Apple Continues Removing iOS 18 Siri Personal Context References After Delay

So what progress did Apple make to get behind in software compared to their competitors. Getting behind with their mobile phones? And seeing their shares dip big time:

Have you benched that against the DOW? You may have noticed the markets are down.

Are you surprised it’s all down? It will sink even further as it should. If there is a leader who’s seeking chaos and disruption it’s only good to see this happening.

For Apple it’s nice to see even shareholders lost their trust in their disastrous, visionless output.

Tim Cook has about a ration of about 10 to 1 in bad to good things he’s done for Apple.

A McDonalds fry cook would’ve taken Apple to the trillion dollar market cap mark with Steve’s products eventually.

i'm going to wager that this is not even slightly true

I guess a class action lawsuit against APPL for false advertising will be in order.

Wow, that didn't even take so long: https://www.macrumors.com/2025/03/20/apple-intelligence-siri-lawsuit/

Well deserved anyways.

iPhone 16: Built for Apple Intelligence.
Apple Intelligence: Not yet built.

I have noticed the RAM increase for the pro models this year (rumored, iPhone 17 series), even if it is built, it won't be for iPhone 15 Pro and 16 users.

I don't think it's a memory limitation. It's an issue of compute power - a larger, more complex model will simply need to run on the Neural Engine longer, meaning it'll take longer to generate a response in addition to consuming more battery.

Siri becomes much less useful if a response takes 45 seconds and eats 5% of your battery.

I think Apple dug its own grave when it tightly associated privacy with its brand. The idea of customizable AI with affordable resources can only be achieved through cloud services, which may require users to subscribe to certain services to balance the costs. This goes against Apple's software team's 'run locally to preserve privacy' mentality.

What's more, what gave Apple the confidence to run an 8GB distilled LLM model with an additional 2GB of RAM (compared to the iPhone 15/14 Pro's 6GB of RAM) and still expect acceptable performance for user interactions, without constantly querying online for more developed LLM models, like Apple's proposed private cloud or third-party services such as ChatGPT?

Apple, overly cautious with RAM and basic storage options, has always added RAM and storage only when absolutely necessary, typically driven by hardware upgrades like an additional camera or achieving specific features. But with AI, it's not as simple as slapping on a '16-core neural engine' and 'extra 2GB RAM' and hoping it makes a difference. Even Samsung has upgraded the base model's RAM from 8GB to 12GB just to handle its Galaxy AI, and that's not even relying solely on local processing. An extra 4GB of RAM is significant, but Samsung can't guarantee that it will be enough for the long-term demands of AI. So what makes Apple think that its extra 2GB of RAM will result in AI performance that’s way better—as the ads suggest—than the competition?
