Cursed Apple feature RETURNS months after massive backlash that forced it to be scrapped from every single iPhone
APPLE has revived a controversial AI feature that was once scrapped for feeding iPhone owners fake news. The tech giant released the beta version of its iOS 26 iPhone update this week, which includes the contentious notification summaries feature. 1 Notification summaries used Apple Intelligence - the company's own AI software - to summarise notifications from news apps. It was first rolled out in late 2024. However, it was swiftly disabled on iPhones following widespread complaint from media outlets such as the BBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post. Several AI summaries of BBC news stories were given false headlines, including that Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had committed suicide. Other summaries falsely claimed that Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal had come out as gay and that Luke Littler had won the PDC World Darts Championship before it even began. The AI-generated summaries were pushed as iPhone notifications with the logo of the reporting news outlet - making it look like they were coming from within the organisation's app and not via AI. The BBC told Apple at the time that the issue should be "urgently" addressed. "These AI summarisations by Apple do not reflect – and in some cases completely contradict – the original BBC content," the news outlet said in a statement in late December. "It is critical that Apple urgently addresses these issues as the accuracy of our news is essential in maintaining trust." Outlets and press groups warned that the feature was not ready and that AI-generated errors were feeding misinformation. Apple reveals 'home of future' with virtual decorations So Apple pulled the feature, vowing to improve it. The feature has since returned - with some changes. Upon installing the new update, users of compatible iPhones will be asked to enable or disable three broad categories of notifications: those for News & Entertainment apps, for Communication & Social apps, and for all other apps. Once News & Entertainment notification summaries are enabled, Apple issues a big red disclaimer to users, pointing out that "summarisation may change the meaning of the original headlines". The notifications also get a special "summarised by Apple Intelligence" caption to further distinguish them from regular, unadulterated notifications. The disclaimer makes it clear that users should expect incorrect summaries from time to time - rather than guaranteeing that summaries will always be correct. AI-summarised notifications will be in italicised text, alongside a small icon indicating it is an Apple summary, and not an official news bulletin. It's worth noting that this feature, alongside other Apple Intelligence-powered features, will only appear on select devices. Not all iPhones are compatible with Apple Intelligence. Apple Intelligence is only available on the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. iPhone tricks to try today Here are some of the best...

Zverev works with tennis great Nadal ahead of hard court season
Alexander Zverev feels that working with tennis legend Rafael Nadal and his uncle Toni has given him a boost for the upcoming hard court tournaments and the US Open. "It very beautiful, very good week. Obviously with a lot of help from Toni and from Rafa as well" Zverev said in a video posted on Tuesday on X by the Rafael Nadal Academy, where he has been training. "It was fantastic seeing the two of them again. I enjoyed my time, I'm ready to go to the United States now," he said. After a shocking first-round exit at Wimbledon last month, Zverev is the top favourite at the Canadian Open, which starts on Sunday, after Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic pulled out of the competition. The US Open, which is the final Grand Slam of the year, starts on August 24.

Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon title puts him in Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal company
The post Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon title puts him in Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal company appeared first on ClutchPoints. In the latest chapter of the best rivalry of the next generation of men's tennis, Jannik Sinner got his revenge on Carlos Alcaraz. Just five weeks after Alcaraz beat Sinner in the final of the French Open, Sinner won the Wimbledon title with a four-set victory over the Spaniard on Sunday on Centre Court. Sinner now has four major titles overall and two this season. He currently holds three of the last four major titles after winning the U.S. Open last fall and the Australian Open in January. The 23-year old is the fifth player ever to hold three of the four titles at the same time before the age of 24, joining a group headlined by legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer according to OptaAce. 'Jannik Sinner is now one of five players aged 23 or under in the Open Era to simultaneously hold three Men's Singles titles at Grand Slams, along with Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal,' OptaAct wrote on X, formerly Twitter. This is Sinner's first major title outside of the hard courts of Australia and New York, so he is showing off the same surface versatility that he flashed by making finals on the clay both in Rome and Paris earlier this year. Of course, Sinner is a long way from matching the careers of Federer and Nadal, who have won 20 and 22 Grand Slams respectively. The Italian is far away from those numbers, but he is in good company to start his career. The World No. 1 will now extend his reign at the top of the rankings and will head to the U.S. Open as the defending champion and the heavy favorite to win after knocking off Taylor Fritz in the final in 2024. Alcaraz also has a U.S. Open title of his own back in 2022, so tennis fans will hope that they get a third major final of the season between the two in the Big Apple in September.

Report: Zverev looking at Nadal family to boost career
German tennis player Alexander and Spain's Rafael Nadal pose for a photo before during the 2024 French Open tennis tournament (Roland-Garros). Alexander Zverev could reportedly seek help from the Nadal family in his bid to overcome problems on and off the court, according to Sky TV. Frank Molter/dpa Alexander Zverev could reportedly seek help from the Nadal family in his bid to overcome problems on and off the court, according to Sky TV. Sky commentator Paul Häuser said on platform X that Toni Nadal could become coach and his nephew, Rafael Nadal, a mentor of sorts for the German. Advertisement Toni Nadal coached Rafael Nadal to the majority of his 22 grand slam titles, among them 14 alone at the French Open. Rafael Nadal ended his playing career last year. Sky posted videos showing Zverev training with Toni Nadal at Rafael Nadal's tennis academy on the island of Mallorca. Häuser later said there was no agreement yet and that both sides were in the process of determining through the sessions whether such a co-operation would work out. World number three Zverev, 28, is yet to win a grand slam titles, having lost the three finals at the majors he appeared in. He spoke of mental health problems after a first-round exit at Wimbledon two weeks ago and he was considering seeking professional help. He said he planned changes and hoped to have some answers when he plans to return to action at the end of the month in Toronto. Advertisement Zverev has mainly been coached by his father, Alexander Zverev Sr, and his brother Mischa is also close to him as a manager and adviser. Former German great Boris Becker has suggested that Zverev makes changes in his environment in order to improve. "The father and brother have done a great job but it wasn't good enough for the final step. You get the impression that he plays in the same way against top players and hopes for a good result," Becker said. Zverev dismissed this but Becker also said that all external coaches left after a rather short period, such as Juan Carlos Ferrero, Ivan Lendl, David Ferrer or Sergi Bruguera.

Rafael Nadal Sends Personal Message to Amanda Anisimova Amid Historic Wimbledon Loss
Rafael Nadal Sends Personal Message to Amanda Anisimova Amid Historic Wimbledon Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Amanda Anisimova found herself making history at Wimbledon 2025 following her Ladies' Singles Final match against number eight seed, Iga Swiatek — but not for the reason she had hoped. Advertisement Anisimova, 23, was unable to win a single game against Swiatek during Saturday's finals on Centre Court, resulting in a historic 6-0 6-0 loss against the Pol. The championship match lasted only 57 minutes. It was the first time since 1911 that the Wimbledon ladies' champion was decided by that score. It was the young American's first Grand Slam appearance, and despite the rare "double bagel" score, a phrase used to describe a 6-0 set in tennis because the "0" resembles the shape of a bagel, Anisimova handled the loss with poise and grace. Amanda Anisimova reaches for a forehand at The Championships Wimbledon 2025.© Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Sport, after all, is as much about the process as it is about the outcome, and there are positives to take away even in the face of historic defeat. Former world No. 1 tennis superstar, Rafael Nadal, knows this better than most, and sent Anisimova a personal message via X. Advertisement "Be proud, @AnisimovaAmanda! Grand Slam finalist! 👏🏻👏🏻" While Nadal, 39, has racked up 92 ATP singles titles, including 22 Grand Slams, he has also had his share of losses, some more painful to remember than others. The Spaniard is beloved not only for his mastery on the court, but for his positive attitude and strong mental fortitude in both good times and bad. During a 2012 interview with HuffPost UK Blogger Victoria Coren, Nadal was asked about the skill and level of character it takes to deal with the ups and downs of winning and losing. "It's something I think I've shown in my career — you have to accept both losing and winning well," Nadal responded. "I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can't celebrate a lot when you have big victories, and you cannot get too down when you're losing as in a few days you'll be in the next tournament and you'll have to be ready with that." Advertisement Anisimova has much to be proud of from her Wimbledon run. Not only did she make it to the finals, but she beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals to get there. Finishing runner-up at a Grand Slam is no small feat, and like Nadal's wise reminder, the next tournament is right around the corner — another moment to meet. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
