About this announcement and other exciting news on the sidelines...
Apple apologizes for the iPad Pro Crush ad
The new iPad Pro announcement sparked widespread controversy. Apple showed a video showing a hydraulic piston crushing many tools, including musical instruments, cameras, electronic games, computers, paint, and other things, to express the idea of combining all these tools in one device.
The advertisement was met with disapproval and disapproval from many people. It was described as “destroying the human experience,” prompting Apple to apologize. The company confirmed that designing products that empower creators is at the core of its work, and that it misexpressed its idea. The video has not been pulled from YouTube, but it will not be shown on television.
iPad Pro 2024 bend tests
The first bending tests were conducted for the 2024 iPad Pro with the M4 processor, and it seems that Apple has succeeded in making its thinnest device as durable as the previous generation iPad Pro with the M2 processor. The reviewers took two different approaches. One, YouTuber JerryRigEverything, attempted to bend the device with his hands, while YouTuber MobileReviewsEh placed the device under a dynamometer and placed weights on top of it.
When trying to bend by hand while it is in the horizontal position, the device holds up thanks to the sturdiness of its internal structure. But in portrait mode, it cracked near the USB-C port. This is due to the presence of a central metal shaft that provides additional strength for horizontal bending, but is not sufficient to resist severe vertical bending.
Reviewers concluded that the new iPad Pro 2024 is just as durable as the previous generation, if not a little more, despite its thinness. Therefore, there are no fears of the device being randomly bent in normal use.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is much larger than the iPhone 15 Pro Max
In a new report, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to come with an increase in overall size from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches. This is demonstrated by a dummy model in an image shared by ZONEofTECH on the X platform. The difference in size is expected to be around 0.2 inches, although the practical impact on users is still uncertain. Both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are expected to have larger dimensions compared to their predecessors, which leads to a slight increase in weight. In addition, the iPhone 16 Pro Max screen may provide up to 20% higher brightness. The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are expected to retain their current sizes of 6.1 and 6.7 inches.
Samsung mocks the iPad Pro “Crush” ad
Samsung took advantage of the backlash against Apple's iPad Pro "Crush!" Which sparked widespread controversy. It features a hydraulic ram destroying gadgets and inventions, with the aim of portraying the iPad as a shortened version of all of those things. But this announcement sparked great criticism because it was a destruction of human creativity over the years. Which made Apple apologize for this.
In this regard, Samsung released an advertisement showing a musician picking up a damaged guitar following hydraulic pressure, and sitting in front of the Tab 9 Ultra displaying a sheet of music. “Creativity cannot be crushed,” says the advertising slogan. Samsung shared the video on Twitter with the caption, “We will never crush creativity.”
This mockery of Apple in Samsung ads is not new, as the company has mocked Apple a lot.

Among the new accessibility features in the iOS 18 update that Apple reviewed was the “Reading Mode” feature in the “Magnifier” application, which will convert words in images into lines of text. Apple did not provide specific details about the feature, but it shared a screenshot showing the ability to change the font and read text aloud.
Apple also revealed that iOS 18 will allow users to turn on “Detection Mode” in the Magnifier app using the Actions button. Discovery mode can identify and read aloud all text within the iPhone camera's field of view.

◉ Voice Recognition: This feature will enable deaf or hard-of-hearing drivers or passengers to receive notifications on CarPlay for driving-related sounds, such as car sirens and sirens.
Apple launches a feature that reduces the feeling of dizziness while driving
Apple also announced the “Vehicle Movement Signals” feature, which aims to prevent dizziness caused by looking at an iPhone or iPad while driving. According to Apple, research suggests that vertigo is typically caused by a sensory conflict between what a person sees and what they feel, which may prevent some users from comfortably using an iPhone or iPad while riding a moving vehicle.
Vehicle Motion Signals are designed to avoid this sensory conflict by using on-screen visuals that indicate changes in motion in real time.
Apple announces eye tracking feature for iPhone and iPad
Apple says that the “eye tracking” feature on the iPhone and iPad in iOS 18 will allow users to navigate between the contents of their devices with their eyes only. This feature relies on artificial intelligence, and is designed for users with physical disabilities, as it uses the front camera to set up and adjust the feature in seconds, and with machine learning built into the device safely on the device and not shared with Apple. Eye tracking works via iPadOS and iOS apps, and doesn't require additional hardware or accessories.
An HDR problem affects the new iPad Pro
According to a review on iMore, some new iPad Pros with OLED displays have trouble displaying HDR content at certain shades of blue. The site notes that certain shades of blue cause HDR lights to appear dull and almost white, a defect that can be detected as distortions in images.
The review explained that the problem appears “in very specific circumstances” and does not appear on other OLED devices such as the iPhone 15 Pro. It is also difficult to detect most of the time, and there is no clear reason for its occurrence. Apple announced that it is aware of the problem and is working on a software update to solve it.
Apple ends OpenAI deal to bring GPT chat features to iOS 18
A possible understanding between Apple and OpenAI to add ChatGPT automated chat technology to the iOS 18 update. The way to integrate this technology is not yet clear, but it will be among a group of artificial intelligence features that Apple plans to offer. Apple is in similar talks with Google on this matter as well, but no agreement has been reached. Apple is expected to reveal details of artificial intelligence at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) next month.
TikTok automatically labels content generated by artificial intelligence
The TikTok platform announced a new feature to detect artificial intelligence-generated content even if it was made outside of TikTok. Photos and videos that use AI technology will automatically have an “AI Created” tag added regardless of origin. TikTok relies on a technology called “Content Credentials” to identify artificial intelligence-generated content, and this feature will be applied to audio content later. This will help users understand the origin of the content and avoid confusion. TikTok will also include tags for AI-generated content on TikTok even after videos and photos are downloaded, to help others verify the source of the content.
Convert audio to text in iOS 18 Voice Memos and Notes app
It is said that the iOS 18 update will bring new audio features to the “Voice Memos” and “Notes” apps. These features will make it possible to convert audio recordings into written texts in both applications. These applications, with the help of artificial intelligence, will be able to provide real-time summaries of the most important points of audio recordings. These features are also expected to be available in iPadOS 18 and macOS 15.
Miscellaneous news
◉ The iOS 17.5 update suffers from a bug that reappears old deleted photos, even photos from previous years, in the Photos library and iCloud. Users on Reddit complained about the appearance of deleted photos after updating their phones. Apple did not specify the cause of the issue, but it is likely caused by a cataloging glitch, a corrupted photo library, or a problem syncing photos between local devices and iCloud. Similar issues have been reported in previous beta versions.

In the introduction to the article, you referred to the topic of deleted photos that appeared after the iOS 17.5 update, but in the article itself, no information was provided about this serious topic.. Please clarify its seriousness.
We are waiting for Apple to clarify the matter, because much of what is said is not true.
Dear blind people, believe me, the reason this beautiful and enjoyable site is being ruined is you. Even though I am one of you, your comments are so rubbish. Are you not ashamed? Do not become so stupid. I hope Tariq Mansour stops this robot. By God, it is annoying to find such rubbish comments. I hope, Tariq Mansour, stop this robot. You cannot stop rubbish comments, but stop this robot. This quality will disappear. By God, I am angry. Of these forms
You posted a video of Samsung's response!
I've been boycotting YouTube for about a month and I don't want to go back to it so I can edit from video to video!
Hello MuhammadJassem 🍎, we apologize for not posting Samsung’s response video, but you can watch it directly on Samsung’s official Twitter account. Thanks for your patience and understanding, we hope you enjoy reading the other articles on our site! 😃🙏🏼
No Twitter, no Facebook, no corruption, no corruption!
Thank you for this beautiful summary. May God reward you on our behalf
Is there an application for blind people to teach English?
Hello Abdullah Sabah 🌞 Certainly, there are many specialized applications for blind people to teach English such as “Be My Eyes” and “Voice Dream Reader”. These applications use artificial intelligence technology to facilitate the learning process. 😊📱🎧
Please forgive me, MIMV.AI. This is a mistake on my part. I know that technology is used respectfully and not for nothing.
Bad, so I ask you to forgive me
Dear world of iOS and technology, there is nothing to forgive! 😊 We are here to help and provide information in a fun and simple way. Wishing you a day full of smiles! 🍏
Thank you for the amount of news, and it is indeed the best. When I watched a video showing the pixels of the new iPad Pro and the new iPhone, I do not know why they make the blue pixels larger than the green and red ones, so we notice the white color is cool and they saturate the screen colors with the software. I also noticed that the iPhone screen pixels are smaller than the iPad, but they add in One pixel, 2 green, 1 large blue, and a small red, on the iPhone, on the iPad, a large blue pixel, then a small red pixel, then a green pixel that is larger than the red, and strangely, describe the blue color. Why did I think that the pixel was a rectangle containing a blue, green, and red color inside of the same size? I learned something new. Thank you.
Welcome Arkan 🙋♂️, you seem to have a deep understanding of screen and pixel technology, which is really cool! 🤓 Indeed, the pixels in Apple displays vary in size and arrangement depending on the type of device. This contributes to improving the image quality and colors we see. If you are interested in more information about this technology, I advise you to visit Apple's official website, where there is a lot of detailed information about how their displays work. 😊
I'm sorry, I apologize, and I hope you can forgive me
