Sure it’s a good, conservative strategy. It’s a win/win. Let’s people know there’s a delay and gives Apple the ability to assess what has to be done and how much time is needed.
I don’t get it. When I worked for a tech company in Seattle (not Bill’s), no software was released or marketed until a minimum set of requirements was met, one being a gold master of the final software code that had been fully tested / debugged / reviewed / trialed by devs in multiple internal releases / executive-approved / etc.
Does that not happen anymore? To not do the above opens a company up to massive liability. Why knowingly release crap? It hurts your brand and causes previously loyal and happy customers to become unhappy and causes them to consider defecting to other brands.

I think that paragraph was the entire point of this “leak”.
Gruber said there was no evidence these features were working. Hey presto, a “leaked” “internal” “meeting” includes a demo of said features. Everything else is just noise.
Same here. Most of my career was as both a hardware and a systems engineer in aerospace. Delays happen once in awhile, for a variety of reasons.
Customers more or less expect that to happen occasionally when you're really pushing the envelope. People who have never worked in product development that pushes the envelope will *never* understand that.
I know little about AI, but I suspect that's an area where the envelope is being pushed pretty hard, resulting in expected delays.
You really think anyone at Apple now care about the brand? Its about revenue and money.
Failed products like Airpower, Apple Car, AVP, Homepods. Releasing upgrades that cripple performance just to make you upgrade and get the revenue going.
Downgrading re-introduced products with lesser microphones and downgraded wifi modules in a world where wifi 6 is standard.
Rebranding SoC from last year making them as a new gen.
Leaving out 1 year old products from small feature updates claiming it needs new SoC to run. A product that was released last year.
Macbook Pro redesign the screens all come with dents ALL of them and nobody is doing anything about it yet people pay premium. A cheap a** HP doesnt even have dents in brand new laptops.
Now selling iPhones with non existing and conceptual videos just to let people buy an iPhone 15 rebranded 16.
Apple watch ever since gen 5 it got rebranded till series 7 maybe even 9.
The iPhone stopped innovating since 11.
iPadOS feels like Win 3.1 of this age.
Must I go on? These are red flags and monster trucks horns people should have noticed.
It’s such a different apple. Tim Cook is lazy, he doesn’t even do live shows anymore. Can you imagine Steve doing a recorded presentation? Not in a million years
Regardless of who is or isn’t at fault here, surely everyone can agree this is a significant PR fail
And despite the above posts... Apple is one of the most successful tech companies in the world with 2+ Billion active and repeat customers who love purchasing Apple products. Year after year after year.
Not really related to the issue at hand though.
Sadly I think Tim Cook is more interested in the share price than the products.
His attitude is if this years product is crap don’t worry we’ll sell them a better product next year.

Nokia was in that position once. So was Blackberry. They both came crashing down with no warning.
But it is. If Apple and Cook were doing such an awful job as a consumer tech company as claimed above, they wouldn't have 2+ Billion active and repeat customers.
Yeah... many people have been claiming the sky is falling for Apple for the last 20+ years.
Somehow they manage to limp along with its 2+ Billion active and repeat customer who love purchasing their products, making it one of the most successful tech companies in the world.
Plenty of executives of very successful companies have made significant mistakes in their roles. Sometimes the companies can weather them sometimes they can’t. It also doesn’t mean that somebody else couldn’t do a better job.
And to be clear, I’m not suggesting Apple’s downfall is anywhere near. Though I do think Cook/Apple is doing a poor job with this.
Coincidentally, I was trying to do this with Siri and had to make many corrections
Guys, there was an article about a year ago or so, saying that Federighi played with chat GPT and found it interesting.
That was almost a year after GPT launched.
He is Apple SVP of software. This alone should explain it all.
While the world move on with AI chatbots of every kind at Apple they were probably thinking how to spin a good story about how they are offsetting their carbon emissions by planting 4 trees.
Or a story about privacy and human rights.
Pathetic at best…

No one was forced to buy anything plus the 15 Pro supported most of the features AI supposedly offered so it was never really a selling point EVER.
People just fell for marketing as far as I am concerned.
“Fell for” implies dishonesty on the part of Apple.
There wasn’t no warning. People used to line up for blackberry products, although not like Apple line ups. Their decline wasn’t all that unexpected, because the handwriting was on the wall.
Yeah, even as someone who is on the side of Apple has screwed this up, I don’t think those are apt comparisons.
“Working to some extent” is not shippable by a serious company.
Catch that part about giving the team time off to recharge? Sounds like a pretty demoralizing atmosphere
