In Europe, surveys showed that many people misunderstand “carbon neutral” to mean that a company has eliminated its own emissions. And because there’s so much variation in how brands actually make carbon neutral products, EU regulators decided to ban the claims completely.
Apple argues that instead, regulators could require companies to meet a high bar for transparency and accuracy when they call a product carbon neutral. “I think that rather than banning certain terms, it would behoove us all to set high standards and hold people to them,” says Chandler.
The beauty of iPadOS lies in its layered approach. Someone buying their first iPad can still experience that magical simplicity Jobs championed at the product unveiling. Apps open full-screen by default. Touch remains the primary interface. The learning curve stays very gentle. But power users can gradually discover features like true windowed multitasking as their needs grow.
This is Apple fulfilling Jobs’ vision more completely than he could have imagined. He wanted computing to feel natural and accessible to everyone, not just technical experts. Today’s iPad achieves this across a much broader range of tasks than the original could handle. A child can play games and watch cartoons just as easily as a designer can create professional illustrations or a writer can manage complex documents.

The app uses AI to help sort incoming messages automatically. Users can tell the system which types of emails matter most, and it will label and organize them accordingly.
The screencast recording and video-editing app now enables you to exclude ScreenFlow and specific applications from recordings, adds support for recording screen regions, and enables looped and timed recordings.
Passkeys’ biggest flaw right now is that they aren’t exchangeable across password-management systems. I recommend Apple-centric people use the Passwords app to leverage the Safari and iCloud Keychain infrastructure and end-to-end encryption at the moment. If you regularly use Android or Windows, 1Password can manage passkeys across all its supported platforms, so it’s a better choice for now.
The whole industry touts the portability of passkeys without yet offering such a thing. But it’s inevitable, as there’s no lock-in benefit. Finding a secure way to sync or transfer passkeys without introducing security holes that bypass their value is the key (sorry) issue remaining.
The solution that Rogen, Kissack and Goldberg landed on was bringing the editor to the set of “The Studio” every day of principal photography so that he could give notes and “live edit” scenes as they went along. That created a dynamic on set that Rogen said only made “The Studio” better.
The more I read about how movies and television is made, the more I wonder what does the director really do?
