Apple’s Siri to operate apps by voice?

🚨 Our Report

Apple is reportedly finally testing the long-awaited (and many times delayed) revamped Siri, which has features that will allow Apple users to navigate and operate apps using just their voice, turning iPhones into truly hands-free devices.

🔓 Key Points

Users will be able to ask Siri to do things like "find a specific photo, edit it, and send it," post comments on social media, log into apps, and add items to online shopping carts—all with their voice.
Apple is testing Siri’s new capabilities with several popular apps—including Uber, Amazon, YouTube, Temu, Facebook, and WhatsApp—to iron out potential problems and ensure seamless integration with various apps.
This Siri upgrade was meant to arrive with the iOS 18 update—which released in September—but Apple was forced to push it back due to technical issues, and is now slating a release date of Spring 2026.

🔐 Relevance

So far, the upgrade to Siri hasn’t been the smoothest of roads for Apple: It’s faced a barrage of criticism over its AI updates, and although pushing the new Siri launch back to Spring next year suggests Apple is prioritizing thorough testing over a quick deployment (to perhaps prevent further disaster and criticism), they have been promising this voice capability for over 15 years, to no avail. And considering that the current version of Siri can’t consistently set a timer correctly, many are questioning whether complete voice control is actually achievable.

How Heineken used AI to cut energy usage by 15%

Beer producer, Heineken, needed to lower its environmental footprint as its brewing operations were too energy-and-water-intensive.
It installed an AI-powered sustainability platform, into its breweries, that enabled real-time monitoring and critical resource optimization.
The system tracked energy and water consumption, enabling detection of inefficiencies and simulated how changes would impact resource usage.
As a result, they saw a 15% reduction in energy usage and a 20% saving on water usage, while reducing expenses and improving carbon reporting

Elon Musk has threatened to sue Apple because its policies prevent “any AI company besides OpenAI from reaching #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation," accusing it of playing politics.
Apple has a partnership with OpenAI, which integrates ChatGPT into its devices, but Musk can’t understand why Apple refuses to put X in their “Must Have” section, especially when it’s “the #1 news app in the world.”
This follows on from Musk's long-term feud with OpenAI (which he helped co-found in 2015), where he is suing the company and its CEO, Sam Altman, for allegedly abandoning its mission to develop AI for humanity.

China is reportedly telling local companies not to use NVIDIA’s H20 AI chips (which were custom-made for the Chinese market) for sensitive projects, especially government-related ones.
Chinese authorities have sent several domestic tech firms notices discouraging the use of the “less-advanced” AI chips, particularly NVIDIA’s H20 chips and certain chips developed by AMD.
This could derail NVIDIA and AMD’s plans to reclaim lost revenue from China, after President Trump permitted them to restart exporting chips (in exchange for 15% of China sales revenue).
