Apple Intelligence Upgrades for Siri Likely Pushed Back to iOS 18.5

What a flip flop. There are many examples of companies that do succeed.
You don’t even have to use dealerships to succeed. Fisker just didn’t have competitive models, lucid is too pricey and polestar is very successfull. You could go back in the old age and use ice cars, EV’s are the future. Apple failed in this and wasted 10 billion.

See, you did get the gist of the post after all. . That it’s easy to build an EV, but that leap to a successful business is a tough one. And no polestar is not that successful. When a particular ev is as common in the road as a Honda civic it will be successful. And where I live Teslas are just that.

And it’s your opinion Apple failed, but clearly you don’t know the value of the 10 billion in r&d to Apple. That’s spitballing.

Whatever, seems you live in a parallel universe too. Hope it’s not contagious 😷

Is there something to say about the topic at hand which is Siri updates being delayed or are you going to throw ad-Homs around.

Building cars is never, ever easy. It’s famously hard and insanely expensive, actually.

Also, Apple weren’t just trying to build an EV, they were trying to build a next generation autonomous EV.

Yup, after my iPhone 15, no more iPhones for me. It's shockingly embarrassing how behind Apple is in AI features. especially after seeing the Max Tech video. I would go to either Google Pixel or OnePlus for my next phone.

So how much al would you Even use? If it’s such a deal breaker. You do realise if you use google photos you can use the same photo editing options, right?

Some don't understand how a surprise and upcoming 100% tariff for EVs manufactured in China (likely causing Apple needing to charge customers > $100K for their car) can instantly destroy a business case that was previously sound.

I’ve seen posts similar to this related to the Apple car, and I see couple of issues with this line of thinking.

1. IIRC, Apple announced the fate of their car project around Feb ‘24, but was likely cancelled well before that. The Biden administration announced 100% tariffs impacting Chinese vehicles almost two months later. The timeline is off.
2. Any corporation investing in pretty much anything first undergoes a risk analysis process where risks are identified and analyzed across multiple aspects of the business. A critical part of that process involves risk mitigation. I have to believe that for a multi-national corporation like Apple, something like changing political or tariff environment is an easy risk to identify and mitigate, since they probably deal with this all the time across their product lines.

I’ve had my doubts about Apple’s decision-making of late, but I seriously doubt Apple would have put all their EV eggs in a Chinese basket if even a rudimentary level of risk analysis was conducted. There were probably multiple reasons, likely including technological challenges, behind their decision to cancel the car project. Given where they seem to be on the AI front, I feel technology was the bigger factor. My $.02
