No again if as someone pointed out if it’s only working about 70% of the time now then about 9 months ago it must have been working 10% to 20% so there is no way they should have announced then.
Sigh. After about 100 posts on this nobody is changing anybody’s mind. There are a few constants no matter what nonsense is written:
A bonk on the head for buying something based on promises and not what it does at the time of purchase. You have no one to blame but yourself for being taken in on this. It's a good phone. But if you had a good phone already and replaced it knowing full well these past years that Apple is rolling out features across the year. I mean. Look in the mirror, that's the person responsible.
Well the truth is actually known that they can’t get the bloody thing to work properly hence why they are having meetings about it 9 months later.
That makes the stock go down. Apple is all about money printer go brrrrrrr. Apple actively disincentivizes bug fixes. They just had some feedback from someone inside Apple to that effect that was read on the ATP podcast. So now we know. And yes I believe the person that wrote in, sounds like they are frustrated and a bit of anon feedback was a release valve of sorts. Apple is losing control of the narrative.
I'm not sure why people are holding Apple to what they were 15 years ago. That's a different company altogether. The metric would be better focused on the last 3-5 years.
Hence a delay.
To put it in perspective, it actually means something to disagree with my posts and we have nothing on the line except to be “right”.
I agree to an extent. Whatever they communicate will be the most optimistic take on the current state of development. But if they actually make the current state publicly accessible, you can also be sure that it would be scrutinized to shreds, and the competition would gloat over every single flaw that it exhibits. So I can understand that they don’t do that. On the other hand, I also don’t particularly trust anything they say anymore.
If that’s the case about Apple shouldn’t address the future direction of its products then don’t announce something at wwdc for the roadmap for the next year if you can’t deliver it in the time scale.
Sure. But things happen. Some critical thing must have shown up at the last minute such that they had to delay. It happens. People usually don’t claim faux outrage about this stuff.
I don’t know how anyone can say that one iPhone 16 commercial wasn’t false advertising. They were literally advertising something that isn’t publicly available.
I kind of give them a pass on the AI stuff. It's hard to get it right, the engineers knew it, and the marketing goons pushed it anyway. They course corrected. Marketing types are mostly chaotic evil and should be dealt with the same way it is dispatched with in 40K.
Winning a class action lawsuit should be a piece of cake, then.
well, but Apple is perfect, aren't they? /s
They’ll claim the ad included a disclaimer. But the disclaimer didn’t specifically say what was shown in the ad wasn’t available. It was a generic “some features and languages will be coming over the next year”. Of course if the ‘more personal Siri’ doesn’t come in 2025 then the disclaimer will be false.
The only critical thinking that came up was oh jeez why can’t actually deliver this so we better delay it for another year
