Apple plans to integrate AI tools into core apps like Safari, Photos and Notes
Apple will unveil a slew of new AI features at its developer conference next month, focusing on tools that ordinary consumers use every day, according to Bloomberg. The core strategy, Project Greymatter, integrates AI tools into core apps like Safari, Photos, and Memos. These features run partially on the device, while high-performance requirements are handled in the cloud, which is powered by the M2 Ultra chip. iOS 18 and macOS 15 will introduce features like voice memo transcription, AI photo retouching, improved Spotlight search, Safari web search improvements, and automatic reply suggestions. The Siri personal assistant will be upgraded based on Apple's own large language model, and Siri on the Apple Watch will also be enhanced.
In addition, Apple is also developing the ability to create custom emojis based on user text and improving the customization of the iPhone home screen (iOS 18 will support app icon customization). Apple emphasized its commitment to privacy, explaining how cloud AI keeps data secure and is in talks with OpenAI to integrate its chatbot.

Friend.tech co-founder Racer hints at leaving Base network, causing FRIEND to fall below $1
According to The Block, the price of Friend.tech fell by more than 20% after its co-founder Racer hinted that he would leave Base. Racer's statement caused market concerns, causing investors to sell their Friend.tech tokens. Friend.tech had previously achieved certain development and user base on the Base platform. According to CoinGecko data, FRIEND is now trading at $0.9697, down 35.0% in 24 hours.
"System Design Bounty: If you can find a way to migrate Friend.tech off of Base without causing major issues for users, and it works well enough that we decide to use it, we will pay you $200,000," Racer said on X. In another post, Racer explained that the Friend.tech team has had a rocky relationship with Base, saying, "Farcaster's investors went crazy trying to discredit us when we launched because they misunderstood what we were doing. They put a lot of pressure on the team and users, and since then our relationship has gone downhill and we have been ostracized from the 'Base community.'" It is worth noting that at some point on Sunday, Racer's post was no longer accessible, and it is unclear whether they deleted their account after the post was published.
In response, Coinbase’s head of Base, Jesse Pollak, admitted that the Friend.tech team felt “isolated and disconnected” from Base and parts of the Ethereum ecosystem. “I would be sad if the team decided to leave Base, but I would respect and support either path — that’s the beauty of a decentralized, on-chain economy,” Pollak wrote.
According to market news, the X account @GCRClassic of the well-known trader GCR was stolen, and the hacker posted a message that he was "bullish and heavily invested in ORDI". Affected by this, the price of ORDI rose from around 38 USDT to 44.5 USDT in the short term and then fell back. The hacker established a position on OKX PERP and Binance SPOT 6 minutes in advance before posting the malicious tweet.
It is reported that GCR is a legendary whale trader who became famous for his public bet of 10 million US dollars with Luna founder Do Kwon. At that time, he believed that the price of Luna would be lower than the current price within a year and successfully short it.
In addition, recently, the X accounts of multiple crypto KOLs/media celebrities were hacked and falsely promoted Meme coins .
