Over the past year, AI ‘Artificial Intelligence’ has undergone incredible developments. After chatGPT, Google and Microsoft also introduced their own chatbot. Apple lagged behind, but Apple Intelligence has taken the first steps.

Apple Intelligence is a personal intelligence system for Mac, iPhone and iPad that combines the power of generative models with the user’s individual context, resulting in AI that is both useful and relevant. In the near future, Apple wants to make Siri even smarter and change it to a chatbot with a large language model (LLM).

The AirPods are a huge success and many owners enjoy using the wireless earphones. The AirPods Max are also popular, despite them being quite pricey and equipped with a strange Smart Case.

The AirPods Max were renewed by Apple in the fall of 2024, but it was a big disappointment. For example, Apple has only added USB-C and new colors. The H2 chip and associated audio functions are missing on the AirPods Max. This makes the update extremely disappointing and the rumors were initially hopeful.

Nomad products are always of high quality and neatly taken care of down to the last detail. If you are looking for Apple accessories that are stylish and provide good protection, then Nomad is recommended. Especially if you are a fan of color, because then their new Magma is highly recommended.

Nomad has added the color to their sports collection for iPhone and the Rocky Point Apple Watch. The Nomad Sport Case for the iPhone 16 (Pro) has a scratch-resistant plastic with a matte finish on the back. The Nomad Rocky Point Band for Apple Watch is made of flexible and water-resistant FKM rubber. This is a high-quality fluoroelastomer that is antimicrobial.

Although the iPhone 17 won’t be announced until 2025, the first rumors are already starting to appear. Apple would like to launch a brand new model: the iPhone 17 slim, or will it be the iPhone Air?

This will reportedly be the thinnest iPhone ever and you can expect it alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in September 2025. The Air model would replace the Plus and will have a slightly smaller screen. We have listed all the details that have been leaked so far for you.
