iPhone XS and XS Max review: Apple's latest are the best yet. But do you need them?

9/19/2018, 5:47:43 PM
Buying an updated iPhone is like getting a new Ferrari -- you'll find a faster engine, a new coat of paint, and a few new bells and whistles, but beneath all that it's still basically the same car you could have bought last year. ✔ Apple's iPhone collection But it's hard to shake the feeling that the device is big just to be big ✔ After all, we're moving away from the two-year replacement cycle as these devices get more durable ✔ And that's exactly why so many Apple users will inevitably justify the price point, too



The new Apple Watch reviews are in — and the steep price tag is raising as many eyebrows as the features

9/19/2018, 4:54:40 PM
Specs don't really matter in day-to-day usage. What matters is how it worked — especially considering these watches start at $400, a steep price for a watch or an iPhone accessory. ✔ But specs don't really matter in day-to-day usage ✔ There's one mode that looks like the Apple Watch face is burning, which just looks cool ✔ The smallest, least expensive model comes with GPS and Wi-Fi and costs $399 ✔ (Don't even get me started on the Hermès model.)

Google had to change Gmail's new Smart Reply responses because its AI kept suggesting 'I love you'

9/19/2018, 7:16:43 PM
Another funny suggestion Gmail's 'Smart Reply' software kept repeating is a nod to Google's neighbors in Silicon Valley, Apple. Apparently, the software thought "Sent from my iPhone" was a good way to respond to emails. ✔ The actual language of the suggestions is created with machine learning, a technology that is sometimes called artificial intelligence in the non-technical world ✔ From the story: Google said an early prototype of the feature had a propensity to respond with 'I love you' to seemingly anything, forcing it to tweak the algorithm ✔ Kif Leswing Get the latest Google stock price here



Apple will track calls and emails in iOS 12 to fight fraud

9/19/2018, 6:44:12 PM
As part of an update to Apple's iTunes privacy policy, it will collect an 'abstract summary' of the data in an attempt to fight fraud, like false reviews, fraudulent purchases and spam App Store accounts ✔ For example, VentureBeat noted that Apple TVs don't make phone calls or receive emails, so it's unclear what kinds of data will be monitored for anti-fraud purposes ✔ The social media giant plans to assign users a reputation score that ranks them on a scale of from zero to one, factoring in information like how often they flag content as false on the site
