Same. Strange that there’s so little mention of a feature baked to new hardware as well.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Intelligence Features Expected to Roll Out in This Order Between iOS 18.1 and iOS 18.4 [Updated]

I don't know why the complaints. Anyone [Public and developer] can install iOS 18.1 beta 4 today and use Apple Intelligence.
Thanks, Apple, for saving me $1200 this year. I’ll keep my iPhone 14 Pro for another year while they roll out and fine tune all Apple Intelligence features and hop on board with iPhone 17 Pro.
The fact that the EU is not allowing AI is actually a bit concerning because the EU is all about user data privacy.
Why are they so concerned about Apple Intelligence? What is going on with our data behind the scenes? I generally trust Apple with my data, but if the EU is fighting against this, it bears some investigation.
I'll keep my 12...
half baked software, now half baked hardware...yet the price is full.
Yeah, I bet a lot of customers will probably not understand the delay and will think their new phones are “broken”.
Can you provide a link to whereApple executives admitted that?
I still can't believe they did this. We were ready to pre-order the 16. But there is no reason to. We'll wait another year. Bummer.
In summary, Steve Jobs created products that made peoples lives easier/better, while Tim Cook created wealth that made peoples lives easier/better.
What cracks me up is many people here believe Apple executives are stupid and just heard about AI a few months or a year ago and are now scrambling to quickly put "something out." Seriously?
When most likely the delay is due to the manner in which Apple will be releasing AI features tailored to having it done on-phone, in a methodology and framework with security features Apple believes are important.
Also... it seems many here believe Apple's view of AI is a finite bundle of features that won't expand (very much) - such as a typical app, like a word processor. When in fact, it's pretty much open-ended. It just takes a wee bit of expanding one's imagination to realize that.
AI features and uses on Apple products will be expanding over many years, in many different ways. You've just seen the beginning.

Personally I view the software and the hardware as being largely independent. Sure there are some dependencies between them but there's value in the new hardware now and then there's more value in the software as it evolves.
First this because nobody talks about it: “Visual Engine” is a “100% copy” of Bixby Vision. Yes, not similar but a real copy.
The answer to your question is very simple: missing core technology. Two companies have been offering “Visual Intelligence” for years: Samsung through Bixby Vision and Google through Google Lens.
Samsung has been using Pinterest as well as its own technology, and Google uses of course its own technology. Apple needs to find a partner who can do that search first before announcing a release date😁
Guess we’re in deep talks about iOS 19 and the iPhones 17 until we see some of the AI features in the EU countries.
If these people could choose between
- Macs with16 Gb of RAM as standard + USB A-ports
- teleportation
we know teleportation would be out.
Honestly, I really wish Apple just saved this stuff for next year’s WWDC. I remember the days when we’d get all new features of a new OS on time
Since right now Siri lacks some of the same basic features and abilities that other assistants have had on other devices since prior to the AI wave I’d expect improvements to Siri even if you don’t have a phone that supports Apple Intelligence. All of the new bells and whistles? No. The ability to integrate with ChatGPT? Not in all the ways that will be possible with Apple Intelligence but considering that you can run ChatGPT’s app right now on devices without 8 GB of RAM then IMO there is no reason other than pure greed that some of the Siri improvements and maybe even some of the ChatGPT integration shouldn’t make its way to older hardware.
I’ve got an iPhone 15 Pro and a 2022 iPad Pro so whatever Apple puts out in iOS and iPadOS 18.x from here on out I’ll be able to run but considering that you can do some of the things that had been previously touted, perhaps mistakenly, as Apple Intelligence features in older hardware like transcripts of voice conversations then I’ve got to believe there might be some features coming to Siri or other areas in 18.x previously labeled or touted as Apple Intelligence features that could still show up for users with older hardware.
My wife has an iPhone 13 so it’ll be interesting to see what makes its way into 18.x that requires Apple Intelligence and trickles down to all devices that can run iOS 18.x even if your running it in older hardware. I know there likely won’t be much but when you look at how far behind something like Siri has been up until now you’d sure think there would be things in store for Siri even on older hardware in iOS 18.x that will improve the experience. At least, IMHO, there could be if Apple wanted to and thus as far as I’m concerned there should be.

I am sure that was the plan, but then they got hammered in the press and Wall Street with “Apple is behind on AI” for months, and so here we are.
Exactly.
The one subject I have not seen any articles on anywhere is about how the buildup of the back end is going. They're creating a new OS specifically to be secure and they have put together all the server machines that will be running the secure OS. Where are these data centers? I know they are working with open AI for some of that stuff, but Apple is going to want to have their own hardware.
