ChatGPT is very hot these days. If you’ve been browsing social media, you’ve probably been overwhelmed by all the news.

Jony Ive Designed the Emblem for the Coronation of the King of England
The British royal family recently unveiled the design of the crest for the coronation of King Charles III, which will take place in May. According to the royal website, the badge was created by Apple’s former chief design officer Jony Ive and the team at his design firm LoveFrom. The design pays homage to Charles III’s love of the natural world, incorporating plants representative of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom, which together form the shape of the crown, with a color palette derived from the British flag, Jony Ive said. The shape is taken from nature, gentle and modest, and together they pay tribute to the joy and meaning of the coronation occasion.

Inure doesn’t intend to compete with them head-on in terms of functionality, but rather to take the spotlight on the silky smooth operating experience.
