Apple’s iOS 17 will stop autocorrecting swear words with machine learning

If you have ever typed a four-letter expletive word on your iPhone and seen it replaced by a duck emoji, you might be happy to hear that Apple is changing its autocorrect feature. The company announced at its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday that its upcoming iOS 17 software will use a new machine learning technology to make autocorrect more accurate and personalized. And yes, it won't autocorrect *that* word anymore.

Samsung’s ‘Fan Edition’ smartphone, the Galaxy S23 FE, will reportedly launch in selected markets in Q3 2023, according to SamMobile. The device will supposedly have a wider release in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024, but the exact regions are still unknown. The Galaxy S23 FE will reportedly feature the same Exynos 2200 chip and AMD-powered Xclipse 920 GPU as the Galaxy S22 series, even in the United States. This means, the S23 FE will have a nearly two-year-old processor when it debuts, which may not be ideal for performance and battery life, especially compared to Qualcomm’s high-end chipsets.

The S23 FE will supposedly sport a 50-megapixel primary camera, an upgrade from the 12-megapixel sensor used in the previous FE models. The device will come in 128GB and 256GB storage options with 8GB of RAM. It will also have a 4,500mAh battery with likely 25W fast charging support. While the Galaxy S23 FE is still months away from launch, Samsung is expected to unveil its next-generation foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5, in late July or early August.

The end of legacy plug-ins for the Mail app on the Mac has come

Apple’s MailKit framework, introduced in macOS Monterey in 2021, allowing developers to create modern and secure extensions for the Mail app on the Mac. These extensions can block content, perform actions on messages, enhance security, and more. However, this also meant legacy Mail app plug-ins weren't going to work with a future macOS release. And it seems that time has come. 

AltStore confirmed with Apple at WWDC last week that macOS Sonoma, which will launch later this year, does not support plug-ins and only supports MailKit-based extensions. MailKit extensions are more secure than plug-ins. However, they also have less functionality. So, some plug-ins may not be able to become extensions. First beta of the Mail app in macOS Sonoma does not allow legacy plug-ins to run already.
