Freecloud All this investment isn’t just focused on voice and messaging. Operators also recognize that as demand for mobile connectivity increases, it becomes essential to find ways to offload some of this activity to alternative networks.

How to turn off Apple Intelligence on your iPhone
It’s getting increasingly difficult to avoid AI when you open up your phone or laptop — as soon as I started this article in Google Docs, I was immediately offered some AI assistance to write it (which I didn’t take).

Zuckerberg trash talks Apple in interview with Joe Rogan
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg thinks Apple “[hasn’t] really invented anything great in a while” and that it has been coasting off of its past success. “Steve Jobs invented the iPhone and now they’re just kind of sitting on it 20 years later,” he said this week.

So you want to manage Apple devices without using MDM? Here’s how. – Computerworld
MDM and Apple Business Manager (or Apple Business Essentials) allow for zero-touch deployment.
