Apple vs OpenAI update, more
Summary
Apple is piloting an AI Live Notes system at Genius Bar locations to automate session summaries, though employees worry about potential performance monitoring. Bloomberg reports Apple scrapped plans for M2/M3 Extreme chips and Intel-based Mac Pros, shifting focus to the Mac Studio. Additionally, Apple sent legal preservation letters to former employees at OpenAI amid trade secret theft allegations. Finally, iPhone prices rose up to 11% in Japan due to the weak yen, not component costs.
