On November 19, 2024, the Strait Macintosh User Group looked at the first pieces of Apple Intelligence and new capabilities of a wave of software and hardware introductions in September and October.
After a lengthy list of product introductions in September and October, Apple now has new versions of operating systems on all their devices (Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple TV, HomePods, VIsionPro, Apple Watch, AirPods) plus new versions of a whole bunch of devices (iMacs, MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch). While the initial operating systems just hinted at new capabilities, late October brought the first bit of Apple Intelligence to Messages, Mail, Safari, Siri, Photos, and other applications. Plus: Apple released an update to the AirPod Pro 2 that allows it to a) conduct a hearing test and b) serve as a clinical-grade hearing aid.
