Apple's New M4 Macs Will Have Day One Update to Get Apple Intelligence Features

Apple probably think she's great because people keep giving her poor feedbacks but she doesn't undertand a word.
I think there will be a huge number of people disabling the AI features of future phones and laptops. So many companies have rushed this because they didn’t want to miss out on the money making opportunity. And unusually Apple seems to be scrambling with regards to AI. On both a hardware and software angle. They have been making SoCs with advanced neural processing capabilities for years now, but they were not backed by sufficient RAM for what was inevitably coming. Surely they had at least one person look at their recent devices and twig that the RAM was the weakest aspect. Their software offering is a patchwork of internal and external services and technologies, that looks like it’s been put together in a rush.
I wish they had just taken a bit more time and really worked on this to put the polish on it that they have normally done in the past with other technologies. That’s what Apple is known for, they may not be the first but they generally do it better.
Get a life!! this happens all the time on all brands and all devices. You can't build and ship a new product with the very latest OS when the latest update is released after the machines have been made.
I think that is more to do with the Apple Silicon than then wanting to give 16GB. It is built into the system, so the only way to give people 8GB as standard would be to disable 8.
Don't get me wrong, £600 for the basic Mac mini is good value, but I think in this day and age, they could have increased the stroage. 256GB is nothing.
The M4 will be a powerful machine and will suit many people. The way it is being advertised is as if it is the ojnly machine that will run Apple Intelligence, all Apple Silicon machines will run it
Not that i want to run it, no interest to me whatsoever.
I have no plans to update my M2 pro mini, i have only had it for around 18 months, so I will keep it for a few more years.
May have the M5 or M6 out by then.
Wow, calm down.
Yes it does happen more than people realise, it should not, but it does. Microsoft released window versions that are clearly not ready.
My TV, updated right away as soon as it was connected to a network, even my printer did.
Anyway, the last Iphone did not have AI on when it was launched, even if all the adverts made out it did.
Still not updated to it, i will wait for a few more versions just to make sure it is stable.
I never used to be like, alsoways used to have the latest OS, that was when I was using Windows, but I think I prefer a stable OS these days.
Also, I need to make sure I can disable any AI stuff that Apple try to throw at us.
What I want to know if is you can opt-out of these AI features? I would like to avoid Image Playgrounds and the majority of the Writing features too.
I haven't seen any problems yet, but I encourage you to wait as long as you want. Until apps you need start requiring it there's no need to upgrade.
I should’ve replied to this, too: so far, it’s all turned off by default. I expect that to continue, unless it’s something minor that will still require an explicit click to trigger.
