Apple's AI-powered health service is reportedly on life support. This could be good news for those sick of all the subsciptions. In summary: * Macworld reports that Apple's AI-powered health coach service, code-named 'Mulberry,' is facing significant delays and potential cancellation after multiple setbacks. * The ambitious project originally targeted iOS 26, then iOS 27/watchOS 27, and was designed to provide personalized health insights using Apple Watch and Health app data. * Under new leadership from Eddy Cue, some features like data analysis may still integrate into the existing Health app while Apple explores alternative health solutions. A new report from Bloomberg says that the long-in-development subscription health service is on the rocks. The centerpiece of the service, which some have been calling "Health+" was to be an AI wellness and fitness coach, code-named Mulberry. As part of an executive shake-up, with Eddy Cue now heading up Apple's health initiatives after the departure of Jeff Williams last year, the Mulberry AI health coach project has been winding down. Apple has reportedly spent years developing the AI health coach, which would take data from the Health app and connected providers, Apple Watch, and other sources to provide insights and reports about users' health, and also offer actionable recommendations. The service will reportedly use Health app data (from Apple Watch or other sources), new health surveys, and reports from external labs to inform the AI's analysis and recommendations. According to the report, Apple even built a studio in California to produce videos that would explain medical conditions and guide users through wellness plans. The system was originally set to be a part of iOS 26, then got pushed back to a spring release, then bumped again to iOS 27 and watchOS 27 this fall. Now, it seems as if the entire AI health coach project has been put on the back burner, if not scrapped entirely. Services boss Eddy Cue, now in charge of Apple's health efforts, has reportedly told colleagues that "Apple needs to move faster and be more competitive in health," citing features in apps from Ouya and Whoop as more compelling and useful. This could be good news for those with subscription fatigue. The report says that some parts of the project, such as the analysis of Health app data and the video content, could be rolled out this year as regular Health app features. It also mentions that Apple is working on a system to use the iPhone camera for gait analysis. iOS 27 and watchOS 27 are due to be reelased in September, following a preview at WWDC in June.

Apple's cheapest iPad to get Apple Intelligence support at just the right time. Alongside the iPhone 17e, Apple also has a refreshed base model iPad in the works. A new report from Macotakara highlights what we can expect from Apple's update of its cheapest iPad. Apple released the iPad 11, formally known as the iPad (A16), last March. While the A16 chip represented a notable upgrade from the previous model's A14 chip, it wasn't enough for Apple to offer Apple Intelligence support on the device. Apple Silicon Analysis That is set to change this year, though. Macotakara reports that this year's iPad 12 will be powered by the A18 chip, which will enable Apple Intelligence support. It will also have 8GB of RAM, up from the current model's 6GB of RAM. With Apple Intelligence set to get significantly more useful this year, it's good to know Apple is planning to make its cheapest iPad capable of running the features. This includes the more powerful Siri features first announced at WWDC 2024, as well as new chatbot features in iPadOS 27. Other than the boost in RAM and performance, the iPad 12 is expected to be the same as the iPad 11. It will use the same overall design and chassis. Apple is also working on a refreshed iPad Air with the M4 chip, which could launch this spring alongside the iPad (A18). The iPad upgrade I'm most excited for this year, however, is the new iPad mini with OLED, reportedly set to launch later this year. FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. More.
