remove distracting objects from photo backgrounds with a single tap.

App Modifications

By simply typing a description, a Genmoji appears, along with additional options.

Whether it’s an agent-like ability enabling it to originate actions within and across systems and apps, or its capability for fetching personal data, including email, calendar invitations, and documents, to retrieve and analyze — the assistant is able to proffer suggestions based on one’s schedule and situation.

Privacy is still a central theme for Apple Intelligence.

Apple has embedded 'Private Cloud Compute,' — Apple has embedded ‘Private Cloud Compute,’

Though Apple Intelligence is mostly on-device, for the really heavy lifting that involves releasing more resources like those available in ChatGPT, Apple has embedded ‘Private Cloud Compute,‘ which will push device-level privacy and security to that model in the cloud.

Apple is now adding OpenAI’s GPT-4o to the Apple ecosystem, so that based on the app or tool one is already in, one can continue sending prompts, images, or documents to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT will be available in Apple’s systemwide Writing Tools in macOS, which help users generate content for anything they are writing about.

The app or tool does not need to be left, and soon it will be in Siri as well, so Siri can leverage the power of GPT-4o in cases where local models come up a bit short.

Which Devices will Get Apple Intelligence?

Apple A17 Pro Chipset — Available on iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia with Apple Silicon chips

Apple Intelligence will be available for free in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia this fall, initially in US English.

It will require an Apple Silicon chip, including M-series Macs, iPads, and the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models with the A17 chip or later.

So what about people on older iPhones?

Well they are bang out of luck.

Apple’s AI capabilities need a lot hardware acceleration which only the A17 Pro chipset can provide so bringing the update to older iPhones seems out of the realm of possibilities.

Sony ULT Wear Headphones Review: Powerful Bass and Long Battery Life

Team My Mobile

June 10, 2024

Highlights

Clear and powerful sound with deep bass
Impressive battery life of up to 50 hours
Effective noise cancellation for immersive listening
High-quality audio streaming with Bluetooth 5.2 and LDAC codec

Sony’s audio names generally come under fire, and rightfully so.

I mean, just look at the likes of WH-1000X M5 for their flagship noise-canceling headphones.

But this new ULT series aims at something a little different, creating headphones not for everybody but for those who enjoy the feel of bass in their music.

Launched in India, the ULT series comprises of headphones, Bluetooth speakers, and a big speaker meant to power parties and annoy the neighbours.

The ULT Wear headphones, equipped with XB (Extra Bass) technology, come with a Bass Boost button and seem to be designed to take over from the 1000x series possibly a little more aggressively.

Now, intrigued by these claims, I decided to spend some time with the ULT Wear, and what I found was quite surprising.

Pros	Cons
Clear, powerful sound	Bass can be overwhelming
Long battery life	Call quality can vary
Effective noise cancellation	Plasticky appearance

Sony ULT Wear: Key Specs

50dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
10mm BoomX Technology drivers
60 hours of total playtime
Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity
IPX5 water-resistant rating
40ms ultra-low latency
Mode Sync RGB LEDs
Dual device pairing with Boult Amp app

Sony ULT Wear: Unboxing

Unboxing the Sony ULT Wear headphones was a delightful experience.

The packaging felt premium and well-designed, immediately giving a sense of quality.

Inside, the headphones were neatly folded in their travel case, accompanied by a USB Type-C charging cable, a 3.5mm audio cable, and a user manual.

The minimalist and organized presentation made it easy to access each component, setting a positive tone for my first encounter with the ULT Wear.

Sony ULT Wear: Design and Build

The headphones feature a minimal and functional design, giving them a subtle look.

The Sony branding and the ULT button give a rainbow-esque look upon light reflection.

They come in three colours: black, white, and gray.

The weight of 225g is light, but the headphones don’t feel light and breakable while carrying.

They might appear slightly plasticky at first, but a closer look reveals that they are kin to their more premium sibling, the WH-1000XM5, especially in their ear cups.

The ULT Wear folds all the way into a travel case, much like the old 1000X and XB910N models.

It fits into a rucksack easily.

The big ear pads fit around the ear nicely, offering you a very tight grip.

I have worn them on a flight from Delhi, and even though I felt a bit of the weight, they never became uncomfortable.

The headband is slimmer and more in tune with how Sony incorporates design into their flagship series.

A large ‘ULT’ button located inside, its functionality, however, will be discussed later in the review.

The right earcup is touch-sensitive but remains quite minimalistic.

Broadly speaking, the Sony ULT Wear headphones are well built, have a nice form factor, just enough heft, and are very comfortable.

Sony ULT Wear: Features and Companion App

The Sony ULT Wear headphones feature Bluetooth 5.2 and Sony’s LDAC codec for high-quality streaming up to 990kbps, delivering 32-bit/96kHz to the wearer’s ears.

They also come with a Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) to upscale compressed audio in an attempt to restore it to the quality in which it was originally recorded.

Upon pressing the power button, my Pixel 8 Pro immediately locked onto them through Google’s Fast Pair.

I was just a tap away, and the LDAC link was all set to carry out Hi-Res audio.

WhatsApp Image 2024-06-10 at 5.13.40 PM (1)

WhatsApp Image 2024-06-10 at 5.13.39 PM (2)

Playback and an EQ, plus a graphic of the bass, are right there on Sony’s app.

The headphones are equipped with 40mm dome-type drivers and feature touch controls on the earcups for play/pause, track navigation, and volume control.

The product also has buttons for ANC/Ambient sound and the ULT button controls the bass up to three levels: Off, ULT 1, and ULT 2.

The right earcup which, at first glance, looks very minimalistic, also supports several gestures/touch controls, which worked perfectly fine with the play/pause feature.

But what I really love is the ability to cup the right earcup with my palm to enable transparency mode momentarily.

This comes in handy in instances where you might want to listen to a person speak without really pausing the music.

Sony ULT Wear: Sound Quality

Sound quality is a mixed bag on the Sony ULT Wear headphones due to the ULT feature.

Experimentation resulted in finding the best sound profile by using the Bright EQ preset on the Headphones app with the ULT set at 1 (moderate).

These settings made listening to the ULT Wear a pleasant affair regardless of whether one is using compressed music from Spotify or lossless tunes from Tidal.

The headphones have good performance for genres like rock and electro-pop, and its prowess was showcased in handling almost all genres of music.

Listening to the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen, the mids and highs were clear, and again, the soundstage was nice and wide, enabling the listener to feel each intricate layer of the song.

Bass-heavy music’s excellent quality is represented in the Billie Eilish track “Bad Guy.”

ANC, Call Quality and Battery Life

The ANC performed well in ensuring an immersive listening experience by putting a stop on ambient noise, making it perfect for long listening sessions.

This new offering from Sony provides a robust sound experience with clear mids, crisp highs, and a bass resonating with deepness, particularly for bass enthusiasts.

Call quality, for the most part, is solid on the ULT Wear.

The voices were loud and clear when taking calls, and mostly without outside interference, although some ambient sounds and voices did sometimes bleed in.

Its battery life is also quite good, allowing for about 30 hours with noise cancelling on and 50 with it off.

It has a special quick charge support: 5 hours of operation in just 10 minutes or 90 minutes in just 3 minutes.

The feature facilitates the device for long listening sessions and on-the-go use without the worry of frequent recharges.

Final Verdict

The Rs 24,990 Sony ULT Wear headphones, available for Rs 16,989 on Amazon, deliver a robust blend of advanced features and performance for bass heads.

They are sleek and functional in terms of design, built strong, and offer a comfortable fit.

Running Bluetooth 5.2, LDAC codec, and 40mm drivers, they bring quality sounding music with clear mids, crispy highs, and deep bass.

The DSEE enhances compressed audio, and an ULT button gives users control over just how much bass they want.

A few little issues are noticed with the bass boost and sometimes call quality interference, but overall, they perform well.

5 Reasons to Buy

Excellent Sound Quality: Clear mids, crisp highs, and deep bass provide a well-rounded audio experience.
Impressive Battery Life: Up to 50 hours of playback without noise cancellation, ensuring long listening sessions.
Effective Noise Cancellation: The ANC effectively blocks out ambient noise, making it ideal for immersive listening.
High-Quality Streaming: Supports Bluetooth 5.2 and LDAC codec for high-resolution audio streaming.
Comfortable Fit: Lightweight design with large ear pads and a slim headband for extended wear comfort.

3 Reasons Not to Buy

Overwhelming Bass: The bass boost can sometimes become muddy, detracting from the overall sound quality.
Occasional Call Quality Issues: Some ambient sounds and voices can bleed through during calls.
Plastic Appearance: The initial plasticky look may seem less premium compared to other high-end models.

So, with age-gated signups now implemented, WhatsApp will now be able to actively protect any underage people from access to potentially inappropriate content, thus setting a much healthier environment for communication and exchange to take place.

FAQs

Why is WhatsApp introducing age verification?

WhatsApp is introducing age verification to create a safer online environment for younger users and to comply with international youth protection mandates.

This will help prevent underage users from accessing inappropriate content.

How will the age verification process work on WhatsApp?

New users will need to enter their birth date during the signup process. Existing users will be prompted to input their birth date before they can continue chatting on the app.

What happens if an underage user tries to sign up for WhatsApp?

If an underage user attempts to sign up, WhatsApp will recognize the birth date and restrict access, ensuring compliance with the platform’s minimum age requirements.

Is the age verification feature mandatory for all WhatsApp users?

Yes, the age verification feature is mandatory for all users. Both new and existing users will need to verify their age to continue using the app.

How does this initiative contribute to online safety?

By implementing age verification, WhatsApp aims to protect younger users from potentially harmful content, creating a safer digital space.

It also ensures compliance with legal standards for youth protection.
