Ahead of the pre-orders for iPhone 16, Apple released three ads about Apple Intelligence features, highlighting all the great functions you could, technically, take advantage of on your brand-new iPhone. However, none of the features will be available when the iPhone 16 launches next week. More weirdly, one of the ads highlights a feature that won't be available until later next year, most likely around iOS 18.4. That said, all of these ads feature actress Bella Ramsey in different situations, such as meeting someone she doesn't remember, going to a meeting that she didn't read what the briefing was all about, and a little girl's fish funeral. In those situations, Ramsey takes advantage of Apple Intelligence on an iPhone 16 Pro Max to continue the conversation. Here's what Apple highlighted in those ads: More Personal Siri: Siri can understand the context and answer complex queries, such as, "What's the name of the guy I met a couple of months ago at Cafe Grenel?" This feature isn't expected before 2025. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPe8revsg3k Email Summary: Siri can summarize every email. On top of each message, there's a "Summarize" button that highlights what someone sent you. Although it doesn't show in the ad, Siri can also give you custom responses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eJy6QyHaFM Custom Memory Movies: Type or ask Siri to create a movie with photos of a specific person, pet, or place. You don't need to select anything; just ask the personal assistant to do that for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcHUOKPDMFU However, as mentioned above, none of these features will be available when the iPhone 16 is released. Even though there's a way you can take advantage of Apple Intelligence as soon as you get the new iPhone, you should know that the features available will be in beta and only available in American English for now.

A hoard of four Viking Age silver bangles has been unearthed on a mountainside at a farm in Årdal in Hjelmeland municipality, Norway. Each of them are of a different style and in excellent condition. They were found less than eight inches under the surface so close together than they overlapped each other, so there is no question they have not been disturbed since they were buried in the 9th century. “This is a unique find, because we very rarely find such objects exactly where they were placed. As a rule, such valuable objects are discovered on fields that have been plowed, where an object has been completely taken out of its original context. Since the silver hoard has not been moved, it can give us completely new insights into life and society in the Viking Age,” says [lead archaeologist Volker] Demuth. The excavation was initiated when the landowner, farmer Tårn Sigve Schmidt, called in archaeologists to survey the route of a tractor road he was planning to build up the mountain. Archaeologists found evidence of an extensive Viking farm, including dwellings for people and outbuildings for animals. Artifacts discovered include fragments of soapstone pots, rivets, knife blades and whetstones. The silver bangles were found under what was once the floor of a small house. The dwelling is so small and spare that archaeologists believe it probably housed enslaved workers, and there were no other artifacts discovered in the area. The excavation found evidence that the farm was burned down around the time the silver bracelets were buried. The people who lived at the farm may have therefore buried the hoard before they fled an attack, and chosen an unlikely location to deter looters. The bracelets are similar in style to six Viking silver neck rings now in the Archaeological Museum in Stavanger that were discovered in 1769 at another farm in Hjelmeland. They were likely deposited as ritual sacrifices to mark or seal the boundaries of a settlement. They were not associated with a grave, and indeed no silver neck rings have ever been found in a Viking grave. That might suggest another motivation for the burial of the rings. According to Odin’s Law, as recorded in the Heimskringa saga, men were allowed to bring with them to Valhalla everything that was burned on the funeral pyre with them and anything they had personally buried in the ground. The bracelets were not fully excavated at the site, but rather removed in a soil block for micro-excavation in laboratory conditions at the Archaeological Museum of the University of Stavanger. Conservators have x-rayed the block and will take samples of the soil for evidence of any organic material, like a bag or a cloth, that the bracelets were wrapped in before burial. The hoard will be put on display at the museum when study and conservation is complete.
