While Google is helping Apple upgrade its AI, the search giant may have taken a little too much liking to the Apple Intelligence name. A new leak shared by Mysticleaks on Telegram seems to show “Gemini Intelligence” inside Google’s software running on what looks like a Pixel smartphone. For now, it is best to take the leak with a grain of salt until there is something more concrete. But if the video is accurate, Google could be preparing the feature for the Pixel 11 series, which is expected to launch around August 2026. Google can’t be serious right now…Gemini Intelligence? They’re copying Apple Intelligence, which has the worst reputation for AI? pic.twitter.com/Ha3x2VfQLf— Noah Cat (@Cartidise) May 7, 2026 Is Google really calling it Gemini Intelligence? The irony is almost too rich. Apple Intelligence is Apple’s big bet on making Siri smarter, more personal, and actually useful in the AI age. And yet Apple has signed a multi-year partnership with Google to power next-gen Siri with Gemini models. So Google may simultaneously be fueling Apple Intelligence and launching Gemini Intelligence. That is either very efficient or very silly branding. Google Google has already started expanding Gemini’s Personal Intelligence features. These allow Gemini to connect with apps like Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube, and Search to answer questions with a user’s own context. Instead of asking a generic chatbot for help, users can ask for information tied to their emails, photos, saved details, and activity across Google services. Why would Pixel 11 make sense? Pixel phones have long been Google’s test bed for AI features, including call screening and AI-powered photo editing tools. If “Gemini Intelligence” is real, Pixel 11 would be the natural place to introduce it as a deeply integrated, phone-level AI layer. We just hope that the name gets a second pass. Assuming, of course, that there’s a name to pass on at all.","tickers":["aapl"]},{"id":"-6468123107290675907","title":"Gary Lineker's fresh dig at BBC, why he left corporation, new role with ITV","url":"https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/gary-lineker-bbc-motd-itv-37121271","site":"mirror.co.uk","time":1778303700000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/mirror.co.uk.ico","tags":["aapl"],"description":"It has been almost a year since Gary Lineker cut ties with the BBC and Match of the Day but the legendary football pundit has kept himself incredibly busy","tickers":["aapl"]},{"id":"-2250651778725221810","title":"Apple restricted my iMessage/Apple ID without warning and now my phone number is affected","url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/1t7vgog/apple_restricted_my_imessageapple_id_without/","site":"reddit.com","time":1778303352000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/reddit.com.ico","tags":["aapl"],"description":"I run a carpet/upholstery/tile cleaning business and I regularly message customers individually through iMessage.

For fifteen years, Apple set the pace of the silicon industry. Every September, Apple’s A-series chip announcement told the rest of the foundry world what node was viable, what process was production-grade, what the silicon roadmap actually looked like. TSMC’s leading-edge capacity was, in any given year, primarily an Apple capacity decision. The iPhone shipping date, the wafer pre-buys, the HBM allocation — Apple’s order book was the roadmap. That is no longer true. And TSMC’s own 2025 financials prove it. According to TSMC’s annual filings, NVIDIA generated NT$726.97 billion (US$23.4 billion) in revenue for TSMC in 2025 — 19% of TSMC’s total revenue, more than double the previous year’s 12%. Apple, the previous lead customer, generated NT$645.1 billion — 17% of TSMC’s revenue, down from 22% in 2024. The order inverted. Jensen Huang confirmed it on a January 2026 podcast. TSMC’s own annual report — which doesn’t name customers but identifies them as Customer A and Customer B — confirms it. Industry analysts, DigiTimes, Morgan Stanley, and Bloomberg all confirm it. This is not a market-share footnote. It is a structural inversion of a decade-old industry power dynamic. The pace-setter for leading-edge silicon is no longer the company that put the chip in your pocket. It is the company that puts the chip in the data center.

The technology maker just announced a plan to fund renewable power projects, tackle plastic waste, and help small green businesses grow. As the company expands its factory operations across the country, it wants to keep its footprint clean. This new funding aims to bring clean electricity to local homes while backing fresh solutions for a healthier planet. Anyone tracking recent news about Apple knows it has a strict deadline to become fully carbon-neutral by 2030. Apple puts 100 crore into new renewable energy projects The main focus of this new investment is a partnership with CleanMax. CleanMax is a local renewable energy developer. Apple is giving it an initial Rs 100 crore, which equals around 10.6 million dollars, to help scale up clean energy adoption. This money will help create more than 150 megawatts of new renewable energy capacity across the region. According to the data, this amount of energy is enough to power roughly 150,000 Indian households every year. This is not the first time the hardware maker has worked with CleanMax. The developer previously helped the company build rooftop solar projects to power its offices and retail stores with pure renewable energy. Now, this larger investment allows CleanMax to expand the clean energy grid for the broader community. Grants support green startups and local waste management systems Beyond just power generation, Apple is teaming up with Acumen to guide and fund small businesses. Acumen will use the backing to provide grants and mentorship to six early-stage startups. Each startup focuses on areas such as waste management, regenerative farming, or the creation of sustainable livelihoods. At the same time, Apple is expanding its ongoing work with WWF-India to protect local ecosystems from plastic pollution. The goal is to collect and recycle materials before the waste can harm the environment. Notably, the new initiative has arrived after Apple joined brands to oppose strict clean energy reporting rules. WWF-India already runs a successful program in Goa alongside Saahas Zero Waste, a local waste management firm. Thanks to this new support, the conservation group will expand its sorting and recycling model to other cities, starting with Coimbatore.

A user on a 375px iPhone with a 3x retina display viewing your site on 4G should get a different image file than a user on a 1440px desktop with a 1x monitor on a slow hotel WiFi connection. These two users have completely different needs: one wants a sharp image at a small size, the other wants a smaller file at a large size. Without srcset and sizes, they both get the same file, and at least one of them is getting it wrong. What this covers: Why a single image URL cannot serve all devices correctly, what the srcset and sizes attributes actually tell the browser, how the browser's selection algorithm works, and the common mistakes that make the whole system silently fail. The problem with a single image URL When you write , every visitor to your page downloads the same file regardless of their device, screen size, or connection speed. For a full-bleed hero image that looks good on a 4K monitor, you might need a 2400px wide image. On a 375px phone, that same image takes four times more bandwidth to download than needed. The phone then scales it down to 375px, discarding all that extra data. You paid for data that was thrown away. The inverse is also a problem. If you serve a small image to save bandwidth, it looks blurry on high-density displays like Retina screens because those screens pack 2x or 3x more pixels into the same physical space and need a proportionally larger image to fill them sharply. ![Hero image](","tickers":["aapl"]},{"id":"2726289694618473984","title":"Where do you go for wallpaper for the iPhone or iPad sense it has odd display screen being smaller?","url":"https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/where-do-you-go-for-wallpaper-for-the-iphone-or-ipad-sense-it-has-odd-display-screen-being-smaller.2482122/","site":"macrumors.com","time":1778285485000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/macrumors.com.ico","tags":["aapl"],"description":"Well with laptop or computer monitor you could search for 1920 by 1080 image but the iPhone or iPad has odd display so what websites do you go to for wallpaper?

It wasn't clear if the wearable would actually make it to launch because Apple sometimes cancels projects, but it is still in the works and could come as soon as next year. 1. It'll Look Like an AirTag Apple's design plans could change, but rumors suggest the device is a pin or pendant that looks similar to an AirTag. It's been described as having a thin, flat, circular disc shape, with an aluminum and glass shell. A physical control button is included on one edge. Apple wants the final version of the device to be about the same size as an ‌AirTag‌, but because of the hardware inside, it could be thicker. It sounds like the wearable will be versatile. It could have a clip to attach to clothing like a pin, but there's also supposedly a hole in the device so it can be worn as a necklace. Rumors have referred to it as both a pin and a pendant. 2. There Will Be Cameras Apple's AI wearable is going to have at least one camera, but rumors are mixed on exactly what the camera will be used for. Bloomberg says the pin will have a low-resolution camera that gives it info about its surroundings rather than a camera for capturing photos and videos. The camera will be always-on and processing visual data, but users will not be able to use it for images. The Information reports there will be two front cameras, one with a standard lens and one with a wide-angle lens for capturing photos and videos. Apple's AI device will rely heavily on Visual Intelligence, which is currently an iPhone feature that uses the camera to provide users with more information about places and objects around them. 3. Siri is the Brain Rumors have described Apple's wearable as an AI pin or pendant, because it's going to be reliant on artificial intelligence. It's one of several AI-equipped devices that Apple is working on, and it will give wearers a way to interface with Siri without having to use an iPhone. The camera on the pin will give ‌Siri‌ insight, and ‌Siri‌ will be able to answer questions about what the wearer is looking at or the wearer's surroundings. Apple is planning to completely overhaul ‌Siri‌ in iOS 27, turning the personal assistant into a much smarter chatbot on par with Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT. 4. iPhone Required While the AI wearable will have a chip inside, it will be a smaller chip that's similar to the H2 in the AirPods. It won't use a high-powered chip, and most processing will need to be done on the iPhone. The pin is not meant to be a standalone device, and it will instead be marketed as an iPhone accessory. 5. It'll Listen, But Might Not Talk Back To listen for voice requests and to pick up sounds around the wearer, the AI pin will have a microphone. Apple has not yet decided whether to add a speaker for back-and-forth ‌Siri‌ conversations and audio playback. If there's no speaker, responses might be directed to the wearer on the iPhone, Apple Watch, or AirPods. Release Date Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said this week that the AI wearable could see a launch as soon as 2027.Related Roundup: AirTagTag: Apple AI PinBuyer's Guide: AirTag (Buy Now)This article, \"Apple's AirTag-Sized AI Pendant: Five Features Rumored So Far\" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums","tickers":["aapl"]},{"id":"-5926610376797768732","title":"A Closer Look at watchOS 26.5's New Luminance Watch Face","url":"https://www.macrumors.com/2026/05/08/watchos-26-5-luminance-face/","site":"macrumors.com","time":1778279944000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/macrumors.com.ico","tags":["aapl"],"description":"With watchOS 26.5, Apple is introducing a Pride Luminance face, and it's one of the most versatile and customizable watch faces. There are pre-configured color options, but the face also supports custom colors. You can select 1 to 12 colors from a palette that has every color of the rainbow, some in-between shades, and black, white, brown, and gray. The colors you pick are distributed across the watch face in a gradient, available in either radial or linear styles. The first style looks like a starburst, while the second style is a series of rectangular lines. The dial can be set to Rectangle for edge-to-edge color, or Circle for a smaller dial that supports four complications. As with most of Apple's faces, the Luminance face is animated. When the wrist is down, it shrinks into slim lines of color on a black background, but when the wrist is raised, the full color palette is displayed. Colors will also shift slowly. Apple's pre-selected colors represent different Pride flag colors, but with the deep customization options, the Pride Luminance face can match clothing, show off support for sports teams, or just display your favorite colors. iOS 26.5 also has a matching Pride Luminance Wallpaper option that can be customized in the same way. You can choose up to 12 colors for the Lock Screen and Home Screen. On the Lock Screen, the colors collapse onto a black background when the device is locked. To get the new watch face, you need iOS 26.5 and watchOS 26.5. Apple has released RCs, and the public versions of the updates are expected as soon as next week.

In a significant development for the tech and semiconductor industries, Apple and Intel have struck a preliminary agreement under which Intel will manufacture some of the chips that power Apple devices. The news, reported by Robbie Whelan and Rolfe Winkler for The Wall Street Journal on May 8, 2026, marks a notable comeback effort for Intel and highlights ongoing efforts to strengthen domestic U.S. chip production. Deal Details and Background According to people familiar with the matter, intensive talks between the two companies have been underway for more than a year, culminating in a formal preliminary deal in recent months. Bloomberg had previously reported on the discussions. It remains unclear exactly which Apple products will use Intel-manufactured chips—Apple ships over 200 million iPhones annually, along with millions of iPads and Macs—but the partnership represents a diversification of Apple’s supply chain. Both companies declined to comment officially. The Role of the Trump Administration The U.S. government played a pivotal role in facilitating the deal. Last summer, the Trump administration converted nearly $9 billion in federal grants into a roughly 10% stake in Intel. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been actively engaging with tech leaders, including Apple’s Tim Cook, to encourage partnerships with Intel. President Trump personally advocated for the collaboration in a White House meeting with Cook. This fits into a broader pattern: Intel has now secured partnerships with Apple, Nvidia (which invested $5 billion and will use Intel for custom data center CPUs), and Elon Musk’s companies (for a new Texas chip plant serving Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX). Trump has publicly praised the developments, noting in January that government backing helped attract major partners: “As soon as we went in, Apple went in, Nvidia went in, a lot of smart people went in.” Intel’s Turnaround Efforts Under Lip-Bu Tan Intel’s foundry business (which manufactures chips for itself and external clients) had struggled for years due to technical setbacks and lost customers. New CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took over in spring 2025, has focused on revitalization—investing in advanced processes like 14A, reshaping leadership (including hiring ex-TSMC talent), and pursuing high-profile deals. Following the U.S. government investment, Intel’s stock rose sharply. On the day of the WSJ report, shares jumped 7.5% to near record highs around $118. Apple’s Supply Chain Pressures Apple has long relied heavily on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for its custom Arm-based chips (used in iPhones, iPads, and Macs since the 2020 shift away from Intel-designed processors). Surging AI demand from companies like Nvidia has strained TSMC capacity, leading to supply constraints for Apple. Tim Cook has cited chip availability issues on recent earnings calls, affecting iPhone and Mac shipments. This deal gives Apple an additional supplier and supports U.S. efforts to reduce reliance on overseas manufacturing for advanced chips. TSMC remains far ahead in manufacturing prowess compared to Intel or Samsung, but the agreement provides Apple with more options for older, non-cutting-edge chips. Broader Implications • For Intel: A major validation of its foundry ambitions and a boost to its efforts to compete globally. • For Apple: Greater supply chain resilience amid geopolitical tensions and capacity crunches. • For America: Progress toward bringing advanced chip manufacturing back home, aligning with national security and economic goals.

Starting May 8, 2026, Apple requires eligibility verification for both online and in-store education purchases. The company has partnered with Unidays to handle the automated verification. Most users should receive instant approval after submitting enrollment details or faculty documentation. In some cases, it may take up to 24 hours for review. You can complete verification ahead of time through Apple’s education portal, whether you’re shopping online or planning a store visit. This should help speed up the in-store process significantly. Countries Now Requiring Verification The expansion brings stricter checks to several new regions for the first time: • United States • Australia • Canada • Chile • Hong Kong • Turkey Many other countries already had similar verification systems in place. Good News for Homeschool Teachers Apple’s updated program now makes it easier for homeschool educators to qualify. By providing the necessary identification numbers and supporting materials, homeschool teachers can receive approval through the same streamlined process. Why the Change Matters Education pricing often delivers significant savings — up to 16% on certain products like the new MacBook Neo. With tighter margins on newer hardware, Apple wants to ensure discounts go only to eligible buyers. This mirrors Apple’s existing military purchase program, which has used verification for some time. Apple Watch Now Eligible In a related update announced yesterday, Apple expanded education pricing to include the Apple Watch for the first time in several countries, including the US. Eligible students and teachers can now receive approximately 10% off. How to Get Started Visit Apple’s Education Store. Start the purchase process or use the verification portal directly. Complete the Unidays verification with your school details or documentation. Once approved, enjoy your discounted purchase — in-store or online.

Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 models are expected to be released in September, and we have outlined some of the key rumored hardware and software changes below. A new Apple Watch SE is not expected this year, as that model was just updated last year and it typically goes two to three years between refreshes. Apple will unveil watchOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8, and a developer beta will likely be available immediately afterwards. A public beta typically follows in July, and the update should be widely released in September. Touch ID Touch ID may be coming to the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, according to internal Apple software code that leaked online last year. Touch ID would likely be built into the Apple Watch's side button, enabling users to unlock the device with their fingerprint instead of a passcode. Even though new Touch ID references were discovered within the code, there is no guarantee that Apple will move forward with this plan either this year or ever. In addition, credible sources such as Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have yet to mention Touch ID coming to the Apple Watch this year. New Chips After One-Year Hiatus While the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch SE 3 all contain the same S10 chip as the previous year's models, the leaked Apple code indicated that the Series 12 and Ultra 4 will get a new chip. It is unclear if the chip will have S11 or S12 branding, but performance improvements are expected either way. New Modular Watch Face watchOS 27 will reportedly include new watch faces, including a variant of the \"Modular Ultra\" watch face that is currently exclusive to the Apple Watch Ultra. New Apple Intelligence Features On watchOS 26, the following Apple Intelligence features are available on an Apple Watch when it is paired with an iPhone 15 Pro or newer: Workout Buddy Live Translation in Messages Notification SummariesWhen it announced the dates for WWDC 2026, Apple promised to unveil \"AI advancements\" across its platforms, and it can be reasonably assumed that watchOS 27 will include some additional Apple Intelligence features powered by the iPhone. New Satellite Features Apple Watch Ultra 3 has built-in satellite connectivity, enabling Emergency SOS, Find My, and Messages via satellite without any reliance on an iPhone. iOS 27 will reportedly include up to five new satellite features, and the following two would likely extend to watchOS 27:Apple Maps via satellite Photos support for Messages via satelliteAmazon last month announced plans to acquire Globalstar, the satellite company that powers Apple's satellite features on the iPhone 14 and newer and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. In turn, Amazon announced that it has signed an agreement with Apple to provide satellite connectivity for current and future iPhone and Apple Watch features.Related Roundups: Apple Watch 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, watchOS 26Buyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Neutral), Apple Watch Ultra (Neutral)Related Forum: Apple WatchThis article, \"Apple Watch Series 12 and watchOS 27: What to Expect Later This Year\" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums","tickers":["aapl"]},{"id":"5050338143543562849","title":"New Smartphone Study Finds Samsung Users Pay Up to 60% More for Repairs Than iPhone Users","url":"https://cordcuttersnews.com/new-smartphone-study-finds-samsung-users-pay-up-to-60-more-for-repairs-than-iphone-users/","site":"cordcuttersnews.com","time":1778274360000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/cordcuttersnews.com.ico","tags":["aapl"],"description":"Samsung has long sold itself as the value-packed alternative to Apple during the smartphone wars.
