Apple scurries onto the AI stage with too little, too late

Apple has quietly launched MLX, an open-source machine learning framework designed to run on Apple's chips. Although it may bring generative AI apps to Apple products in the future, it seems Apple has fallen behind in the AI space, with Google and OpenAI already battling it out with their advanced AI products. However, Apple's CEO Tim Cook has developed an internal chatbot service called "AppleGPT," and the company's Head of AI, John Giannandrea, aims to power Siri with generative AI. Apple's push into AI comes late compared to rivals like Google and Microsoft.

Apple halts Vision Pro 2 AR headset production: Here's why

Apple has reportedly decided to put the development of its high-end augmented reality headset, the Vision Pro 2, on hold in order to prioritize the creation of a more affordable version. The budget-friendly Vision headset is expected to launch in late 2025 with a target price of around $1,500.
