TechThursday:WWDC24

Today, we're diving into the latest and greatest from Apple’s WWDC 2024 event. Android users, you not need stick around but there's some pretty cool stuff here for everyone. This year’s WWDC was jam-packed with exciting announcements, especially in the new OS updates for Apple’s ecosystem.

Customization Craze

Guess what? Apple is finally letting us customize things! Yep, you can now organize and personalize the Control Center to your heart’s content. The big news? You can change your icons to match your wallpaper. Say goodbye to that uniform look and hello to a personalized home screen! I can almost hear Android users laughing, but hey, better late than never, right? Plus, there’s a new hidden folder feature, go tinder for married men!

Life Just Got Easier!

One of the coolest updates is that you can now schedule messages without those clunky inbuilt automations. But the real showstopper is in iPad OS. Apple introduced Math Notes under the Calculator app. You can use the Apple Pencil to jot down equations, and it’ll not only recognize them but also help solve them. You can even insert graphs with a tap and add multiple equations to see how they interact. Schoolwork just got a whole lot easier, folks!

AI Alert

Apple dropped a bombshell with their new AI, named Apple Intelligence, get it. Siri will be on another level. And here’s the kicker, they’re teaming up with Microsoft-backed OpenAI to bring ChatGPT to iOS 18 later this year. Imagine the efficiency of these two powerhouses combined, right in your pocket. It’s exciting and a little bit scary, all at once!

CarPlay Magic

Hold onto your seats—literally! Apple showcased the next generation of CarPlay, and it’s mind-blowing. They’ve been working with car manufacturers to make CarPlay integration seamless and super customizable. Think customizable gauges, dynamic layouts, and more, allowing car makers to showcase their unique designs. Driving just got a whole lot cooler.

I’m really pumped about the Apple Intelligence and OpenAI partnership. It might not be a bad time to think about grabbing some Apple and Microsoft stock.
