Apple Acquisition Hints at Upgraded Calendar App on iOS 19 or Beyond

Apple secretly acquired Mayday Labs, a Canadian AI startup, in April 2024. The acquisition was revealed by a European Commission listing, not widely publicized initially. Mayday Labs developed an AI-powered scheduling app for Apple devices. The app managed calendars, tasks, and scheduling, learning user preferences. The app automatically scheduled events and tasks for optimal times. Mayday Labs' technology included automatic rescheduling and collaborative scheduling features. The acquired app was shut down shortly after Apple took over the company. Apple could integrate Mayday's AI features into its Calendar app, potentially under Apple Intelligence. The acquisition aligns with Apple's ongoing AI investments and integration of existing apps. The European Commission's listing highlighted other Apple acquisitions, many focused on AI.
