Does it matter? It's a major feature and it doesn't exist.LOL. LMAO even.
Though I don't believe people who purchased iPhone 16 just for Apple Intelligence actually exist.
This, I want my ****ing money back Apple.I want money back for the 16 pro max, don’t advertise features that we won’t get
Like with the 3D TVs / Cinema and VR, you can still buy those. But 99% of the main market has long since moved on.
Until in 3-5 decades the technology improved beyond word guessing models (LLM), I don't see it being more than a fad.
Actually, the slogan should be
"Hello? Apple Intelligence?"
They did this to themselves by advertising a major feature that was nowhere near ready for prime time.I know we're shi**ing on Apple here and I'll get flak for defending Apple, but they're trying to do something that no one has really done before: create a SOTA LLM that will run on 8GB of RAM.
Now back to shi**ing on Apple:
they did this to themselves by putting in such low base amounts of RAM for so long.
You want your money back AND keep your iPhone 16 or you want your money back and then you buy an old iPhone 15 for the same price?This, I want my ****ing money back Apple.
100% agree. 👍These ads disgusted me when they came out, and they have not aged well. I mean, honestly, the ads encourage exactly the thing I hate most about Apple Intelligence. People that don’t put any effort into doing something, like reading an email you sent them.
Apple is actively rewriting communications I send to other people without my consent or permission. I have actually gotten more than a few panicked calls from people who read a text message summary or email summary that completely changed the meaning of what I said to something completely opposite. It’s only a matter of time until we read about people getting fired because of Apple Intelligence or some angry lover murdering their significant other because Apple Intelligence told them they were being cheated on.
I'm doing the Copland comparison, as the article states that a scrap and re-write is necessary.
I should get my money back and the ability to buy the iPhone 18 or whatever iPhone that comes out with the Apple intelligence they promised us.You want your money back AND keep your iPhone 16 or you want your money back and then you buy an old iPhone 15 for the same price?
In your opinion Apple Maps wasn’t as bad. And while I can’t claim to know the mindset of management then or now. AI to me is a moving target in to becoming a commodity. Different than Apple Maps, a defining feature at the time.
Maybe a better compromise is when a new iPhone with fully working AI comes out, iPhone 16 users get to trade in their phone for a new iPhone, no extra cost. I'd go for that (but will never happen).I should get my money back and the ability to buy the iPhone 18 or whatever iPhone that comes out with the Apple intelligence they promised us.
Tim Cook era, love it
Yeah it was a big thing at the time.Apple Maps was the first crack in the foundation of the post-Jobs Apple, so in that sense it was a monumental flub. I mean, Tim Cook had to apologize to Brian Williams at Grand Central Terminal for it.
They do? Where is the general consensus that “Apple ships crap”? Who excuses that?Since then people know Apple ships crap and it's excused.
Not in my opinion. But of course with over one billion customers there are varied opinions.The only reason their software is still usable today is they were 10 years ahead of everyone else back then. Nowadays everyone else has caught up and is quickly eclipsing Apple in software.
Oh yeah that could work tooMaybe a better compromise is when a new iPhone with fully working AI comes out, iPhone 16 users get to trade in their phone for a new iPhone, no extra cost. I'd go for that (but will never happen).
They wouldn't announce something they had no idea about or zero progres. I think they have Siri 2.0 ready, only it uses more than 8GB of RAM. I'm sure they thought they could solve the RAM limitations in the meantime. The proof is that when they realized how difficult it would be in all devices they started increasing the base RAM.They did this to themselves by advertising a major feature that was nowhere near ready for prime time.
But did they have a choice? They had a new iPhone to introduce with little-to-no real improvements (minus a new chip) over the predecessor. Tim had to fill time with something...
I agree, but the people who you mentioned that panicked didn't think to read the entire message before reaching out to you? They just read the summary and immediately reacted? Were these coworkers, friends or very young people?These ads disgusted me when they came out, and they have not aged well.
