If Apple has its way, the very newest accessory for an iPad could be broadcast television as received through an Apple Pencil for some reason.Yes, that is an Apple Pencil acting as a TV aerial for an iPad. Obviously.If you really wanted to, you could argue that Apple has a history of working with broadcast television, since it even had a Macintosh TV in 1993. Not the most successful Mac design ever made, it was painted black, came with a built-in TV tuner, and is said to have sold only around 10,000.It also didn't include everything you needed to get the about-320x200 broadcast television of the day. You still had to plug a TV aerial or a cable connection into the back of the card before it could show you anything.

Macworld With October right around the corner, Apple is gearing up for the big launch of Apple Intelligence. We already know that it requires a healthy 8GB of RAM to run, but now we’ve learned that it also needs a bit of storage as well. According to a support document, “Introducing Apple Intelligence on iPhone,” any iPhone running Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.1 or later will need 4GB of storage dedicated to the feature. That effectively lowers entry-level storage from 128GB to 124GB for the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, and 16 Pro, and 256GB to 252GB on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. A footnote on the page indicates that “Storage requirements for on-device Apple Intelligence models will increase as more features roll out.” Presumably, that means unannounced features that would arrive in iOS 19 and later, but it could mean that the iOS 18 features coming next year, including the next-gen Siri, could require more. It’s not clear what the 4GB of space is needed for or why a similar document for the iPad doesn’t list the same requirement. The Mac isn’t mentioned either other than to say an M1 processor and later is required. Apple Intelligence will roll out in stages beginning with iOS 18.1 next month. The first round of features will deliver Writing Tools including text and notification summaries, “a more capable and conversational Siri,” and better Photos search. This will be followed by image creation features including Genmoji and the Image Playground, as well as context-aware Siri, and ChatGPT integration.03:09 pmApple rejects EU’s Artificial Intelligence Pact
