Apple Delays Apple Intelligence Siri Features

Imagine marketing a phone last September 2024 because of Apple Intelligence and then it not even being ready until 2026.
This is a clown show at Apple. Do they even hire good SWEs anymore. Why can't they figure out AI?

Maybe Apple should get rid of Federighi and bring back Forstall while they're at it.
For all of Apple's "innovation", they have consistently underwhelmed under Tim Cook.
Siri was a disaster from the start and never got much better. They probably would have been better off purchasing ChatGPT instead of trying to develop something in house. I have always wondered why their software department is so bad.

Edit: as pointed out later in this thread, my statement below is not completely correct, please disregard.
Original post: For those that dont know, Amazon is using Anthropic's Claude for the AI part, not something developed in house. So its not really fair comparing something leveraging an existing proven tech with apple trying to do it in-house.
That being said, apple is missing the mark and embarrassing itself.

Apple, once a leader in everything. Now what a sad state that they’re in. I thought that Apple would die sooner after iOS 7. But finally here we are seeing the start of the death of unique and great company. I’d say Steve Jobs and the team he picked was truly the magic of the company. Apple is a company run by finance people.. this is no longer a company with any artists and dreamers inside. All they can do now is switching chips and colors. It’s funny that they fired Scott Forstall but Tim Cook doesn’t want to fire his Superman for massive undertaking called software development now. And.. what’s the mission of the design team? They’ve done nothing in years. Seriously, what are they doing. What’s Apple done can be done by one person. Project Titan is dead, Vision Pro is a flop, etc… here we go again pre-Jobs era. Fight me on this. It’s just true.
The best part of this is that Apple marketed iPhone 16 and everything onward that these new devices were 'built for Apple Intelligence, from the ground up' despite the fact that Apple Intelligence never existed in the first place. And now what is Apple going to show off at WWDC? More features and promises Apple isn't going to be able to keep?
Its absolutely embarrassing how bad this has been botched. Apple went all in on marketing and selling Apple Intelligence on something that never even existed in the first place. Now you are telling me all the people that bought into iPhone 16 are going to have to wait another year for features the phone they bought was built for? What a joke.

1) It's baad enough they are missing IOS 18 altogether, as promised, but it sounds like they won't have it ready for IOS 19, 19.1, or 19.2.
2) I didn't get an iPhone 16 for the AI that apple promised, but I feel sorry for those that did.

Apple lost a lot of time with project Titan and other losers. While the patents may be profitable seems like they’re not going into Apple products
This is not the innovative Apple we all know. This is the Apple of Procrastination

Apple and services is like a Venezuelan telenovela, just when you think you have seen the last drama, a new one pops in
I don’t understand how a company with so much money and resources, and brought Siri to the masses over a decade ago could fall so behind on this. And didn’t it preview all these features in summer? What went wrong?
All the arrow slinging and purchasing powers on open source being sorted out i guess.
Patent Lawyers got a whiff of it all. $$$$

No right and they sold us an iPhone 16 with this promise, lawsuits coming. A trillion dollar company can’t get it right, we want Gemini live level of voice recognitions. Siri is so bad it doesn’t work half the time. How is every other company doing it now and Apple can’t fix Siri. Tim Cook needs to go
What gives you the confidence it happens that way & not what you say, only late?
no Apple you sold me a phone saying it’s built for the ground up for AI which was a lie. Also they said AI will be a big part of it which is a lie and now what was promised isn’t happening, I want money back from this phone
It’s becoming more obvious that Apple Intelligence exists because AI is the latest thing Wall Street is infatuated with and Tim Cook didn’t want a repeat of 2013 when investors were freaking out because Apple didn’t sell a large phone. But Wall Street doesn’t even care that Apple Intelligence is mediocre and features are being delayed. The stock price is up 2% today.
They didn’t actually preview these features. They just showed pre-rendered clips, polished to perfection. Another consequence of these pre-recorded Apple events, no more wonky live demos on stage.
Those Bella Ramsey Apple Intelligence commercials should never have been aired and open Apple up to some legal and shareholder issues. Would not be surprised if everyone who purchased a 16-series phone gets some kind of payout in a couple years.
