Apple Intelligence

Apple is paying out up to $95 to iPhone buyers in the United States after its much-publicised promise of a smarter, AI-powered Siri failed to materialise on schedule. Eligible US customers can now file claims for the payout, and coverage is walking them through the process as the company faces criticism over unfulfilled artificial intelligence features.

A new leak suggests the next Apple TV 4K will run on the A19 chip with 8GB of RAM, enough hardware to support Apple Intelligence features. If accurate, the streaming box would see its biggest performance upgrade in years and bring on-device AI capabilities to the living room for the first time. Speculation is mounting over an official announcement and release timing.

Alibaba has launched Qwen Intelligence as a full-stack agentic AI platform designed for smartphones. The platform is positioned to let phone makers run AI agents that can handle tasks on a user's behalf, extending Alibaba's Qwen model family beyond cloud services and into on-device mobile experiences. Coverage so far frames it as Alibaba's push to compete in the fast-moving smartphone AI space, where Google, Apple and Chinese rivals are also racing to embed assistants.
