Apple released a haptic trailer for F1, and it's unbelievable
Imagine feeling the action of a Formula One race in the palm of your hand. Apple did just that with an exclusive haptic trailer for F1, the upcoming sports drama premiering at the end of the month. What is a haptic trailer? The trailer puts fans in the driver's seat with Sonny Hayes, played by Brad Pitt. While watching the F1 trailer on an iPhone, the phone will vibrate in sync with the video. For example, Sonny speeds down a straightaway during the trailer. The haptic vibrations will increase to represent the engine's power and speed. Recommended Videos According to Apple, each haptic sequence aligns with the beats and rhythm of the film. This leads to an immersive and unique experience for the viewer. The F1 haptic trailer is available in the Apple TV app and in the App store. All iPhone users need is iOS 18.4 or later. There is nothing additional to download or activate. Sonny Hayes (Pitt) is a once-promising driver in the 1990s whose career nearly came to an end after a tragic accident. Sonny was once dubbed 'the greatest that never was' because of his potential. In the present day, Sonny still races cars, but his F1 dreams have all but disappeared. Sonny's former teammate, Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), offers him the deal of a lifetime. Ruben wants Sonny to come out of retirement and race for his team, Apex Grand Prix (APXGP). Ruben needs a veteran to pair with his hotshot rookie, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Despite having no interest in being a mentor, Sonny reluctantly agrees and returns behind the wheel for one last shot at redemption. Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Kim Bodnia also star. Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski directs F1 from a screenplay written by Ehren Kruger, based on a story the two cowrote. F1 races into theaters and IMAX on June 27.

Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT
When Apple first unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an 'up close image of a hand.' In another instance, a user was unable to receive images of simple descriptions, such as 'old man' or 'flower.' Some people even questioned what the point of the app was, noting that it seemed juvenile when compared to popular AI image generators. (Of course, not everybody dislikes the app; some have described it as being a fun experience). Fast-forward to this year's WWDC, where the tech giant announced that it's going to boost Image Playground with a ChatGPT integration, which should allow for a better, more advanced AI image generation service. With the new ChatGPT integration, users will be able to access more styles that move beyond the emoji-like creations that Image Playground has become known for. Images can be created in the following new styles: Oil Painting, Watercolor, Vector, Anime, and Print. In addition, people will be able to select a new 'Any Style' option that allows them to describe exactly what they want. These new styles will be visible under a banner that reads 'ChatGPT style.' Image Credits:Apple In the past, users were limited to Animation, Illustration, Sketch, and Genmoji styles. Techcrunch event Save $200+ on your TechCrunch All Stage pass Build smarter. Scale faster.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW Apple says that Image Playground will send a user's description to ChatGPT to generate an image. The tech giant notes that it won't share anything with ChatGPT without users' permission. By integrating ChatGPT into Image Playground, Apple is giving the app another shot at attracting users while positioning its AI image creation tool as a more well-rounded competitor to other similar free apps. Plus, it makes sense for Apple to leverage ChatGPT to boost Image Playground, especially since the company has already tapped OpenAI's tools in other ways. Last year, Apple announced that it was bringing ChatGPT to Siri and other first-party apps and capabilities across its operating systems. With Siri, the assistant leverages ChatGPT when it's unable to answer a question or its own or when a user specifically asks Siri to send an inquiry to ChatGPT. Apple has also integrated ChatGPT into system-wide tools like Writing Tools, allowing users to generate, rewrite, and summarize text in apps like Notes and Mail. The updated Image Playground app is expected to launch alongside the release of iOS 26 this fall.

Apple Vibrates iPhones Everywhere With Wild New 'Haptic' Movie Trailer
The rip-roaring new racing film F1: The Movie is blasting into theaters on June 27, but ahead of that, Apple has just released a new kind of movie trailer that makes a strong argument for another sensory dimension of cinema. If you have an Apple iOS device (like an iPhone or certain iPads) you can, as of right now, watch and feel the new "haptic" trailer for F1: The Movie. Designed with something called the "Taptic Engine," the new trailer vibrates your phone at key parts during the trailer, to simulate the feeling of the Formula One racecars. The gimmick might seem silly, but once you open up the new F1 trailer on your phone, it's actually pretty cool. You can click on that trailer right here, or just open up the Apple TV app on your device.F1 tells the story of Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a retired F1 driver who comes back to the sport after a near-fatal crash sidelined him in the 1990s. During his comeback, Sonny is paired with Noah Pearce (Damson Idris), a younger, hot-headed driver who becomes both Sonny's partner and, apparently, rival. The movie also stars Kerry Condon and Javier Bardem. Perhaps most interestingly, F1: The Movie is directed by Top Gun: Maverick maestro Joseph Kosinski. Will the experience of watching F1 in the theater mimic the vibrating, rough-and-tumble feeling of the haptic trailer? That depends. There are 4DX screenings — which include haptic features — of F1 at Regal Theaters around the Vibrates iPhones Everywhere With Wild New 'Haptic' Movie Trailer first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 11, 2025
