Apple Intelligence, the AI-powered feature introduced with the iPhone 16 series, is set to expand its language support in April 2025. Apple Intelligence, which launched only in English in many regions, is set to be available in other languages soon.
Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the feature would support over half a dozen new languages including the likes of French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese on the company’s Q4 2024 earnings call. It will also support localized versions for Singapore and India English. Cook listed eight languages, but Vietnamese appeared on an Apple support page as well, bringing the number of languages to eight.

Apple Intelligence to Expand Language Support with 9 New Languages in April 2025 Update
This will likely be included in an April software update, providing Apple customers from more territories the ability to converse with Apple Intelligence in their preferred language. Apple Intelligence is currently available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa. It works with Apple devices running iOS 18.2 or later, iPadOS 18.2 or later, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 or later.
Apple Intelligence is also available in additional languages, which shows that the company is aiming to make its AI assistant available to everyone in the world. By adding more languages, Apple aims to provide a better, more personalized experience for users in these regions. These new languages will further assist the assistant in performing better since it will allow people who do not speak English to access their devices with ease.

Apple Q1 2024 Earnings Report: In the fast-paced world of tech giants, Apple continues to surprise us with its ability to break its own records. The company’s latest financial results prove there’s more to the tech giant than just iPhones. The latest earnings report reveals fascinating shifts in consumer behavior and Apple’s evolving business strategy. Let’s dive into what made this quarter special and what it means for Apple’s future.
The final months of 2024 brought exceptional news for Apple investors and enthusiasts alike. The company reported a staggering $124.3 billion in revenue for the quarter ending December 28, 2024, marking a 4% increase from the previous year.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, emphasized the significance of these results during the earnings call: “This quarter represents not just numbers on a spreadsheet, but the trust millions of customers place in our ecosystem. We’re seeing unprecedented engagement across our platforms, and that’s what truly excites us about the future.”

Services Division Emerges as the Dark Horse
The most compelling story from this quarter’s earnings isn’t about hardware at all. Apple’s services sector, encompassing Apple Music, TV+, and iCloud, reached an unprecedented $26.3 billion in revenue. This remarkable performance highlights the company’s successful transition from a purely hardware-focused business to a comprehensive technology ecosystem provider.
Industry analyst Sarah Martinez provides valuable insight into this transformation: “Apple’s transformation into a services powerhouse is perhaps the most underappreciated story in tech. They’re not just selling products anymore; they’re selling experiences that keep users coming back for more.”
iPhone Sales
While the overall picture remains bright, iPhone revenue experienced a slight decline, dropping to $69.1 billion from $69.7 billion in the previous year. This modest decrease, while noteworthy, should be viewed in the context of Apple’s broader success and diversification strategy.
Geographic Performance
The earnings report revealed strong performance across multiple regions: • Record-breaking sales in the Americas • Strong growth in European markets • Impressive numbers from Japan • Positive results across the Rest of Asia Pacific
However, the Chinese market presented challenges, with revenues declining by over $2 billion. This development has sparked discussions about Apple’s future strategy in this crucial market.
Mac and iPad are Steady Performers
Traditional hardware segments maintained their solid performance: • Mac revenue reached $8.9 billion • iPad brought in $8.0 billion
These figures reflect the continued relevance of Apple’s computing products in an increasingly digital world.
AI Revolution
Apple’s next frontier appears to be artificial intelligence, with Apple Intelligence scheduled for expanded language support and regional availability in April. Tim Cook shared his vision during the earnings call: “We’re on the cusp of something truly transformative with Apple Intelligence. The technology will fundamentally enhance how users interact with our devices across the ecosystem.”
Market Impact and Future Outlook
Financial analyst Michael Chen offers a broader perspective: “Apple’s Q1 results tell us something crucial about the company’s evolution. They’ve successfully transformed from a hardware company into a technology ecosystem provider. The slight dip in iPhone sales might actually be the best news for long-term investors – it shows Apple doesn’t need to rely solely on phone sales anymore.”
What’s Next for Apple?
Apple’s heading into 2025 with big plans – AI is taking center stage, and services are growing stronger than ever. The upcoming Apple Intelligence launch promises to make our devices smarter, while record-breaking device numbers show Apple’s ecosystem is bigger than ever. Even with iPhone sales taking a small dip, Apple’s shift from just making gadgets to creating complete digital experiences proves they’re playing the long game.

Apple has put on hold a new pair of augmented reality (AR) smart glasses that were anticipated to work with its Mac computer line, according to a report. The device was Apple’s most ambitious wearable since the company launched the Apple Vision Pro and was in development when Apple decided to pull the plug and abandon the project, according to Bloomberg. For the time being, the Vision Pro seems like the only AR/VR hardware from Apple on the horizon.

Apple Reportedly Halts Development of AR Glasses Designed for Mac Integration, Focus Remains on Vision Pro
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (citing unnamed sources), Apple was working on the AR glasses under the internal codename N107. The device itself was said to look like a normal pair of glasses, albeit with advanced displays; its intended purpose would have been to pair with Mac computers. But Apple before the work could get to production reportedly pulled the plug on the project.
Apple introduced the Vision Pro in the United States in 2011 as its initial spatial computer, with assistance for AR and virtual reality (VR). These now-canceled AR glasses would have been considerably lighter and more consumer-friendly than the Vision Pro, which is large and has an eye-watering price of $3,499 (~ ₹3 lakh).
The AR glasses were intended to use a Mac as a computer, unlike the Vision Pro, which has a built-in processor, due to limitations in CPU power and battery life, preventing them from working with the iPhone. Apple also wanted them to be far lighter than the Vision Pro, which still needs a strap to hold the headset in place.
While Apple is expected to release updated versions of the Vision Pro, it remains uncertain whether the company will revisit its AR glasses project in the future. Meanwhile, competitors like Snap and Meta have showcased AR glasses prototypes that could revolutionize user interactions. Meta, in particular, is expected to launch its AR glasses, codenamed Orion, by 2027, a year after Apple is rumored to release a successor to the Vision Pro. However, as with all Apple products, official details will likely remain under wraps until the company is ready for an official announcement.
FAQs
Why did Apple stop developing AR glasses?
Apple halted the project due to technical challenges and focus on the Vision Pro.
When will Apple release new AR glasses?
It’s unclear when Apple will launch AR glasses, with no plans announced for the near future.
Apple has opened discussions with Bharat Forge, part of the Kalyani Group, to potentially bring the company on board as a supplier in India, as reported by ETTelecom. Sources indicate that Bharat Forge could manufacture various components, including mechanical parts, for Apple if talks progress positively. “Apple is engaging with top Indian companies, and discussions with Bharat Forge, based in Pune, Maharashtra, are underway,” a source stated.

Apple in Talks with Bharat Forge for a Potential Component Manufacturing Partnership in India
In the last two years, Apple has been gradually putting a wider supplier ecosystem in India to increase local value addition in the country in line with the company’s strategy to reduce its manufacturing dependency on China. The company has three iPhone assembly plants in India, with the largest facility operated by Foxconn in Tamil Nadu, and two others overseen by Tata Group in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
Apple’s also brought on board suppliers, like Sunwoda, which manufactures battery packs; Foxlink, which designs cables; Aequs, which focuses on enclosures; and Salcomp, one of Apple’s earliest partners in India, now expanding into coils, and power packs, and magnetics, all from China, Japan, and Taiwan. Bharat Forge, a major Indian manufacturer employing nearly 5,000 people, operates across multiple industries including forging, automotive, energy, aerospace, and defense. Baba Kalyani heads the company, which has an international presence with leading-edge engineering capabilities.
Apple’s key supplier Amperex Technology Ltd (ATL) is all set to start production of battery cells at a 180-acre facility in Manesar, Haryana. Meanwhile, firms such as the Motherson Group, are vying to get into Apple’s supply chain via alliances with companies such as Hong Kong’s BIEL Crystal Manufactory. Apple has substantially increased the amount of value it adds locally here, which has now reached 20% for multiple models of the iPhone from 5-8% when production began under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme in 2020.
In 2024, Apple’s production in India was valued at $17.5 billion, with record exports of $12.8 billion. Experts predict that Apple will continue to strengthen partnerships with Indian suppliers, particularly for iPhone enclosures. Over the next year, more local vendors are expected to join its network, complementing existing operations like Tata Group’s unit in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.
FAQs
What is Bharat Forge’s role in Apple’s India supply chain?
Bharat Forge could potentially manufacture mechanical parts for Apple in India as part of their ongoing talks.
Why is Apple expanding its supply chain in India?
Apple aims to diversify manufacturing beyond China, enhancing local value addition and increasing production in India.
Apple has reached a significant milestone, with 2.35 billion active users, as announced by CEO Tim Cook during the company’s latest earnings call. It marks the Cupertino-based technology company’s new record and represents a 150 million jump since 2023 and a 400 million rise since early 2022. And Apple Intelligence has been integral to its success, helping the company post its best quarter ever. The source notes that the rise in the number of active users is impressive, while YoY iPhone sales slightly fell at 1%.

Apple Reaches 2.35 Billion Active Users, Reports Best Quarter Despite Slight iPhone Sales Decline
This decline implies that Apple Intelligence, despite being an engine of the company’s overall performance, may not have been a boon to the truck and particularly iPhone sales. However, the growth in active users also shows that the wider Apple ecosystem of products and services is healthy. The 2.35 billion active users is the largest number Apple has ever disclosed, capturing the brand’s growing reach and clout in the tech sphere.
Some of the best customer loyalty numbers in the world and strong hardware, software, and service converts. Despite the small dip in iPhone sales, Apple’s overall approach of expanding its product services and diversifying its portfolio is working. This diversification beyond just the iPhone — into wearables, services like iCloud Apple Music, and other products — has helped Apple continue to grow and remain highly profitable.
Apple Intelligence is leading the charge, part of a long game Apple is playing for the future. With Apple doubling down on its custom chips and putting AI capabilities at the heart of its roadmap, it seems evident that its, now-enviable, ecosystem will remain a major force to reckon with as far as its growth prospects are concerned. Also, while iPhone sales might ebb and flow, if the company is growing its active user base, it shows Apple is still firmly in control of the tech industry.
FAQs
What is Apple’s new active user count?
Apple now has 2.35 billion active users, marking a significant increase in its user base.
Did iPhone sales grow for Apple?
No, iPhone sales saw a slight decline of 1% year-over-year despite overall growth in active users.
iOS 18.3 Update: Hey there, fellow iPhone enthusiasts! As your tech-savvy friend who’s always excited about the latest Apple updates, I’m here to break down everything new in iOS 18.3. While it might not be as flashy as its predecessors, this update packs some interesting surprises that’ll make your iPhone experience even better. Let’s dive into what’s changed and why it matters to you!

Now iOS 18.3 Update is Automatic!
Remember how you used to manually enable Apple Intelligence? Well, those days are gone! With iOS 18.3, Apple’s taking a “ready-to-go” approach. The moment you update your device, Apple Intelligence springs into action automatically. It’s like having a personal assistant who doesn’t wait to be invited to help!
“This shift to an opt-out model shows Apple’s growing confidence in their AI capabilities,” says Sarah Chen, a tech analyst I recently spoke with. “They’re essentially saying, ‘This feature is so good, we want everyone to experience it right away.’”
But here’s the scoop: This automatic activation applies to specific devices only:
iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro models
iPad mini 7
Any Mac or iPad rocking an M-series chip
Not feeling the AI vibe? No worries! You can always turn it off in Settings, but Apple’s betting you’ll want to keep it around once you see what it can do.
Visual Intelligence: Your Camera Just Got Smarter
If you’re rocking an iPhone 16, you’re in for a treat! The camera’s not just for taking pretty pictures anymore – it’s becoming your personal assistant. Need to add an event to your calendar? Just point your camera at it. Wondering what that beautiful flower is in your garden? Your iPhone’s got you covered.
“It’s like having a botanist and a personal secretary in your pocket,” jokes Mike Thompson, a long-time iPhone user I interviewed. “The camera is becoming less about just taking photos and more about understanding the world around us.”
Notification Summaries: Getting Smarter About Your Alerts
Here’s something interesting – Apple’s been listening to our complaints about those sometimes-wonky news headlines in notification summaries. They’ve temporarily hit pause on News and Entertainment summaries while they work on making them better. It’s like when your favorite restaurant takes an item off the menu to perfect the recipe!
What’s new in the notification department:
A clear “beta feature” warning (hey, at least they’re honest!)
Italicized text for AI-generated summaries
Easy management right from your Lock Screen
Calculator
Remember that satisfying double-tap on the equals sign to repeat calculations? It’s back, baby! After a brief hiatus in iOS 18, Apple realized sometimes the old ways are the best ways. As my friend Lisa, an accounting student, put it: “This is a lifesaver for those of us who do repetitive calculations. Sometimes the simplest features are the most useful!”
Security Updates
Let’s talk security – because it’s kind of a big deal. iOS 18.3 patches up 25 security holes, including one that was actively being exploited. That’s like finding and fixing 25 different ways someone could break into your digital house!
Some notable fixes:
A CoreMedia vulnerability that needed immediate attention

Several AirPlay security improvements
Kernel and WebKit (Safari) protection updates
“These security updates might not be the most exciting features to talk about, but they’re absolutely crucial,” explains cybersecurity expert James Martinez. “Think of them as invisible guardians protecting your digital life.”
Black Unity Wallpaper
Because who doesn’t love a fresh look? Apple’s thrown in a gorgeous new wallpaper to match their latest Apple Watch offerings. It’s like getting a free interior design upgrade for your digital space!
Bug Fixes
Every update comes with its share of bug fixes, and iOS 18.3 is no exception. Two particularly annoying bugs got squashed:
The disappearing Siri keyboard issue (no more ghost typing!)
That persistent Apple Music playback problem (because music should stop when you want it to)
Should You Update?
Here’s the bottom line: while iOS 18.3 might not be the most revolutionary update we’ve seen, it’s definitely worth installing. Between the enhanced security features, the return of beloved calculator functionality, and the smarter AI features, there’s something here for everyone.
“It’s like getting a tune-up for your iPhone,” says tech reviewer Amanda Chen. “You might not see massive changes on the surface, but everything runs smoother and safer.”
Remember to back up your device before updating – it’s always better to be safe than sorry! And hey, who knows? You might discover some hidden gems in this update that make your daily iPhone use just a little bit better.

The streaming service Netflix has rolled out a one-tap download feature for a whole TV season in its iPhone and iPad apps. Now more than 3 years later, Apple device owners will finally get the feature in a new rollout, as it was originally released for Android users all the way back in 2021.

Netflix iOS App Adds One-Tap TV Season Download Feature, Prices Unchanged in India
Until now, iPhone/iPad users had to download each episode of a TV show by itself for offline watching, a laborious and infuriating process. This is especially significant considering that before the update, users had to maneuver onto each episode to download to the device. Netflix will add that little download button next to the Share button on a show’s display page, so you can start downloading a whole season with one tap.
Users can manage their downloads through the “My Downloads” section, found under the “My Profile” tab at the bottom right corner of the app’s home page. Here, they’re able to monitor and manage each downloaded episode individually. To use this feature, iPhone and iPad users need to follow these simple steps: First, they need to update the Netflix app to the latest version. Then, they can visit the TV show they’d like to download, choose the season they’d like to download from the drop-down menu, and tap on the “Download Season [season number]” option next to the Share and Rate buttons.
Or they can tap the Download button below the Play button under the season’s trailer to download the chosen season instead of downloading individual episodes, as before. This feature comes shortly after Netflix raised its subscription prices in some countries, including the US, Canada, Argentina, and Portugal. However, the prices in India remain unchanged, with Netflix subscriptions starting at ₹149 per month for the Mobile plan, ₹199 for the Basic plan, ₹499 for the Standard plan, and ₹649 for the Premium plan.
FAQs
Can I download an entire TV season on Netflix for iPhone?
Yes, the new feature allows one-tap season downloads.
Microsoft has announced that iPhone users can receive their messages, calls, and other phone details directly on the Start menu of their Windows 11 PC. While this feature is already available to Android users, the latest update to the phone Link App for Windows Insider users now makes it possible to use an iPhone.
According to the update, released through a Windows Insider Blog, the feature allows iPhone users to check important details including the phone’s battery level and other network information in a dedicated section of the Start menu.

iPhone Integration with Windows 11 Start Menu Now Live for Users in Latest Phone Link Update
Moreover, it comes with an integration that features a “Recent” tab that shows notifications from the phone. This update expands on a feature Microsoft announced in October that involved easier file sharing between Windows PCs and iPhones. By using the Phone Link app on Windows and the Link to Windows app on iOS, users could transfer files between devices.
Now, thanks to the Start menu integration, users can simplify this further by using a new button labeled Send files, which allows users to share files from their iPhones with their Windows PC — without leaving the Start menu. Users must own a Windows PC with Bluetooth LE hardware, enroll in the Windows Insider program, and run either the Beta Channel with Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 4805 or newer or the Dev Channel with Build 26120.3000 or newer to use this feature.
The Phone Link app (1.24121.30.0 or newer) and Link to Windows app on the iPhone must also be up to date. Setting up the integration is simple. Users just need to open the Start menu, select the device connection option, choose iPhone, and follow the on-screen instructions to establish a connection between their iPhone and Windows PC.
FAQs
Which iPhones support the new Start menu integration with Windows 11?
The feature works with iPhones running the Link to Windows app, available for iOS devices.
Do I need any special software to enable the iPhone-Windows integration?
Yes, you need a Phone Link on Windows and the Link to Windows app on your iPhone.
Hey there, Apple fans! If you’ve been keeping up with the latest iPhone rumors, you’ve probably heard some buzz about the iPhone 17 lineup. One of the hottest topics? The size of the Dynamic Island. Will it shrink? Will it stay the same? Well, according to trusted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 17 models will remain “largely unchanged” compared to the iPhone 16 lineup.
Let’s break it all down and explore why Apple might stick with the same design, what this means for the iPhone 17, and what else we can expect from the upcoming models.
What Is the Dynamic Island?
If you’re not familiar with the term, the Dynamic Island is Apple’s creative replacement for the notch. Introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro models, it’s a pill-shaped cutout at the top of the screen that houses the front camera and Face ID sensors. But it’s not just a static cutout—it’s interactive.
Apple designed the Dynamic Island to display notifications, music controls, call details, and more, making it a functional part of the user experience. By the time the iPhone 16 lineup rolled out, the Dynamic Island had become a standard feature across all models, signaling Apple’s commitment to this design.
No Changes to the Dynamic Island, True or Not?
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 lineup will feature a Dynamic Island that’s the same size as the one on the iPhone 16 models. This might come as a surprise to some, especially since earlier rumors suggested that Apple could shrink the cutout on the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Kuo, a well-known supply chain analyst with a strong track record, believes Apple isn’t ready to make any major changes to the Dynamic Island just yet. While this might disappoint those hoping for a sleeker design, it’s worth noting that Apple often takes an incremental approach to design changes.
Why Apple Might Keep It the Same
So, why wouldn’t Apple shrink the Dynamic Island if they could? Here are a few possible reasons:
Supply Chain Limitations Apple’s design choices are often tied to what its suppliers can deliver. If the sensors for Face ID and the front camera haven’t been miniaturized enough to meet Apple’s standards, the company might hold off on shrinking the cutout.
Brand Identity The Dynamic Island has quickly become a recognizable feature of modern iPhones. Changing it too soon could disrupt Apple’s branding and confuse consumers who are just getting used to this design.
Software Integration Apple’s software and third-party apps are now optimized for the current size of the Dynamic Island. A change in dimensions would require developers to adapt, which might not align with Apple’s immediate plans.
Incremental Innovation Apple is known for rolling out design changes gradually. By keeping the Dynamic Island the same size for another generation, the company can focus on other improvements, like performance and camera upgrades.
What Else Can We Expect from the iPhone 17?
While the Dynamic Island might stay the same, the iPhone 17 lineup is still expected to bring some exciting updates. Here’s what we might see:
Processor Upgrades The iPhone 17 models will likely feature a new chip, possibly the A18, offering better performance and energy efficiency.
Camera Enhancements Apple is always improving its cameras. Expect better sensors, improved low-light performance, and new features for both photos and videos.
Battery Life Improvements With more efficient hardware and software, the iPhone 17 could offer longer battery life compared to its predecessors.
Design Tweaks While the Dynamic Island might not change, Apple could introduce new colors, materials, or subtle design adjustments to differentiate the iPhone 17 from the iPhone 16.
Should You Wait for the iPhone 17?
If you’re using an older iPhone and need an upgrade, the iPhone 16 is already a fantastic choice. But if you’re someone who always wants the latest and greatest, it might be worth waiting for the iPhone 17. Just keep in mind that the Dynamic Island isn’t expected to change, so if that’s your main reason for holding off, you might want to reconsider.
According to Ross Young, a well-known display analyst, the iPhone SE 4 will have no Dynamic Island, and in fact, it will not even feature a notch. This contradicts an earlier leak from earlier in the month when images of the iPhone SE 4 with a Dynamic Island were shared.
When it published those images of the devices, they were exactly the same design features as those found on higher-end iPhone models. But Young’s newly published remarks suggest that the alleged “iPhone SE 4” will retain the notch — as on the iPhone 14 and contrary to previous rumors.

iPhone SE 4 to Feature Notch Instead of Dynamic Island, Analyst Ross Young Confirms
There had been clues in earlier leaks of Dynamic Island, including a grainy one that surfaced in February 2024, but it seems the consensus from multiple sources has actually been pointing toward a notch. Young’s assertion is also reasonable, given that the iPhone SE 4 is apparently based on the iPhone 14 and would therefore feature the notch and not go with a Dynamic Island.
The screen protectors for the iPhone SE 4 also appear to support the notch design, lending additional weight to Young’s claim. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to mark the end of Touch ID on Apple’s lineup, as all future iPhones will transition to Face ID. As for specs, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to have a 6.1-inch display, a single-lens rear camera, 8GB of RAM, and the new A17 Pro chip, enabling the new Apple Intelligence features.
Additionally, the iPhone SE 4 will be powered by a similar design as the iPhone 14, making it more affordable but still competitive in terms of performance. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to launch in the spring, most likely in April 2025, marking another milestone in Apple’s ongoing refinement of the iPhone lineup.
FAQs
Will the iPhone SE 4 have a Dynamic Island?
No, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a notch, not the Dynamic Island.
When will the iPhone SE 4 be launched?
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to launch in April 2025.
