Apple Faces Criticism, Launches New Products, Explores AI Glasses
Apple's latest products and services have been in the spotlight recently. The tech giant has faced criticism over the repairability of its AirPods Pro 3, while its iPhone 16 family has seen mixed sales performance. Meanwhile, the company has been making headlines with its upcoming models and AI developments.
Apple's AirPods Pro 3 have received a low repair score due to their non-replaceable battery, which is expected to last only 18 months. This has raised concerns about the product's disposability.
The iPhone 16 family has had a modest launch, with the iPhone Air underperforming compared to its siblings. Despite this, Apple continues to innovate with its upcoming models. The FCC has revealed details of two 11-inch and two 13-inch iPad Pro models, as well as a new MacBook Pro powered by the latest M5 Apple Silicon.
In other news, Apple has partnered with Scapade to develop the 'AirPack Backpack' with Find My support. The UK government has demanded access to Apple's British users' data, but the company has refused to compromise user privacy.
Apple is also exploring the AI glasses market, following in the footsteps of Meta. Two versions are planned: one that works with an iPhone and another with a standalone display. Additionally, Apple has reminded developers about its large language model, Apple Intelligence, which processes data locally and is free to use.
