Apple's latest wave of beta software recently went live for developers, bringing several new features across Safari, iOS, and watchOS.

Here is what the company shared in a post on X: Schools are in control: They can choose to turn ON one, two, or all of these services individually.The original story is as follows]

Google says it wants to give schools more control over how students use AI. But its proposed solution comes with a rather extraordinary condition: schools that opt to block AI entirely will also lose access to Google Search on student accounts. The conclusion is that schools can say no to Google’s AI, but they may have to give up one of the most fundamental tools students use to learn and research online.
