I’m still using an iPhone 12 mini and when they announced Apple Intelligence I thought no way I’m buying the iPhone 16 because AI won’t be ready until March and by that time I might as well wait until the iPhone 17. At this point I’d wager AI won’t be ready until the iPhone 18 at the earliest. Even then I’m skeptical it will work as promised.
 
It was indeed a bait n switch. False advertising as well.
Apple needs to issue an apology.

Also, something else nobody seems willing to mention, but I’ll say it:
Productivity of a team is not fully realized when they’re working from home. I understand that Apple utilizes a hybrid WFH model. But these types of shortcomings will continue to happen until they bring everyone back to fully in-person work.
I know I’ll catch a lot of disagreement for this, but it’s the truth.
Agree 💯 and I’ll take some downvotes too. Apple software has been buggy crap since they implemented WFH. Nobody can convince me that people are fully focused on their work for the full time they should be working while at home during business hours.
 
Maybe. Hopefully Apple will be able to speed up the work and release an improved Siri sometime within the next 12 months.

Yes have a downvote for recency bias. Apple’s software has been buggy for years before the pandemic. With some of their largest issues happening before WFH.

You’re either very young or new to Apple so can get a pass for naivety.
 
Imagine how livid must Cook be. "Works to some extent? We didn't increase the base RAM to some extent!!"
 
From reading the comments here, nobody wants Apple AI on their iPhone - people have said that over and over again, over the last couple of months, very forcefully. And will be immediately turning it off should it pop up automatically in a future iOS update.

No compensation is necessary.
And no complains as well 😂

I think Apple is going more the way that curent AI model Manus has shown. But they strugle to make it reliable.
 
The whole point of WWDC was to announce the next finished version of iOS. The few months delay was for beta testing and fixing any bugs found before final release in Sep/Oct. It was never intended to show features they were still working on.

Would be hilarious if it was later discovered to be a pre recorded video playing on iPhone

The give away being the play and pause buttons appearing on screen a few seconds

😆😂

But seriously, let’s hope things are sorted out and best to ship features only when they work.

Hasn’t this been the way Apple has always been. They are late to the party, but usually come with the best implementation.
 
OMG
For goodness sake
Just accept they made a mistake in the first place
Just accept that things didn’t go as planned in the testing and led to these sequences of events.

In the end it doesn’t matter, it all looks the same on the scorecard. Apple will figure out what it needs to do in the timeframe they will do it in. The critics will see this as apples ineptitude and the fans will see this as a normal delay that can happen in big projects.

Mate what are you an Apple shareholder with some stake in the company?
Just admit the company made a judgement in error with this software feature
 
Working to some extent

We're still pushing this manufactured outrage? Of course they have something semi-working internally. The semi-working bit is exactly why we haven't been able to try it yet.

It's ready when it's ready.

It’s only an outrage because Apple announced something that wasn’t functionally properly in the first place & still went ahead with it.
When what they should have done is work on it in the background to the point when it was nearly ready & then put out a press release saying it’s coming soon.
 
It seems Apple has learned from its Apple Maps release that software must be in better shape before releasing it it to the general public… I’m happy to wait for them to get it right, rather than having it right now! 😉
Then why did they show it at all? Now that we know it is an iOS 19 release, we also now know Apple had basically NOTHING to help sell iPhone 16’s and falsely used “Apple Intelligence” to sell phones.
