Apple Intelligence has been largely underwhelming to most people thus far. That said, I believe that a killer use case has arrived, and we’re vastly underestimating its long-term impact. That feature is Live Translation. It is easy to dismiss it as a travel gimmick, but I think it could become one of the most important business tools Apple has ever shipped. When AirPods can handle real-time translation with nothing more than an iPhone in your pocket, the way global teams collaborate starts to look very different.

Here's my top 10 Apple and non-Apple tech – what's yours? | Photo of my home office desk setup

When it comes to favorite technology, Apple gets a double win from me. My MacBook Pro is my single most important piece of tech, and the Apple ecosystem is absolutely core to my approach to a whole range of things, across both work and leisure.

Apple Watch and Mac mini no longer advertised as carbon neutral, here’s why

Starting with the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple made a big deal about it being a carbon neutral product. This was due to a combination of an ~80% reduction in emissions, with Apple offering high-quality carbon offsets to make up what’s left. The company also followed suit with the new Mac mini.

However, Apple no longer advertises any Apple Watch or Mac mini as carbon neutral. Why? Well, this change in marketing does not reflect a change in policy. Apple remains committed to its ‘Apple 2030’ carbon neutral target as ever, but a ruling in the EU means Apple now has to avoid using the ‘carbon neutral’ term in relation to its products …
