Apple's AI Will Work Without an Internet Connection: Rumors point to the first iteration of the technology running entirely on the device's hardware.

Quick Glance: Apple's AI to Function Independently from Internet

The processing for the AI will happen directly on the iPhone without connecting to a cloud service.

This ensures enhanced security and privacy for users.

Apple is developing its own in-house LLM called "Ajax" and has acquired multiple AI companies in recent years.

The AI technology is expected to be initially implemented in Messages, Safari, Spotlight Search, and Siri.

Quick Glance: Disneyland performers seek unionization

Performers who assist in bringing Disney's popular characters to life in the Southern California theme parks filed a petition on Wednesday to form a labor union.

The workers, including parade performers, character actors, and support staff at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, requested The Walt Disney Co. to recognize the union they are calling "Magic United."

A significant portion of the over 35,000 workers at the Disneyland Resort, which includes the theme parks, are already unionized. Parade and character workers announced their plans to unionize in February under the Actors' Equity Association.

Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for decades, but organizations have seen growing public support in recent years. The NLRB, which protects workers' rights, reported over 2,500 filings for union representation in the 2023 fiscal year, the highest number in eight years.

Apple loses top phonemaker spot to Samsung as iPhone shipments drop, research company says

nbcnews.com/business/business-news/apple-loses-top-phonemaker-spot-samsung-iphone-shipments-drop-research-rcna147828

Quick Glance: iPhone sales plummet. Here's why

Apple’s smartphone sales dropped by 10% last quarter, primarily due to a sharp decline in sales in China.

Samsung had been the top smartphone manufacturer for 12 years, but Apple briefly took the top spot last year.

The global smartphone market is showing signs of recovery with a 7.8% increase in smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2024.

Despite expectations for Apple and Samsung to maintain their market dominance, the rise of Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi and OPPO/OnePlus may continue.

Quick Glance: Musk Plans Fee for New X Users

Elon Musk intends to charge new users of X in the initial months to curb the activity of automated bot accounts.

The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.

In the first quarter, iPad sales dropped by 25% to $7.02 billion, alongside a slowdown in iPhone sales.

The event is scheduled to commence at 7 a.m. PT, corresponding to 2 p.m. GMT, and Apple is also preparing for its Worldwide Developers Conference from June 10 to June 14.

The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ Film Will Stream After 54 Years on Disney+: Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s unloved — or misinterpreted? — 1970 documentary ...

nytimes.com/2024/04/16/movies/disney-beatles-let-it-be-movie.html

Quick Glance: The Beatles Documentary 'Let It Be' Restored by Peter Jackson Coming to Disney+ Soon

The film 'Let It Be,' which captured The Beatles' final group performance and remained hidden for five decades, is set to make a comeback on Disney+ with an elaborate restoration by Peter Jackson. The revamped version is scheduled to premiere on the streaming platform on May 8.

Peter Jackson's award-winning 2021 docuseries 'The Beatles: Get Back' included footage originally intended for 'Let It Be.' The success of the series prompted Apple Corps to commission Jackson's Park Road Post Production for a meticulous restoration of the film from the original 16mm negative. This process also involved enhancing the sound quality using technology similar to what Jackson utilized in the 'Get Back' series.

The film features a wealth of footage from the studio session in January 1969, during which John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr - accompanied by keyboardist Billy Preston - crafted the 'Let It Be' album, recorded music, and performed atop Apple's London headquarters.

Initially, the critically acclaimed album, winner of multiple Grammys, faced delays due to internal band tensions. However, Lennon enlisted producer Phil Spector to help finalize it as preparations for the film's theatrical release were underway.

Quick Glance: Tension Rises in Mayor of Kingstown Season 3

Jeremy Renner returns as Mike McLusky, taking on the role of the 'mayor' of the prison town Kingstown.

The impressive preview of the upcoming third season showcases his agility and quick-wittedness in confrontations.

The residents of Kingstown are shaken by a series of explosions in the third season, as a new member of the Russian Mafia settles in the city and a drug war rages both inside and outside the prison walls.

The challenge now falls on Mike McLusky to end this conflict, but the situation becomes complicated when a familiar face from his past as an inmate threatens to undermine the mayor's efforts to preserve peace among all factions.
