Streaming service Max will finally be rolling out to Europe later this Spring, replacing HBO Max on the continent. Except for the United Kingdom, that is – the situation on the British Isles is a little complicated.
This news comes straight from a keynote presentation by JB Perette, who is the CEO and President of Global Streaming and Games over at Warner Bros. Discovery. The roll out won’t happen all at once, but in two waves.
On May 21, Max will officially launch in the Nordic countries, the Iberian Peninsula, as well as Central and Eastern Europe. It’s important to mention those regions already have HBO Max available to them so the change is happening there sooner. After that, the service will soon be made available in Poland, the Netherlands, France, and Belgium.
It’s unknown exactly when the platform will go live in the last four countries, however it could happen in the summer. As Variety points out, the 2024 Olympic Games will kick off in Paris on July 26. Plus, “Max will be the only platform to stream all live coverage of the [games]”. So if they want to have most of Europe watching the Olympics, it’ll have to come out before then.
Pricing
Pricing for subscription plans, at this moment, is unknown. Prices weren’t revealed during Perette’s presentation, although there is some information out there. According to Variety, Max in Europe will offer a cheap basic plan with ads, and a premium plan that’ll allow viewers to “stream content in Full HD or 4K on up to four devices simultaneously”. They go on to claim users will be given “up to 100 downloads of content.” As the service becomes available, pricing should become more clear.
On the surface, it seems Max subscribers can download up to 100 individual movies and shows from the platform. It is possible that Variety is actually talking about users being allowed to download hundreds of movies and shows. We believe it’s the former, but again, the wording isn’t super clear.
Going back to the subscriptions, the basic plan will first launch in nine countries including Denmark, France, Norway, and Romania. Pricing for everything “will vary from country to country”. More will be revealed within the coming months.

UK availability
Max’s presence in the United Kingdom depends on the business deal Warner Bros. Discovery has with the British telecommunications company Sky.
As Deadline explains, Sky is the “exclusive distributor of most HBO content” in the UK due to a “lucrative licensing deal”. The contract doesn’t expire until 2026, so it’s entirely possible people there will have to wait another two years before they can get something resembling Max.
Sky has special “life of series agreements” for certain content so they can continue streaming them even if the deal changes. Of course, Warner Bros. and Sky can alter their contract within the next two years, but whether or not that’ll happen remains to be seen.
We have entered a new era. Until recently, AI has largely been operating in the background – quietly automating processes and improving performance. Yet the unprecedented adoption curve of generative AI that we saw in 2023 represents a widespread change in how humans interact with technology. This fundamental shift will have a lasting impact on how we live and work.
If AI is adopted to its full potential, a study of the economic potential of generative artificial intelligence estimated that the technology could add more than $4 trillion dollars annually to the global economy, and add £31 billion in GDP to the UK economy over the next decade. These figures are in addition to the extra $11 trillion that nongenerative AI and other forms of automation are forecast to contribute, globally.
While caution is justified, so is excitement – because with great change, comes great opportunity.
Neil Sawyer
Managing Director at HP UK&I.
A new era for the PC
Most people have only interacted with generative AI through web browsers and the cloud – which have intrinsic reliability, speed, and privacy challenges that accompany any online-only, open access and corporate owned platforms. Put generative AI on the PC though, and users can get all the benefits, without the drawbacks.
This is why AI is changing the role of the personal computer as dramatically and fundamentally as the internet did – redefining what a PC is and does – because the AI PC will empower more people to become creators of technology, rather than just consumers of it.
We’re working closely with our software partners to redesign PC architecture for an AI enabled world that people will get to experience on our new models as soon as this year. We are capitalizing on our engineering strengths to create powerful new machines optimized for running local AI models which can still leverage the hybrid cloud as well as local inferencing to work offline. Local inferencing and data processing also means less latency, and opportunities for stronger data privacy and security as well as improved energy efficiency and lower cost of access.
Enterprise grade security and privacy will enable personalized generative AI solutions – turning your PC into an intelligent personal companion. One you can trust to keep your information safe, while doing tasks for you, because on-device AI can access all the same, specific emails, presentations, reports, and spreadsheets that you do.

Meanwhile, the work to use AI for improving PC performance and functionality will continue to accelerate. Peripheral solutions, for example, have led the industry by integrating machine learning technology to improve the hybrid work experience, including everything from noise reduction and voice enhancement to AI-powered cameras that automatically optimize framing, focus and lighting for better video calls.
Advancing AI will make endpoint security ever more vital
AI PCs will enable greater privacy and data security by offering AI applications the ability to reduce the risks associated with moving data to the cloud. But since on-device AI will be trained with sensitive user data, endpoints will become a bigger and more valuable target for threat actors. It is therefore even more vital that organizations invest in advanced endpoint security.
For example, new to market security offerings include protection against zero-day exploits and AI-powered social engineering attacks by containing risky activities and wrapping around applications containing sensitive data, creating virtual machines that are isolated from the PC operating system.
A new era for human creativity
New research is already demonstrating the positive effects of AI on knowledge worker productivity and quality, across a range of tasks that make up people’s daily work, from creativity and analytical thinking to writing proficiency, and persuasiveness. Use of ChatGPT-4 significantly increased performance, boosting speed by over 25%, human-rated performance by over 40%, and task completion by over 12%.
Now imagine the possible use cases when your Personal Companion integrates your internal company and personalized working data, while still helping you quickly analyze vast volumes of public information, to combine the best and most relevant of both. Whether you’re looking for customer insights, conducting financial assessments or creating a presentation – everything can be done faster, more comprehensively, and privately, with the power of local AI and efficient, real-time delivery.
Just as AI is being used to improve hardware performance, leading software vendors are developing their applications to harness local AI processing capabilities too. Whether you use Adobe Premiere Pro for graphics, Audacity for audio editing, Microsoft Teams and Zoom for collaboration or the Microsoft Office suite for productivity – they could all work faster and provide more personalized support, thanks to local inferencing.
Two thirds (63%) of young creatives in the UK say they are embracing AI to assist in the creative processes in music making – adopting it as a tool to helping them come up with new ideas faster and expand their vocabulary to finish songs more quickly. Conversational, natural language AI combined with ‘low-code’ development platforms will help anyone develop apps with minimal hand-coding, and turn their ideas into new working solutions for their organization, or for themselves. This new interface and local, enterprise AI will enable anyone to talk to their PC, and build an algorithm or web tool, and then publish it as a service.
We also foresee new roles and opportunities for data scientists and AI developers, as well as huge demand for Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) – because every company will eventually have its own private and tailored generative AI model for employees to use securely. PCs will remain as the primary access point and on-ramp for this incredible new technology.
Driving business transformation
We have never been as excited about the future of the personal computer and the power of AI to reinvent the PC as we know it. And of course, we are using this technology in our own work, leveraging the latest in generative AI and machine learning to drive our own perpetual digital transformation.
In this new era, to fulfil the potential of AI to improve the way we work and live, organizations must focus on leveraging these new solutions to continually enhance the customer and employee experiences we offer.
With the right ethical and strategic approach, this is a revolution that can benefit everyone.

During its recent Checkup 2024 event, Google offered an important update on Fitbit Labs giving us an idea when the highly-anticipated Fitbit AI-powered assistant will launch.
The tech giant was coy about the official launch of its Fitbit chatbot, merely stating it’ll come out later this. Additionally, it’ll see a limited release available only to the small group of Android users currently enrolled in the program on the Fitbit app.
Why are we so excited about this? The chatbot is a fitness assistant that’ll answer all of your burning questions about your personal Fitbit data in a casual way. It’s supposed to replicate what it’s like to talk to a personal trainer. Google’s tech is said to deliver “personalized insights” on how your fitness journey is going and coach you on things you can do to improve.
The Fitbit AI will also create charts and “help [people] understand [their] own data better.” As an example, chatbot responses are going to display Fitbit’s Active Zone Minutes alongside an average sleep score.
(Image credit: Google/Fitbit)
All of this information was hinted at during the AI’s initial reveal back in early October, but as we get closer to the launch, Google is filling in some of the gaps. There are still a lot of murky details. We reached out to the company asking if there are plans to include other types of charts to the chatbot and if it could give us an idea on when the AI will officially roll out. We’ll update this story if we get any new info.
If you’re interested in taking the chatbot out for a spin, you can join Fitbit Labs at any time; however, you will need a subscription to Fitbit Premium first.
Google’s Search upgrade
Besides the chatbot, Google also talked about upgrading its search engine to include detailed health information about certain conditions. “Images and diagrams from high quality [online] sources” will be present in search results allowing people to better understand the symptoms they may be feeling. The new visual resources will be rolling out globally to Google Search on mobile within the coming months. No word if a similar feature will arrive on desktop.

Apple news and rumors settled down a bit this week following the launch of the M3 MacBook Air, but there was still plenty to talk about including Apple’s ongoing changes to satisfy the EU’s Digital Markets Act and signs of an upcoming iOS update likely to address some bugs.
We’re also looking forward to new iPad Pro and iPad Air models coming in the next few weeks or so, plus the iPhone 16 lineup later this year, so read on for the latest on these stories and more!
Apple Announces Ability to Download iPhone Apps From Websites in EU
These changes are a result of the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which Apple has strongly opposed but reluctantly complied with.
Apple Preparing iOS 17.4.1 Update for iPhone
Apple is internally testing iOS 17.4.1 for the iPhone, based on evidence of the software update in our website’s logs this week. It is unclear exactly when the update will be released to the public.
Our logs have revealed the existence of several iOS 17 versions before Apple released them, ranging from iOS 17.0.3 to iOS 17.3.1. iOS 17.4.1 should be a minor update that addresses software bugs and/or security vulnerabilities.
2024 iPad Pro: Key Rumors to Be Aware of Ahead of Announcement
Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman expects new iPad Pro and iPad Air models to be released towards the “end of March” or in April. He also expects new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil accessories to be released for iPads simultaneously.
Video Comparison: M3 MacBook Air vs. M3 MacBook Pro
Earlier this month, Apple updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air with its latest-generation M3 chip, Wi-Fi 6E support, and compatibility with two external displays when the laptop’s lid is closed.
While the iPhone 16 lineup is still months away, there are already many rumors about the devices.
This week, we recapped every iPhone 16 rumor that we have heard about so far. Check out our list for an overview of new features and changes expected for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. As usual, the devices are expected to be released in September, alongside iOS 18 and more.
Everything We Know About Apple’s Next-Generation CarPlay
Next-generation CarPlay will have deeper integration with a vehicle’s instrument cluster, climate controls, FM radio, and more. It will also support multiple displays across the dashboard, and offer a variety of personalization options.
MacRumors Newsletter
Each week, we publish an email newsletter like this highlighting the top Apple stories, making it a great way to get a bite-sized recap of the week hitting all of the major topics we’ve covered and tying together related stories for a big-picture view.
The iPhone is Apple’s top-selling product, and it gets an update every year. In 2024, we’re expecting the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro lineup, with an arguably more interesting feature set than we got with the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro.
Capture Button
All four iPhone 16 models are set to get a whole new button, which will be located on the right side of the device below the Power button. In the United States, this is where the mmWave 5G antenna is, so Apple will be shifting that over to the other side.
This addition, which Apple calls the “Capture Button,” will be for taking photos and videos when the iPhone is held in a landscape orientation. It seems aimed specifically at capturing 3D landscape video that will then be viewed on the Apple Vision Pro, but it will also be useful for taking regular video and photos as well.
Rumors suggest the button will be a standard mechanical button like the Power and Volume buttons, but it will support multiple levels of pressure. You’ll be able to press down lightly to focus, and then press down further to snap a picture or start recording. The feel will be similar to a multi-function camera shutter button.
As a bonus, the standard iPhone 16 models will also get the Action Button that was introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, so both the Action Button and Capture Button will be available across the entire lineup.
Display Sizes
Apple has been using 6.1 and 6.7-inch display sizes for all iPhone generations since the 2020 iPhone 12 models, but display sizes are finally set to increase slightly in 2024. The iPhone 16 Pro display is expected to be approximately 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max display will be approximately 6.9 inches.
Screen sizes are bigger because the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be about 3mm taller, and around 1mm wider. Thickness isn’t increasing, but weight will go up just a bit because of size jump.
Unfortunately, the size change will be limited to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max this year, and the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will still measure in at 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, respectively.
Camera Upgrades
Apple has camera changes in store for all of the iPhone 16 models. For the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, there will be a new vertical lens arrangement that does away with the diagonal arrangement Apple has used for the last several years. The change is expected to let the iPhone 16 models capture spatial video, a feature limited to the 15 Pro and Pro Max right now.
The biggest update will be limited to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, though. Apple is upgrading the Ultra Wide camera to 48 megapixels, bringing improved images in lower lighting conditions. The lens is expected to work like the 48-megapixel Wide camera, which uses pixel binning to combine the data from four pixels into one “super pixel” for better image quality.
Since spatial video recording uses both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras, spatial videos will get a boost with the new Pro models.
Apple is also going to bring the 5x Telephoto lens to the iPhone 16 Pro this year, and that’s presumably possible because of those aforementioned size increases. 5X optical zoom is available on the 15 Pro Max right now, but both Pro models will get it in 2024.
Faster 5G
With the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, Apple plans to adopt Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X75 modem chip. Modem chips aren’t often a major feature that we highlight, especially since the transition to 5G, but the X75 will be faster while also using less power.
It offers 10-carrier aggregation for mmWave and 5x carrier aggregation for sub-6GHz. Carrier aggregation improves data speeds, so a higher number equates to lower latency and more data throughput. The modem chip has a second-generation AI processor inside that Qualcomm says will improve speeds, coverage, link robustness, and location accuracy. You might see fewer connection issues in parking garages, elevators, and subways.
The X75 merges the sub-6GHz and mmWave transceivers, so there’s 25 percent less circuit board space used and less power draw. So far, rumors suggest that the X75 will be limited to the Pro models in 2024, with the standard models to continue to use the X70 in the current iPhone 15 lineup.
Along with better 5G, Apple could also bring Wi-Fi 7 to the iPhone 16 Pro models. Wi-Fi 7 supports speeds up to 40Gb/s, and could result in lower latency and more reliable connectivity. As for the iPhone 16, we’re expecting to see an upgrade to Wi-Fi 6E, allowing them to connect to 6GHz networks. The 15 Pro models support Wi-Fi 6E, but the standard iPhone 15 models are limited to Wi-Fi 6.
Generative AI
Apple is focusing on AI in a big way in 2024 as it aims to catch up with Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and other companies that have invested heavily in generative AI. AI is software based, of course, but it needs hardware to support it.
With iOS 18, Apple is rumored to be making some major AI-based improvements and introducing AI across the operating system, and some of the most advanced features might be limited to the iPhone 16 lineup because of the processing power required.
All four iPhone 16 models are expected to get an A18 chip (perhaps A18 Pro for the Pro lineup), and the A18 chips will be built on Apple’s 3-nanometer process for improved performance and efficiency. Right now, the iPhone 15 Pro models use the 3nm A17 Pro, but the iPhone 15 models are using prior-generation A16 chip technology.
Upgrading to a 3-nanometer chip across the iPhone 16 lineup will allow Apple to bring the latest AI features to even its most affordable flagship models, and the A18 is expected to include a faster Neural Engine with “significantly” more cores. Rumors suggest that Apple wants to do AI processing on-device to preserve privacy, and some serious performance is needed to make that possible.
Now that Apple’s Vision Pro spatial computing headset has launched in the United States, when will it become available to buy in other countries? Here’s what we know.
Officially, Apple has said that following the U.S. launch of Apple Vision Pro on February 2, 2024, the device will be coming to more countries later in the year, though the company has so far stopped short of officially revealing which countries and when exactly.
Fortunately, that’s not the final word on the subject. According to insider sources at Apple cited by well-connected Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, the launch of Vision Pro in other countries around the world will not “actually be that much later” than its release in the United States.
Apple is discussing the United Kingdom and Canada as two of the first international markets to get the mixed reality headset by the end of 2024, according to Gurman.
Soon after, Apple is said to be looking at bringing the Vision Pro to the rest of Europe as well as Asia, with Apple engineers working to localize the device for France, Germany, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea.
More recently, code discovered by MacRumors suggests Apple will soon add 12 new languages to the virtual keyboard on the Vision Pro. Right now, the device’s virtual keyboard only supports English (US), which makes sense given that it is only available in the United States.
To bring the Vision Pro to new countries, Apple needs to add support for additional languages. The code indicates the following languages will be added:
Cantonese, Traditional
Chinese, Simplified
English (Australia)
English (Canada)
English (Japan)
English (Singapore)
English (UK)
French (Canada)
French (France)
German (Germany)
Japanese
Korean
It’s likely that these language additions hint at the countries where Apple will launch the Vision Pro next, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK. Hong Kong and Taiwan are also potential candidates.
International Launch in First Half of 2024?
Separately, well-regarded Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple will likely launch its Vision Pro headset outside the United States before Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2024. Kuo bases his prediction on information that suggests Apple plans to share new details about visionOS – the device’s operating system – with developers around the globe at its upcoming developers conference.
Kuo explained that Apple’s reasoning for keeping sales of the Vision Pro exclusive to the United States at first is due to limited supply, a wish to ensure that the sales process goes smoothly before expanding it, and to provide time to modify its software to be suitable for other countries. Once these issues have been resolved, Kuo believes the Vision Pro will go on sale in more countries.
Apple does not anticipate partnering with third-party resellers to offer the Vision Pro until at least 2025, due to the complex supply chain logistics and staff training involved in handling the device and advising customers, according to Gurman.

Apple acquired Canada-based company DarwinAI earlier this year to build out its AI team, reports Bloomberg. DarwinAI created AI technology for inspecting components during the manufacturing process, and it also had a focus on making smaller and more efficient AI systems.
DarwinAI’s website and social media accounts have been taken offline following Apple’s purchase. Dozens of former DarwinAI companies have now joined Apple’s artificial intelligence division. AI researcher Alexander Wong, who helped build DarwinAI, is now a director in Apple’s AI group.
Apple confirmed the acquisition with the statement that it typically gives when questioned about purchases. “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time” but does not discuss its purpose or plans.
In an effort to catch up with Microsoft, Google, and others in the AI market, Apple is working hard to build artificial intelligence features for its next-generation iOS 18 and macOS 15 operating systems.
If Apple wants to be able to rival Microsoft’s Bing, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and other generative AI offerings, it will need to integrate generative AI into a range of products. Apple is testing large language models, and AI features are said to be coming to Siri, Shortcuts, Messages, Apple Music, and more.
Apple is aiming to have AI features run on-device for privacy reasons, and DarwinAI’s efforts to make smaller AI systems could be of use to further that endeavor.
Apple CEO Tim Cookhas promised that Apple will “break new ground” in generative AI in 2024. “We believe it will unlock transformative opportunities for our users,” said Cook.
VideoLAN is working on bringing its popular open source VLC media player to Apple Vision Pro, according to tech newsletter Lowpass.
The non-profit organization said it was currently developing a version for Apple’s spatial computing headset. “We already have a version of VLC running on the Vision Pro,” VideoLAN president Jean-Baptiste Kempf told Lowpass writer Janko Roettgers.
However, one of the reasons the app hasn’t already been released is that the potential user base is still considered too small. “I’m not sure there is any use case yet,” added Kempf.
VLC recently surpassed five billion downloads across desktop and mobile platforms, according to the organization. The cross-platform media player and framework launched 23 years ago as a student project, and continues to attract millions of new users thanks to its support for multiple codecs and its ability to play multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.
Meanwhile, work continues on VLC 4.0. Development has taken longer than anticipated, according to Kempf, with the core of the app being completely rewritten. Recent nightly builds put the focus on content, with the default player window replaced by a view of the user’s library. However, Kempf said that some changes could be reverted before the app’s official release.
Kempf said that VLC may even add access to FAST channels and other ad-supported online media in the future, potentially allowing users to start watching something right away.
VLC 3.0.20 is a free downloaded for Mac from the VideoLAN website.
