Apple Facing False Advertising Lawsuit Over Apple Intelligence Delay

[ayephoner]

And, don't get me wrong, I do agree that Apple Intelligence just isn't all that much to be excited about. And, that said, I think missing the boat on the newest Siri upgrade is a serious black eye for Apple.

But, Apple Intelligence exists. It largely does what it should, and the new Siri being late just isn't that big of a deal (and in no way is false advertising). This law suit is laughable at best.

Fact.

Boil it down to this and you’re left with Apple phones/devices/services and LINUX…not a bad world ‘tall…oh and micro…meh…but yeah drunk posting, love the hilarity/spirit…now if only google had their own nation to be in and couldn’t leave etc and thus not see my posts saying to stay away from them. Truly don’t wanna hurt feelings…moreover, in such a world, then ppl would have true choice to partake or not…

This is just completely false. The vast majority of Apple Intelligence features are available and working as they should. Here is a list:

18.1:

• Writing Tools: Use systemwide tools to proofread, rewrite, or reformat your text.

• Natural language search in Photos: Find just the right photos and videos with search that actually works.
• Notification summaries: Receive more actionable and helpful notifications thanks to AI summaries.
• Siri enhancements: Enjoy the first version of Apple’s new and improved Siri, with new product knowledge, more resilient request handling, new look and feel, more natural voice, the ability to type to Siri, and more.
• Priority messages in Mail: AI will put the most important email front and center.
• Smart Reply in Mail and Messages: Use suggested replies that are better than ever.
• Summaries in Mail and Messages: Get thread summaries that are more informative than a simple excerpt.
• Reduce Interruptions Focus: Stay undistracted, except when something’s actually important.
• Intelligent Breakthrough & Silencing in Focus: Get the benefit of your existing Focus modes, but with AI that only allows important alerts through.

18.2:

• Genmoji: Make your own custom emoji for use in any app.
• ChatGPT in Siri: Siri can tap into ChatGPT’s knowledge, and you can even query ChatGPT directly.
• Image Playground: Create original AI images in animation or illustration styles.
• Visual intelligence: Use the iPhone’s Camera Control or Action button to get relevant info from your physical environment.
• Image Wand: Turn your sketches or notes into beautiful illustrations in the Notes app.
• Compose with ChatGPT: OpenAI’s assistant can draft original text from scratch inside any app.
• Custom rewrites: Apple’s writing tools let you ‘Describe your change’ for custom AI rewrites.

18.3:

• Visual intelligence: Add an event to Calendar from a poster or flyer
• Visual intelligence: Easily identify plants and animals

18.4 (coming in April, updates should include):

• Priority Notifications: Notifications that may be especially important are shown in a separate, more prominent section on the Lock Screen.
• Image Playground: Sketch style offers a third way to visualize your original image creations, joining Animation and Illustration.
• Vision Pro support: visionOS 2.4, which will release alongside iOS 18.4 in April, brings Apple Intelligence support to Vision Pro for the first time.

People just like to find something to complain about because they are cheap and do not really think before the make purchase decisions and rely on marking and advertising to make purchase decisions.

Apple devices do not run the copycat kernel Linux, they run off of Darwin which when combined with macOS is a certified UNIX. Android uses the cheap imitation Unix kernel of Linux.

Feel free to exclude yourself from the class action if it comes to that.
I run iOS betas and I bought the 16 Pro so I could run the intelligence… So there’s at least one of us 😉.
Otherwise, I was plenty happy with my 13 Pro and would have kept using that.

Good luck, let me know when you get your $1.32 back

It doesn’t matter. That was the sales proposition. That’s how product marketing works. They pitched it as the main reason to buy it. End of story.

No they didn’t pitch it as the MAIN reason. And I’m not saying they shouldn’t be held responsible for it. But the whole ‘I only bought this phone for that’ is ambulance chasing.
