Apple and Google Collaborate to Combat Undesired Trackers; Users will be Notified if…

With this new capability, users will now get an “[Item] Found Moving With You” alert on their device if an unknown Bluetooth tracking device is seen moving with them over time, regardless of the platform the device is paired with.

Apple and Google have worked together to create an industry specification — Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers — for Bluetooth tracking devices that makes it possible to alert users across both iOS and Android if such a device is unknowingly being used to track them. This will help mitigate the misuse of devices designed to help keep track of belongings. Today Apple is implementing this capability in iOS 17.5, and Google is now launching this capability on Android 6.0+ devices.

With this new capability, users will now get an “[Item] Found Moving With You” alert on their device if an unknown Bluetooth tracking device is seen moving with them over time, regardless of the platform the device is paired with.

If a user gets such an alert on their iOS device, it means that someone else’s AirTag, Find My accessory, or other industry specification-compatible Bluetooth tracker is moving with them. It’s possible the tracker is attached to an item the user is borrowing, but if not, iPhone can view the tracker’s identifier, have the tracker play a sound to help locate it, and access instructions to disable it. Bluetooth tag manufacturers including Chipolo, eufy, Jio, Motorola, and Pebblebee have committed that future tags will be compatible.

AirTag and third-party Find My network accessories were designed from the beginning with industry-first privacy and safety protections, and Apple has remained committed to innovating and supplementing these protections to keep consumers safe. This cross-platform collaboration — also an industry first, involving community and industry input — offers instructions and best practices for manufacturers, should they choose to build unwanted tracking alert capabilities into their products. 

Apple and Google will continue to work with the Internet Engineering Task Force via the Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers working group to develop the official standard for this technology.

With iOS 18, Apple May Give Native Apps a Significant Makeover, But AI Will Take Center Stage: Report.

It is said that Apple iOS 18 has ambitious ambitions for the iPhone this year. The tech giant intends to modify certain native apps for iOS, even though artificial intelligence (AI) plays a major role in it. The Cupertino-based software behemoth reportedly intends to redesign at least four of its apps, adding new features and altering their designs. It is rumored that Apple intends to modify iOS 18’s interface, particularly the Home Screen. Notably, there are rumors that the company will also release an iPadOS calculator app.

In advance of its June 10 preview at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple is reportedly planning to make significant improvements to iOS 18, according to a report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg via his Power On newsletter. One of the company’s main strategies to increase iPhone sales is still AI.

India defers approval of Paytm Investment in its payments arm, sources say.

Despite multiple published papers by Apple researchers, it is being said that the company does not intend to introduce its own chatbot this year. Instead, it has again entered discussions with OpenAI, likely to incorporate its GPT models for some of the AI features.

Besides OpenAI, the iPhone maker is also said to be in talks with Google for Gemini AI as well as Baidu for Ernie AI (China only). While the features Apple is planning to build are not known, Gurman suggests the company wants to integrate AI into its existing apps and offer features such as text generator, article summarising in Safari, and missed notification recap. As per the report, these features could be part of Apple’s Ajax AI model, however, the tech giant may also leverage OpenAI, Google, and Baidu’s AI models.

The top 10 stocks to buy today, April 29, are IDFC First Bank, Tata Chemicals, Maruti Suzuki, ICICI Bank, Britannia, HCL Tech, and SBI Card.

Mail, Notes, Photos, and Fitness are the four native apps that the company is reportedly redesigning in addition to the AI technologies that will revolutionize the offerings of Apple iOS 18. Although specifics on what Apple might modify are unknown, new features and a redesign are anticipated. Moreover, the iPhone manufacturer might include a new feature that lets users pin an app anywhere on the Home Screen instead of just on the pre-existing grids.

Note that Apple’s plans for the upcoming iPhone operating system will only be disclosed at WWDC 2024 and that the features and updates of iOS 18 have not been verified by any official sources.

Apple  iOS 18

In conclusion

With iOS 18 quickly approaching, excitement is growing for a big redesign of native apps inside the Apple ecosystem. But the important role AI is about to play is what makes this upgrade unique. With AI taking center stage, customers can expect a more personalized, intuitive, and efficient experience across their devices. From better voice assistants to smarter predictive capabilities, iOS 18 aims to not only polish the way we interact with our devices but also to further the integration of AI into our daily lives. The combination of state-of-the-art technology and a seamless user experience signals the beginning of an exciting new age for iOS users worldwide, as Apple continues to push the frontiers of innovation.

Apple New Leak Details Apple iPhone 16 Pro Models!

It has been reported that Apple intends to incorporate ‘Border Reduction Structure’ technology into the iPhone 16 Pro models to reduce borders and increase screen size. However, complex wiring systems are reportedly making it difficult for suppliers to meet production standards.

The most recent leaked photos verify the largest design changes to Apple’s coming smartphone, the iPhone 16, as additional information about the device becomes available.

iPhone 16

The excitement for Apple’s next iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max is growing as rumors suggest a notable increase in screen size. To achieve this, Apple is reportedly planning to launch an innovative technology called “Border Reduction Structure” (BRS), according to a recent supply chain leak by The Elec (via 9To5Mac).

By reducing the bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro models, this cutting-edge BRS technology hopes to usher in a new era of elegant design. Apple intends to significantly reduce the bezels by utilizing advanced under-display technology, a move that is expected to completely transform the visual experience for customers.

But there are obstacles in the way of realizing this ground-breaking idea. It is alleged that suppliers—including major players in the market like LG Display and Samsung Display—are having difficulty fulfilling Apple’s exacting production requirements. The implementation of BRS technology is hard because it necessitates precise circuit placement beneath the bezel and sophisticated wire configurations.

The study emphasizes that none of the companies have yet achieved production rates that satisfy Apple’s stringent specifications. Notwithstanding the obstacles, Samsung Display is anticipated to provide all four OLEDs for the iPhone 16 Series, with LG Display hoping to help with the supply of OLEDs for the Pro and Pro Max models. Furthermore, BOE is expected to supply OLEDs for the entry-level models.

The wiring method used in BRS technology has raised concerns about possible overheating problems. However, according to reports, Apple and its suppliers overcame these difficulties by using cutting-edge heat-controlled dissipation technologies.

The extent of the bezel reduction in the iPhone 16 Pro models is yet unknown, but it is generally assumed that the larger screens will come without a major increase in the overall size of the device. The expected improvements follow the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which previously had lowered boundaries as shown in earlier leaks.

Tech aficionados are getting more and more excited about Apple’s next big release. The iPhone 16 Pro is believed to have a 6.3-inch display (up from 6.1 inches), while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch display (up from 6.7 inches).
