The Jura Z10 stands alone in the sea of sub-par automatic espresso machines on the market — though not without a few shortcomings of its own. Read on for our thoughts on the Jura Z10 espresso machine.

The iPhone 16 lacks new features and a new AI smartphone is years away, wrote analysts on Sunday. Much of the optimism surrounding Apple this year came from its June announcement of Apple Intelligence, the company's take on artificial intelligence. In Sunday's note, Lee forecasted "flattish volume growth" in the second half of 2024 for iPhone 16 compared to the iPhone 15, and only 2.5% growth in lifecycle volume for the iPhone 16.

As Apple prepares Apple Intelligence to jump into Silicon Valley’s AI race, it’s relying on one of its strongest advantages: Its army of 34 million app developers. IPhone users will get their first taste of Apple Intelligence, the company’s artificial intelligence system, later this month. The company is relying on Apple Intelligence to be the strongest selling point for the iPhone 16, its latest generation of smartphones. That’s something other company’s AI chatbots cannot currently do, and to accomplish this, Apple is beckoning its army of third-party developers to fine tune their apps to collaborate with Apple Intelligence. Another drawback is that Apple Intelligence features will only be available on the latest iPhones, a small subset of the total iPhone user base.
