I'm specifically interested in comprehensive news coverage about Apple. The fields I focus on include, but are not limited to, strategic changes, product releases, organizational changes, product feature changes, user growth, revenue, new patent, AI hardware, etc. Importantly, DO NOT include any news that is unrelated to Apple or purely focused on product promotions. The goal is to get a well-rounded view of Apple.
Apple will release iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 to the public on Monday, September 16, after over three months of beta testing. The update includes over 250 new features and changes, including Apple Intelligence, new Home Screen and Control Center customization options, a redesigned Photos app, and enhancements to the Messages app. Apple Intelligence will not be available until iOS 18.1, which will be released in October, and requires an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model.

A local college has managed over 1000 Apple devices for 14+ years without experiencing activation lock issues. 90% of devices were set up in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system, which allows bypassing activation lock. For older devices not set up in MDM, proof of purchase and receipt are required to unlock devices purchased directly from Apple. Second-hand Apple products' unlock status is the buyer's responsibility.

Researchers have exposed a vulnerability in Apple's Vision Pro, which uses eye tracking to identify when someone is typing. The GAZEploit attack, created by a team of researchers, can identify when someone is typing by analyzing the 3D avatar they are sharing. The researchers trained a recurrent neural network with recordings of 30 people's avatars while they completed typing tasks. The attack works by identifying patterns in the user's gaze while typing, which are more common during typing than other activities.
