Apple Intelligence, the companys all-encompassing branding for its AI tools, features and curios, is finally here. Did you think Apple launched this ages ago? It was announced in June, and drip fed to beta testers, first in the developer preview, then the open preview. It was even a big part of the iPhone 16 sales pitch at launch, but Apples newest phones lacked those AI features until now. Arriving as part of Apples updates to iOS, iPadOS and macOS, its not everything teased at WWDC (no making your own emojis for now), but its a tract of new features showing how the company is tackling AI in its software. As well as new proofreading and rewriting tools, theres live transcription for phone calls and Notes audio recordings. Apple Intelligence also adds text summaries for websites, emails and all those transcriptions. Theres also my personal favorite: notification summaries. Well be taking a closer look at what Apple Intelligence is capable of, but broadly (and from our experience testing the preview builds), the additions wont change your smartphone life. Some of them are very useful, while others, like photo editing, fall behind rivals like Google and Samsung.

Apple In time for those new features, Apples new iMac includes new colorways and the latest Apple silicon. The new model has the same display and design as previous models, but theres a new nano-texture glass screen option for a proper splurge. Apple says the M4 inside the new iMac makes the computer 1.7 times faster for daily productivity and up to 2.1 faster for more demanding tasks (i.e. gaming and photo editing) than the M1-powered iteration. The M4 iMac will be available on November 8, starting at the same $1,299 as its predecessor. Continue reading.

The Oregon Trail, which is probably one of the most recognizable computer games for people who grew up in the 80s and 90s, is set to become a movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Apple is developing a live-action film adaption for the game, with Will Speck and Josh Gordon attached to the project as directors and producers. Seeing as the collaborators are known for films like Blades of Glory, The Oregon Trail movie will likely be a comedy rather than a depressing drama about a 19th-century pioneer family dying off one by one due to dysentery and starvation.  The Hollywood Reporter's sources also said that the movie will feature a couple of musical numbers "in the vein of Barbie." Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, known for La La Land and Dear Evan Hansen and who were recently nominated for an Emmy for a number Steve Martin performed in the past season of Only Murders in the Building, will reportedly produce original music for the film. Kenneth and Keith Lucas (Judas and the Black Messiah), along with Max Reisman, are writing the screenplay. It's still very early days for the production, though: There are no actors attached to the project yet, and Apple hasn't even formally announced it.  Originally created by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann and Paul Dillenberger, the original Oregon Trail game was first released in 1971. In the game, you're supposed to buy supplies, hunt for food and travel west at a reasonable pace while trying to keep your caravan your caravan alive. This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/apple-is-reportedly-developing-a-comedy-film-based-on-the-oregon-trail-110022317.html?src=rss
