Yo, Craig and Greg. My iPhone 16 Pro that was built for these features will get access to all the features, yea?
Pigs could also be born with wings and be accomplished flyers by March or April of 2026. I won’t hold my breath.
They are promising again and giving themselves no room for error. If these features don’t both ship and work well by the end of April of 2026 then some C-Level executives must be fired. Period. End of discussion.
That none of them were already given this years fiasco means that if they repeat it again next year, Tim’s seat should be starting to feel warm. The buck stops with him, and his response to it was shuffling the deck. It better work…
Apple should go back to having the execs demo major new features live, on stage, at WWDC.
Anything half-baked would be dropped in rehearsal, if not earlier. Product teams would be kept honest and marketing would be forced onto the same page. Steve knew what he was doing with his live demos.

Made a huge deal about Apple Intelligence and then never provide it in a useful form. How do they get away with this?
Smoke and mirrors marketing as perfected by the company that can sell anything at premium prices to the “faithful”. It’s fascinating to witness.
I've got an appointment at the hospital on July 3rd for an ultrasound. I asked Siri to add it to my calendar. It couldn't understand a s#!+! But when I asked Gemini, it did understand without any problems though I coughed in between. As it doesn't have access to my calendar it said sorry. So, Siri is imbecile than they showed in ads 10 years ago!

No, god no. The system Combs, Sales and Engineering are the two pillars of the conjoined triangles of success.
Engineering and Sales must work together to decide what to built. Who knows better what the customers need than the people who actually deal with the customers every single day?
Sales did their part, engineering didn’t. Why?
Siri sucks but this whole AI delay let's Apple off the hook in at least trying to make Siri better with its existing AI architecture until they can cross the gap to the new model. Why can't they do both - improve siri but also work on siri ai - isn't that a misnomer since siri is an ai of sorts already? Also - when they had a come to Jesus moment in April and miraculously no one got fired - I am surprised that the extra resources they threw into development did not give them confidence to provide a sooner date that they would know they can nail. 2026 means skip the 17 model. No compelling reason now to get it unless your prior phone is really old. I also wonder that once they fix AI if they can give older ipads the new windows features then maybe with AI they won't play the same game to limit the feature to the brand new iphones 16 and 17. I know they will limit the feature to drive sales. Meanwhile Alexa is killing it. The siri voice is forever tarnished - that poor voice will never want to be heard from in the future by most users.
A swinging pan to closeup shot of Tim's face where he let's out an exasperated "Oy" as the punchline to every mishap he has to experience or deal with as CEO. I would actually open the Apple Plus app to watch that.Maybe Apple can use the idea for a sitcom on Apple TV.
At some point just make Siri able to consistently turn off or on a light, is that too much to ask? If it can’t do the basics I don’t need the rest.
