Apple Intelligence notification summaries are, in my view, one of the early killer AI features. But theyre not without their flaws, as the BBC has continued highlighting via several new examples today. Here are the latest Apple Intelligence errors with news alerts.BBC News highlights ongoing Apple Intelligence errorsLast month, the BBC publicly aired its grievances with Apple over its new AI notification summary feature.Added in iOS 18.1, the feature allows Apple Intelligence to summarize a notifications info rather than providing the actual content as written.Apple Intelligence is currently available in beta, so Apple says you should expect mistakes and report them so the system can continually be improved.The BBC is taking that message to heart. The December example involved AI claiming, via a summarized BBC News alert, that Luigi Mangione had shot himself. This was entirely untrue.Now today, the BBCs Imran Rahman-Jones has published several more examples of Apple Intelligence errors its users have reported (via AppleInsider).A news summary from Apple falsely claimed darts player Luke Littler won the PDC World Championship before he has even played in the final.The incorrect summary was written by artificial intelligence (AI) and is based on a BBC story about Littler winning the tournament semi-final on Thursday night.Within hours, another AI notification summary falsely told some BBC Sport app users that Tennis great Rafael Nadal had come out as gay.There are undoubtedly countless more examples users have seen, so I wouldnt be surprised if stories like this continue to become more common.9to5Macs TakeNotification summaries are prone to mistakes for all kinds of apps, but understandably they can be especially problematic when summarizing breaking news.Summarizing the contents of what is already a summary seems a bit unnecessary in the first place, so I wonder if Apples ultimate remedy will be disabling AI summaries for news apps by default.Do you think these Apple Intelligence errors are a serious issue?

A perfectly organized cooking area may seem like a myth, but it's never entirely out of reach. Smart storage and some savvy kitchen organization ideas can maximize efficiency and even save you precious meal prep time.Organizing kitchen cabinets by adjusting the shelves and using shelf risers takes patience, but being able to grab a dinner plate without moving the salad plates makes life so much easier, says Katie McMenamin Sabo, organization expert and co-founder of Pixies Did It in Cleveland, Ohio and New York City.Creating designated zones is what helps Shea McGee, home decor expert and founder at Studio McGee, keep the space organized. Shell sector off a prep zone near utensils and cutting boards and bundle dish soap, towels and sponges within arms reach of a cleaning station. By grouping items by function, the kitchen flows effortlessly, and everything feels intentional and easy to find, McGee tells AD.To help you free up pantries, kitchen cabinets, and other small spaces, we spoke with interior designers and organization experts about kitchen organization ideas that wont bog you down. Here are some step-by-step storage ideas and tips to help get you therealong with products that will make opening kitchen cabinets a dream.Step 1: Declutter the kitchenRemove packagingYoull be shocked at how much space all the boxes and bags of grain take up in your cabinets. Sorting food into airtight containers will clear shelving space, especially if youre a Costco fan and buy in bulk. Look for stackable storage containers and refill them after every grocery trip.Bentgo Pantry Airtight Food Storage Containers (10-Piece Set)Stackable storage containers can transform chaotic shelves into neat rows of pantry items.Designate spotsAll of our experts agree that creating zones and stations is crucial to having order in a kitchen. After all, knowing where napkins and towels belong makes it easier to keep them there. Geometric holders fit on countertops as seamlessly as they do on a dining table.Pottery Barn Tava Handwoven Napkin HolderA pretty rattan napkin holder sends a message that your kitchen is curated.Recycle old manuals and menusMany instruction manuals can be found online, and restaurant menus change too often to rely on a pamphlet from 2018. Recycle those papers after youve bookmarked the links or downloaded the files you need. If the menu is more nostalgic than usefulsay, a menu from the pizza place you and your partner loved in collegeit should be framed or otherwise displayed outside of a kitchen drawer anyway.Framebridge Georgetown Antique Fluted Gold FrameThis frame has all of the right touches to permanently house your heirloom ephemera.Take important files out of the kitchenWorking from home often becomes working from the kitchen table, but that isnt where you should be storing any important paperwork, like bills, neighborhood notices, or critical forms. Store those in any other room that isnt as prone to spills, liquids, and messes, and free up your kitchen counters or table. At the very least, pick up a file folder that will keep documents safe from spillage.Leather FolderA high-quality file folder will ensure that you know where your most important bits are at all times.Establish a needs-to-go bowlEvery trip to Whole Foods Market is another opportunity to see a slew of Amazon-approved sauces, snacks, and spices. But condiments and other fun foods can become a nightmare for pantry organization if you end up with a bunch of unopened or half-used snacks that arent on your usual rotation (looking at you, last three handfuls of Veggie Straws). Choose a bowl for the countertop and decree that everything in it has to be eaten up ASAP before anything new is bought.

Crafted in the Turkish city of Denizli, these plush bath towels are made of soft and downy 100% Turkish cotton and come in over 10 rich color options (were partial to the green!). The quality feels luxurious and stays rich to the touch over time, as one buyer notes in their review: They feel like towels from a posh hotel, they have worn well, looking as good now as the day we bought them. Another reviewer echoes the longevity of the towels, pointing out how the fibers dont ball up and that the seams hold steady through regular use.Other reviewers praise their size. Clocking in at a slightly oversized 27" x 54", this set of luxe Turkish towels pushes the real estate just over the edge into extra-large territory. One buyer wrote that its the optimal balance of big enough to swaddle yourself in post-shower, but not so big that they swallow you up.Best Budget Bath Towels: American Soft Linen Bath TowelsAmazonNashia BakerAmerican Soft Linen 100% Cotton Turkish Bath Towels (Set of 4)SpecsFive star reviews: 46,500+Size: Bath Towels: 27" x 54" inchesAbsorbency: 600 GSMUpsides & DownsidesUpsides: Typically on sale, available in 20 colors, plush feelDownsides: Might notice some discoloration over time with washesIve been using American Soft Linen bath towels for the last year, and let me tell you, they are the real deal, says AD senior commerce editor Nashia Baker. I bought the four-piece bath towel set in gray, and I immediately noticed how soft the towels felt as soon as I took them out of the packaging. Id recommend these for daily use, as theyre highly absorbent and come in 20 colors to choose from to match your bathroom design. These towels are made of 100% cotton for a plush feel, and theyre Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified and made without any harmful chemicals, so those with sensitive skin can also rest easy.But dont just take our word for it. Washed well, and did not bleed, another reviewer adds. Used it and it is very soft and absorbent. Longtwo of us could wrap up in it. But, not so heavy that it was uncomfortable. I LIKE IT. Available for nearly 40% off, nows the time to shop these Amazon bath towels.Best Ultra Soft Bath Towels: White Classic Luxury Cotton Bath TowelsAmazonBlake BakkilaWhite Classic Luxury Cotton Bath TowelsSpecsFive-star reviews: 8,000+Size: 27" x 54"Absorbency: 700 GSMUpsides & DownsidesUpsides: Solid price point, High-quality feel, 14 different colors availableDownsides: Not as fluffy as some expectedThese luxury bath towels are Oeko-Tex certified and made from high-quality combed cotton, with that double-stitch edge we favor. My husbandand I registered for a set of luxury bath towels ahead of our September 2022 wedding, and experts say to swap them after two years, says AD contributor Blake Bakilla. With this deadlinein mind, and no wedding registry to lean on this time around, we ultimately decided to trust the thousands of happy reviewersabout these under-$50 best-sellers. We were surprised to see that these affordable towels were just as fluffy as our original set, and they've remainedplush after several washes.Perhaps the softest bath sheets on this list, their super-plush, luxurious feel also has other reviewers sold. One described their super-soft warmth as a calm to my perpetual existential crisis, while another compared them to luxury five-star hotel types of towels. And you can't really go wrong with basic white, can you?Best Luxury Bath Towels: Texere Organic Cotton Luxury Bath TowelsTexere Organic Cotton 4-Piece Luxury Bath Towel SetSpecsFive-star reviews: 500+Size: 58" x 13"Absorbency: 700 GSMUpsides & DownsidesUpsides: Unique patterns, super soft, absorbentDownsides: More expensive than other top picksIf you're looking for a little something more in terms of design, check out this loop terry pattern. It's available in more than 10 colors, Oeko-Tex certified, and you can choose between a diamond pattern (pictured) or a cable weave. Both patterns feature a low-twist terry cloth made of 100% organic cotton and a twill hem. They're a little pricier than the other towels on this list, but if you're looking for a specific aesthetic and this fits the bill, they're not too much of a splurge.Best Waffle Weave Bath Towels: Cozy Earth Waffle Bath Towel BundleCozy Earth Waffle Bath SheetsSpecsFive-star reviews: 70+ on Amazon and Cozy Earth's siteSize: 58" x 30"Absorbency: 600 GSMUpsides & DownsidesUpsides: Quick-drying, soft, aesthetically pleasing patternDownsides: Pricier than mostOur contributor Megan Wahn uses these bath towels and notes that they are a great all-around pick, especially because of their absorbency and versatility. The absorbency of the towel honestly felt abstract to me until I dunked a corner of it in a bowl of water to test how well it soaked up water, Wahn says. I could literally see as the parts of the towel that were not submerged soaked up the water, and it made me realize just how well this cotton could mop up liquid.Best Everyday Bath Towels: Brooklinen Super-Plush Turkish Cotton Bath TowelsBrooklinen Super-Plush Turkish Cotton Bath Towels (Set of 2)SpecsFive-star reviews: 34+ on Amazon, 2,400+ on Brooklinen's siteSize: 58" x 30"Absorbency: 550 GSMUpsides & DownsidesUpsides: Soft yet lightweight, held up well after several washes, larger than mostDownsides: Not the most absorbentAnother editor's pick coming at you! You might know Brooklinen for their legendary bed sheets, but they also make top-of-the-line bath towels from Oeko-Tex certified Turkish cotton that come in seven subtle shades. Now, onto the review. These are made from 100% Turkish cotton and feel very soft but not heavy, says Katherine McLaughlin, digital features editor. Id describe their plushness as overall average, but Brooklinen does have an extra plush option. I have the towels in white, so it really feels and looks like a towel you might find in a hotel.Best Patterned Bath Towels: Marimekko Unikko Terry Cotton Bath TowelMarimekko Unikko Terry Cotton Bath TowelSpecsFive-star reviews: 72Size: 59" x 28"Absorbency: 531 GSMUpsides & DownsidesUpsides: Energetic, playful designs in muted colorways and bolder hues, absorbent terry backing that gets softer with successive washesDownsides: May be too loud (in design) and thin (in fabric) for some shoppersMarimekkos graphic florals are an iconic way to dress up the bathroom. The cheery colorways (pink, red, beige, charcoal, and dark blue) are definite mood-lifters and wrapping up in one post-shower feels heavenly. Our associate commerce director Lori Keong vouches that the towels are on the thinner side but still absorbent, and that the plushy terry fabric feels exceptionally soft on skin. The patterns are ideal for anyone who doesnt like to dry off with boring towels. And there are also washcloths and hand towels, in case youre a fan of matching sets (though playing with different colors could be fun too, just saying).Oh, and just be sure to use the proper washing instructions, as one five-star reviewer found out the hard way. I made the huge mistake of washing the whole set (four towels) for the first time with a detergent that had fabric softener combined with it. I was soooooo disappointed when I took them out of the washing machine to find my towels [pilling all over.] I bought this towel (again) and washed it for the first time using a fabric strengthening detergent with cellulase enzymes. What a difference!6 Other Bath Towels on Amazon to Check OutCasa Copenhagen Ecstatic Towel SetSpecsFive-star reviews: 600+Size: 55" x 27"Absorbency: 600 GSMA classic striped design straddles that gray area between pattern! and ho-hum solid color. If you want something with a hint of personality thats not too polarizing, this super-plush towel set comes with two washcloths, two mid-size towels, and a pair of larger bath towels. The quality is fantastic, the drying time is no longer than [usual], and absorbency is great as long as you dont use fabric softener, says one reviewer. Every color Ive ordered has been spot on, and I have not noticed any real color fading after multiple washes. Sounds like these would have a nice, long life as your guest room go-tos.Tommy Bahama Bath Towel SetSpecsFive-star reviews: 300+Size: 54" x 30"We love waffle-textured cotton towels because theyre super absorbent and add some subtle pattern play into your bathroom. These Oeko-Tex Certified towels topped the list for many reviewers, but one in particular found a new perfect match: I read through hundreds of towel reviews until my head was spinning. I finally just bit the bullet and bought these, along with four other brands. These are tied for first place! the shopper exclaimed. In the end, these Tommy Bahama ones end up trumping some Brooklinen towels in the mix with their thick but not too thick texture.Bagno Milano Turkish Bath TowelsSpecsFive-star reviews: 1,700+Size: 57" x 27"Vibrant green can be just the pop of color a minimalist white space or nature-inspired powder room needs. This quick-drying, thick towel set feels downright decadent thanks to 100% Turkish cotton thats woven together using a spinning technology that results in an extra-plush finished product. They also offer a bit of a choose your own adventure design-wise, according to one reviewer, who said, The design is very modern and these look great hung up in the bathroomthe pattern is a little bit different on the other side so you can choose which look you like best (for decorative purposes). The shopper added that despite washing these countless times on a regular spin cycle, theyve held up well over the years with minimal wear and tear.Superior Egyptian Cotton 6-Piece Towel SetSpecsFive-star reviews: 3,000+Size: 52" x 30"Absorbency: 600 GSMA set of good quality white towels can be tough to come by, believe it or not. Each set comes with two hand towels, two face towels, and two bath sheets, all constructed with a durable and highly absorbent terry loop design. And if youre looking for a pop of color, this set comes in 14 other hues. Wow, I bought these towels because they were cheap and we have a towel-destroying parrot in the house. I wasn't expecting them to be so soft and fluffy and fabulous. Theres another cheap brand of towels I usually buy, but I skipped them to try these because theyre ivory and I am so glad I did, says one five-star reviewer. These are soooo fluffy, but theyre still absorbent.Utopia Towels Luxurious Jumbo Bath TowelsSpecsFive-star reviews: 35,000+Size: 70" x 35"Absorbency: 600 GSMIf you're of the bigger is better mindset, these are the ring-spun cotton towels for you. These large bath towels are the biggest on this list by far. In fact, they're not even bath towels, but bath sheets and live up to their jumbo name. Bought these for my 6'4" hubby because he can never wrap typical towels around himself comfortably. He absolutely loves them! one reviewer says. I honestly will probably replace all the towels with these eventually because even my kid loves how cozy they are. Available in 19 colors and made of plush viscose, you could use these at home or bring them to the beach in a pinch if needed.Sticky Toffee Cotton Turkish TowelSpecsFive-star reviews: 200+Size: 65" x 35"Theres a reason you see all of your most design-enthusiast friends packing a closet full of Turkish cotton towels. Theyre great for the bathroom, they make great beach blankets, and they stand up to pool chlorine. This towel has a dual design of sorts, as wellone side has a terry cloth texture for quicker drying. And on that note: Dries in [half] the time on the towel rack, says one five-star reviewer. Takes up less space in washer and dryer and dries quickly. Large and absorbent. Took a while to get used to a non-plush towel, but worth it.How We Chose These TowelsTo decide which bath towels were ideal for a wide range of shoppers, we considered a number of factors, below:
