Maybe Siri will be able to actually add minutes to a timer. Alexa and Google do this with no issues as well as having multiple timers.

Also, context awareness is nice, but assuming you don't have mobility issues, the share button should be right there and you don't have to worry about Siri sending that selfie to your definitely-not-crush-omg by accident on purpose.
AI is still mostly hype. I wager 2025 is the year the AI bubble pops.
As I live in Europe the whole thing is vapourware.
Priority notifications is an Apple Intelligence feature? Apple may be a trillion dollar company but their software development team is an epic failure!
How can you turn most of them off? I thought it was either on or off.
I set it up on my machine just to be nosy, going to go back to the last back-up and get rid of it again.
I reside in the United Kingdom, which is still a part of Europe. Consequently, we have access to all the available products, including writing tools. Europe is a vast area encompassing numerous countries.
Considering Siri told me the next Friday the 13th is on Saturday Jan. 18, I think I’ll just keep deciding what’s important without Apple’s help.
Turned all of this nonsense off immediately when I updated.
Apple is years behind when it comes to AI and Genmoji nonsense didn't help much.

Pushing AI features no one asked for, while long-standing bugs keep getting ignored.
Tim Cook's Apple is just doing whatever Wallstreet says is relevant to growth without ever pausing to think if anyone but their shareholders actually get something out of this nonsense.

It’s too bad that you can’t adjust the memory movies to show slides for a longer amount of time. 4.3 seconds is what I would recommend. It’s what works for my brain when slides are changing. They move way too fast, and I have written Apple hundreds of times about this and they refuse to do anything, so I will not use that “feature”. To be honest, I miss iMovie 6. The software was logical and it was easy to create a movie and anything after that has been crap. Thanks for letting me vent.
It’s because people/users are just getting dumber/lazy. Apple removing features and preferences….all the while putting more resources into AI….which will do the ‘thinking’ for you. I don’t see this ending well.
Don’t expect too much from it… a processor swap here and there and you can wait for a few years for the next “big thing”.
Join the club and get used to it. You know Timmy said they’ve been working on it for years 🤥
The UK is in Europe but not the EU to the poster above which is why we have AI and the EU doesn’t due to their additional and onerous tech regulations. Cookie acceptance rsi anyone?
🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 when?!!!! Even my shortcuts don't work because they are in Polish it's bug btw

Why nobody dares to ask Timmy the burning questions? If every good journalist dares to asks those critical questions and gots banned by Apple there won’t be any story left. I’ve so many questions I could ask Timmy. And no… I don’t take the answer that they’ve been working on AI for years for granted. If so, the iPhone 15 and before were planned obsolescence. Even the new 16 which comes with a meager 8 Gb of ram. Ask Timmy if that’s enough for the years to come?
People say iOS needs less ram because it’s more efficient than Android. However Android is fully multitasking where iOS is not. iOS has the sort of a multifinder for those who remember the good old days. At least iPadOS should be fully multitasking.
All modern OS-es can multitask.
The slowest and most boring rollout ever. Image Playground is kinda meh, slow, heats up your iPhone, closes every app in the background and chews through battery like crazy. Meanwhile Meta added image generation to WhatsApp and Instagram and is almost instant, with much much better output. On-device LLM suck.
There have been a couple of instances where AI has given me impressive results. Copilot with Claude Sonnet has been getting really good, and audio transcribing and summarization with ChatGPT is really something. After trying that Plaud recording device I was amazed at how good it was.
Apple hardly is first, but they usually do things better. So I’m confident in Apple Intelligence.
What really is a shame is the fact that Apple AI is limited to the US and a few other countries. Siri is localized in many languages. Same for ChatGPT. I see no reasons for this limitation.
