As per MacRumours, these innovations will be available on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and any model within the iPhone 16 lineup.

With the new iOS 18, Apple is expanding the Emergency SOS via satellite feature to introduce Messages via satellite. This feature will let you send texts even when you don’t have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

    This means that when you are in an area with no signal, your iPhone will automatically prompt you to connect to the nearest satellite directly from the Messages app. With the new Messages via satellite feature, you can send and receive texts, emojis, and even Tapbacks over both iMessage and SMS, ensuring conversations are end-to-end encrypted and keeping you safe.

    This feature will probably be available on iPhone 14 or higher models later. However, Apple did not specify whether there will be a cost for Messages via satellite, though Emergency SOS via satellite remains free for iPhone 14 users for three years. Moreover, the company has stated they plan to charge for satellite service, but no pricing has been unveiled. The iPhone 15 models also come with two free years of satellite access.

    It is important to note that the introduction of Messages via Satellite feature is a part of Apple’s broader strategy to enhance the iPhone’s utility in all kinds of environments. At Apple’s WWDC 2024 event, the game mode also comes to the ‌iPhone‌ for the first time.

    At Apple’s WWDC 2024 mega event, a new and dynamic feature has been introduced with the iOS 18 update. If you are wearing the second generation of AirPods Pro, you’ll be able to interact with Siri by nodding or shaking your head. So, if you don’t want to answer a phone call, you can simply shake your head to do so. 

    Moreover, if you need to be quiet because the baby is sleeping, or your partner is on an important phone call, you can keep Siri working without saying a word. Hence, you can command Siri to ignore the phone call by shaking your head. This feature can be very useful for people who are very busy and don’t have time to check their phones repeatedly. With this feature, they can easily ignore unnecessary calls without wasting their time.

    Notably, the tech giant Apple is branding this as a “new era” for its smart assistant Siri, which was launched 13 years ago. The Cupertino-based tech giant says that Siri will now have more richer language-understanding capabilities, making it more contextually relevant and personal. Apple Intelligence will also allow Siri to take several new actions across Apple and third-party apps.

  • Elon Musk Threatens To Ban iPhones At His Companies Over ChatGPT Integration |

    New Delhi: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has threatened to ban iPhones from all his companies over the integration of ChatGPT into iPhones and other Apple devices. 

    “If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. That is an unacceptable security violation,” Musk posted on X.

    In a series of tweets, Musk explains the reason behind banning iPhones in his company for the usage of OpenAI

    It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy!
