iPhone 15 series is slated to launch later this year, with four variants — the standard iPhone 15 , the iPhone 15 Plus , the iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which could debut as the 'Ultra' model this year. While Apple never puts out specifications for its forthcoming series of flagship smartphones before they are released, there have been various leaks and reports regarding the handsets in recent weeks. A pair of new sources have revealed some important details about the series' Pro versions. According to a MacRumors report , Apple intends to return to a two-button design for the iPhone 15 Pro models — both the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max — rather than the one unified volume button, that was previously reported to feature on Apple's upcoming flagship phones. The unified volume button was originally intended for solid-state technology, but Apple has reportedly decided to go with the older design now that solid-state buttons have been delayed, t

Amazon.com's cloud computing division on Thursday released a suite of technologies aimed at helping other companies develop their own chatbots and image-generation services backed by artificial intelligence.  Microsoft and Alphabet are adding AI chatbots to consumer products like their search engines, but they are also eying another huge market: selling the underlying technology to other companies via their cloud operations.  Amazon Web Services ( AWS ), the world's biggest cloud computing provider, on Thursday jumped into that race with a suite of its own proprietary AI technologies, but it is taking a different approach.  AWS will offer a service called Bedrock that lets businesses customize what are called foundation models - the core AI technologies that do things like respond to queries with human-like text or generate images from a prompt - with their own data to create a unique model. ChatGPT creator OpenAI , for example, offers a similar service, letting custome

Songwriter James Blake's most recent album, Wind Down, plays in my ears on my way to meet Oleg Stavitsky, the co-founder of Berlin-based audio-technology company Endel. As sunshine turns to rain, the melancholic, piano-led ambient tracks echo my mood. That may not be a coincidence, says Stavitsky, pointing to the album's credits where Endel is cited alongside Blake as co-creator of the music. While Wind Down carries Blake's name and face, and was mixed from his ingredients — he provided individual “stem” tracks featuring drumbeats and melodies — Endel's technology generated the final product. Its sound engine, trained on thousands of in-house stems, creates personalized “soundscapes” for listeners by adjusting to externalities such as listeners' heart rates, the temperature or the time of day. Stavitsky cites Brian Eno's “generative music” as an inspiration, with humans building a framework that machines can then arrange and rearrange. If music AI 's Turin
