Siri integration with Google and Nvidia

Welcome to Night to Fy Back Daily for Thursday, june fourth, twenty twenty six. I'm your host, Chance Miller We are supported this week by card poointers Leading off today, iPhone Ultra is reportedly launching this fall, and a new leak says it will feature a tech innovation that's been over fifteen years inside Apple Liquid metal A new rumor posted to Weibo says that Apple has chosen a liquid metal hinge for the foldable device ort says that research and development and production are progressing rapidly and prototypes have already been sent to Apple's partners for testing. Reporting about a liquid metal hinge has been around for a long time in the Apple Rumor universe But it's the kind of technology that, much like foldable screens, has provided years of rumors but little substance. Apple first licensed this liquid metal technology back in twenty ten, but other than using it for SIM card tools The company hasn't done much with it Liquid Metal was rumored for years to help Apple build a thinner and lighter iPhone But that never actually came to fruition This time around, for a foldable iPhone, it sounds like Apple has settled on the technology Liquid metal is a type of metal alloy that doesn't have a crystalline atomic structure like traditional metals Because of this, it has higher strength and greater elasticity than most conventional alloys. Both of those, of course, bode well for a device that folds and unfolds on a regular basis has excellent wear resistance and high precision manufacturing so complex shapes can be molded rather than machined. All of that explains why Apple has chosen it for the iPhone fold. withith one of its key focuses for the device, being ensuring that the hinge is as durable as possible and can withstand thousands of unfold and fold maneuvers. It can also help Apple with its goal of ensuring that there's no visible crease down the middle of the iPhone foold's display We expect Apple to spend a lot of time touting the engineering behind the iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra when it's officially announced in September Next up today, analyst Ming i Quo has new details on Apple's roadmap for future quote unquote vision products Last June,Qo said that Apple had seven head mounted wearables in various stages of developments of those products the M fiveI Vision Pro has already shipped. of the remaining six, Quono says that only two of those products are in active development There's the often rumored pair of AI glasses without a display similar to Meta's Raybands which are expected to ship in twenty twenty seven Ale is also continuing its work on AR or mixed reality smart glasses with built in screens, which are now planned for twenty twenty nine. According to Quoe, incoming Apple CEO John Turnis is the one who scaled back this roadmap inside the company previous reporting has indicated that Turnis was skeptical of AppleVision Pro And this reporting from Qo seems to suggest that Turnus has still not been convinced about how big a player these type of wearable products should be in Apple's future The rumor from Quo also contradicts reporting from Mark German, who said Apple is still working on a slimmer and lighter version of Apple Vision Pro for some point in the future have to wait and see who proves to be correct But as it stands right now, Qo has historically been more accurate when it comes to Apple's vision roadmap It's clear that Apple's brandans have changed multiple times throughout the last several years We are sponsored this week by Card Pointers, the best way to earn more from your credit cards every day With card pointers, most users save over seven hundred and fifty dollars per year.

The report also said that Apple recently approved the use of a privacy technology from NVidDIia to be used in that setting which suggested that Apple would use NVIidia AI chips. for at least some of its computing needs This new report from the information has details on how Apple plans to integrate NVIidia chips into its plans. ort says Apple will tap into Google's fleet of Nvidia's Blackwell B two hundred data center chips. will enable Nvidia's confidential compute feature that encrypts data as it's being processed on the chips The NVvidia Blackwell B two hundred is one of the company's flagship data center GPUs meant for large scale AI training and inference Nvidia positions Blackwell as a platform for running and training very large AI models, including up to trillion parameter models with major improvements compared to its predecessors in inference, memory bandwidth, and multi GPU scaling The confidential compompute feature, meanwhile, is a hardware based security system that protects data while it's actively being processed by NVidia GPU's NVidia says that the feature preserves the confidentiality and integrity of AI models deployed on GPUs like the Blackwell allowing sensitive AI workloads to run securely at scale with the near native performance even in shared or cloud environments The information explains that this decision by Apple diverges from its long running strategy of attempting to control all of the critical ingredients to its products and adds that it's unclear how Apple's previously launched server system private cloud compute will fit into the upcoming Siri launch It's an example, like we've seen multiple times. of Apple changing its AI approach under new leadership of Craig Federigi and Mike Rockwell seemingly emphasizing the ability to actually ship features to the customers even if it means using technology from other companies like Google or NvidDia.
