Ah no worries. It’s not like they used it to advertise the iPhone 16 series last year…

Personally, I think Apple really soured it's opportunity to be the leader in this space. They had the vision with Siri in 2011 but really did squander it.

Have you heard of MobileMe?

Siri has ALWAYS been way behind Google in voice recognition. Embarrassing and I've thought many times about going back to Google phones because of it and had hope, but once again the improvements they talk about EVERY year are BS!

And the lovely dialog asking if it's ok to go to Chat GPT, essentially admitting that Siri don't yet got da goods.
For Crying out loud Tim you run a 3.54 Trillion Dollar Company! Hire some bloody LLM Coders!!
Also instead of "Amazing Things in The Pipeline." How about Amazing Things Now that Just Work!

If this was going to be executed like anything Apple Intelligence so far, I’m glad they pushed it out to iOS 19.
Seems like Contextual Siri is going to rely a lot on developer participation to be successful so I’m okay with waiting for better support amongst the developer community

Maybe they don't have anything figured out yet. They are probably looking at how others do AI (Google Gemini?) and trying to add new "features" to that which take away things. I tried asking Siri many times from far away, and most of the time is "look it up when you unlock the phone, or send the info to your phone". That's why I asked far away, so as not to touch the phone. Ridiculous.

Jobs shipped MobileMe.
Leopard was also publicly delayed (twice!) by nearly a year due to the iPhone taking up more software development resources than planned.

io 19 is now going to be about cleaning up the house and getting ready for AI / Personal Context in iOS 20.
We wanted to celebrate 20 years of iOS with something special, so we brought Personal Context for the first time on any mobile, and only to iOS devices.

The stock price says otherwise.

At least AirPower ended up as vaporware.
Whereas this project is never going to be canned, as they’ve no choice now except to pursue to save corporate face and squeeze out some gimped version of AI Siri to force feed the masses. May as well rebrand it to FOMO at this point.

Push notifications were delayed in entire year under Jobs.
Announced in June 2008 for a September 2008 release, never released, never mentioned, no delay announced…
We’re brought back up in June 2009 as a new feature of 3.0, despite already being announced a year ago and deadline completely missed with no comment.
Evidence:
Apple Misses September Deadline for 'Push' Notifications
Macworld correctly notes that Apple has missed their deadline for a September release of background Push notifications for the iPhone. At WWDC,...

Or, how about this, does anyone remember the white iPhone 4?
Announced in June 2010, didn’t ship until… April 2011.

That’s what I’ve thought for months. Siri is working the way Siri was designed to, ten years ago. If they want to make an AI personal digital assistant, they need to start over with a clean sheet of paper. Trying to scab it onto Siri is just never going to work well.

Well, Tim Cook is alive and Steve Jobs is not so there’s a problem right there. Let the man rest and it’s time to move on from Steve Jobs “wouldn’t have” nonsense

So Gurman was right about it being delayed, but he obviously didn't know the full story. If 18.4 is due for general release is April, then whatever 18.5 was planning would be lucky to get GR before WWDC, so they just push it down the road for iOS 19. Probably nothing in the 19.0 beta either. Bet it is post-fall before we see any sign of these features.
