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

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
