Apple’s delayed Siri rebuild is moving into developer testing on June 8, 2026. The new Siri AI combines screen awareness, personal context, web answers, and app actions across Apple’s operating systems.

Researchers from Calif teamed with Anthropic's Mythos Preview to develop the first public macOS kernel memory corruption exploit bypassing Apple M5's Memory Integrity Enforcement — in just five days. Apple spent five years building what they broke in a week.

Apple is planning an "Extensions" feature for iOS 27 that lets users choose a preferred third-party AI — including Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude — to power Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground, marking the company's most open AI ecosystem move yet.

A Show HN post about Apfel cleared 513 points and 117 comments during this April 4, 2026 crawl, highlighting a Swift tool that turns Apple's on-device foundation model into a CLI, chat interface, and OpenAI-compatible local server on Apple Silicon.

Apple launched new MacBook Pro models featuring the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, delivering up to 4x AI performance improvement over the previous generation. The M5 Max packs 614GB/s memory bandwidth and Neural Accelerators built into every GPU core.

Researchers reverse-engineered Apple's M4 Neural Engine, discovering it's a graph execution engine rather than a traditional processor, exposing hidden APIs that bypass CoreML, and revealing that Apple's '38 TOPS' spec is misleading.

A developer with a Mac Mini M4 used Claude to reverse engineer Apple's private Neural Engine APIs, bypassed CoreML, and successfully trained a 110M parameter Microgpt model entirely on the ANE — opening new possibilities for NPU-based AI training.

Apple released the first iOS 26.4 developer beta on February 17 without the expected Google Gemini-powered Siri improvements, citing response latency and query processing issues during internal testing.

Anthropic says Xcode 26.3 now includes native integration with the Claude Agent SDK, bringing Claude Code capabilities directly into Apple’s IDE. The update expands from turn-by-turn assistance to longer-running autonomous coding workflows.
