Event happening here today: https://www.apple.com/in/apple-events/ They're expected to launch: - A new iPhone - New AirPods (in 2 categories) - A new Apple Watch Which is tablestakes. But want us to discuss here because this is going to be their moment to announce how they'll integrate AI into the iPhone/the ecosystem. The event too is called glowtime, which has overlap with how Siri looks. Apple fanboys/girls feel free to add as things get unveiled. Apple deniers, feel free to bash us :D

Before the Android fanboys get angry: yes, Apple is inferior 👍🏻

Pretty interesting MacBook Air 15 inch. iOS looks okay okay

I heard there was an 🍎 event last night. How was it?

If the data is processed on local devices or Apple servers then it's okay. Otherwise one of the reasons to go for iPhones which is enhanced security is gone for good.
