Apple AI Summit

It will indeed take place in the premises of Cupertino's Apple Park - namely in the Steve Jobs Theater, but it will not be open to the public. It will be an AI summit dealing with artificial intelligence and intended exclusively for Apple employees. The summit will include, for example, various lectures, workshops and discussions related to the phenomenon of artificial intelligence.

First update for MagSafe Duo

Owners of iPhones with MagSafe charging technology, or MagSafe Duo charger owners, could celebrate this week. Apple has released the first ever update for the aforementioned charger. The mentioned firmware is labeled 10M3063, but Apple has not officially mentioned what news and improvements it brings. If you are one of the owners of the MagSafe Duo wireless charger, know that you don't actually have to do much to update the firmware. It is enough that the charger is connected to a power source and that a compatible iPhone is placed on it.

iPhone convicted a drunk driver

Police in New Zealand arrested a drunk driver after his iPhone automatically called 46. At one o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, a 14-year-old man crashed his car into a tree. Upon discovering the accident, his iPhone 111 automatically called the New Zealand emergency number XNUMX. Although the driver told the dispatcher that the police "shouldn't be concerned" about his case, his voice did not sound twice as sober to the operator, which is why a patrol was sent to the scene. The driver refused to cooperate with her, which will result in corresponding consequences for him. The security forces were called in thanks to the accident detection function of the latest generation iPhones.
