Apple doesn’t currently allow iPhone users to change the Side button’s Siri functionality to another assistant, but owners of iPhone 15 Pro and newer models can assign ChatGPT to the Action button instead. Keep reading to learn how.
OpenAI’s free ChatGPT app for iPhone lets you interact with the chatbot using text or voice. What’s more, if you assign voice mode directly to the Action button, you can use it to jump straight into a spoken conversation, giving you quick, handsfree access to a far more capable assistant.

A new study by Apple researchers presents a method that lets an AI model learn one aspect of the structure of brain electrical activity without any annotated data. Here’s how.
PAirwise Relative Shift
In a new study called “Learning the relative composition of EEG signals using pairwise relative shift pretraining”, Apple introduces PARS, which is short for PAirwise Relative Shift.
Current models rely heavily on human-annotated data for brain activity, indicating which segments correspond to Wake, REM, Non-REM1, Non-REM2, and Non-REM3 sleep stages, as well as the start and end locations of seizure events, and so on.

Tech giant Apple has taken India’s antitrust regulator to court, challenging a new law that could expose the company to a colossal fine of up to $38 billion.
The core of the dispute centers on how penalties for anti-competitive behavior are calculated: based on revenue generated only in India, or on the company’s entire global earnings.
Apple has filed a 545-page petition with the Delhi High Court, seeking to have the 2024 amendment to India’s Competition Act declared illegal. The amendment, which came into effect last year, grants the Competition Commission of India (CCI) the authority to use a company’s worldwide turnover when calculating fines.
