The delay doesn’t bother me as much as the disingenuous and deceptive marketing does. sold iPhone 16 as an AI phone. Camera control is also poorly executed.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Delays Apple Intelligence Siri Features

It's on everyone else too who bought the iPhone 16 under the premise of a promised feature set that won't be delivered upon.
No, we're not. You can easily find out the answer to your question yourself. A simple Google search would get you there, but also - rather ironically - AI would be extremely good at explaining what point or benefits of using are.
It's a very good at explaining anything, tailored to the level of the person seeking the explanation.
Camera control team breathing a sigh of relief because the AI team took the heat this year. Any other year if that was the only headline feature it would have been ripped to shreds. -as hipped- it's awful and I hate it on my 16 PM
That's mic drop for anyone defending Apple. Jobs would NOT have approved of this nonsense and lack of focus.
Oh. So then why are you directly comparing Jobs and Cook? Suddenly it's ''well, it was a different company''.
The Jobs worship is just absurd at this point.
This is what really bugs me about about this delay. I'm not invested enough in Apple Intelligence to care one way or the other when it lands. But there are some features I'd really like to see in iOS (well, more iPadOS, really...) and now I can look forward to them NOT happening for at least another year because AI sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
Those of us that have been around long enough to remember have a more complete view of history. I think it's pretty clear that modern Apple with its infatuation on hitting every price point and declining software quality is a far cry from a strong personality guiding the company and delaying things that when they inevitably came out were amazing. There's no soul in modern Apple because it's largely a reflection on their current stable of executives
You guys are so funny man. You can put a little offering in front of the Jobs shrine in your garden tonight.
''Cook is bad because of mistakes and delays''
''Jobs also made mistakes and things got delayed''
''Er....well.....it was a different company then.''
That's also not an argument. It's an excuse so you can handwave this strange cult of personality around Jobs.
Have a great day.
At this point, just give ChatGPT special app permissions to interact with the OS (more than the half-baked implementation we have now).
ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode is everything Siri ought to be. ChatGPT in general has replaced Google and Siri for me in all areas where it can feasibly do so. All I use Siri for, now, are the things that the ChatGPT app doesn't have access to: alarms, reminders, sending texts (with lots of wrong words), etc.
EDIT: I should add, ChatGPT app now has "Tasks," which is decent enough for simple reminders. So even that function is halfway taken over by ChatGPT for me.
I would also add "asking Siri to play music on my HomePods" to the list of things I still rely on it for. And painfully so, as half the time it completely butchers the song, album, or artist that I ask for.

I mean, it does just work at keeping your private data private.
Otherwise, any Tom, Dick or Harriet could walk up and ask various things of your personal iPhone…
Well, duh. It was more of a rhetorical point regarding how little I (and many others) rely on Siri for anything knowledge or voice related these days.
