I know fanbois will hate this, but, will everyone here be surprised when “Apple Intelligence” aka contracted-ChatGPT underperforms and disappoints???

I have region and language set to American (English) and it doesn’t offer me the AI options. Looks like it also needs you to register an American address and credit card with the App Store.
Same
Wondering if a solution exists on this board.
Rebooted twice and wondering what the point was. Is it geo-tied to the USA do you think?
Been 12+ hours since I upgraded to Apple Intelligence, noticing some slowdowns here and there + battery drains, maybe it’s still optimizing.
I'm still amazed by the 15 Pro requirement.
If I bought a $1000 phone a few months ago, like a 15 Plus or any 15 with a bigger memory than a $100 Xiaomi, I'd feel insulted by this.

Now I see why AI needs to be on devices. Searching for one of your pictures using natural language would be otherwise a nightmare.
Not impressive at all honestly. It basically just put your interest into sentences then it said you own a canine company which you don’t.
Works fine for me on my M1 iPad here in the UK. Have you requested access and, once approved, remembered to actually turn it on in settings?
It's AI that is game-changing. People are complaining about Apple's delayed and so-far very limited and unimpressive implementation of it.
Looks more like malware to me. Takes up resources but is useless. This is the kind of stuff you want to turn off or uninstall. In any case it's hard to see this causing any kind of supercyle of iphone upgrades. Hopefully Apple has something else going besides "AI"
When you listen to the WWDC presentation carefully, it is quite obvious, that the decision to postpone Apple AI outside the US has little to do with the spat between Apple and the EU. The models for languages other than English are likely not ready for prime time yet and will require much more work. It takes a lot of effort to fine tune the models for each language and even the mighty Apple does not have the resources to do it for many languages at the same time. There are some parallels with the rollout of translation models and speech detection models. Those were also released in a staged fashion.

How curious
I downloaded 18.1. It installed according to Settings, I've never known an update ask to be switched on before, is this a new thing?
It worked for me as well but I backed out because of a support document that implies there could be problems "Before updating your location, you must spend your store credit, cancel your subscriptions and get a payment method for your new country or region." - I was concerned about the implications of this
Yes, you are right. You should realy have a test device and a test account. I love to be on the front of technology. But I haven‘t a second iPhone 15 Pro.
Not that well for the moment.
People have forgotten but Siri was somewhat able to maintain context from day one. It barely does better now, more than ten years later, on that front.
People have also forgotten that at the time, Siri was shown looking for a "family friendly restaurant nearby", and being able to read reviews to identify such restaurant. It was never actually able to do it, but it definetely should be. There is nothing hard about looking at reviews around where the user is.
As of 30th July, we don't seem to be getting the 18.1 developer beta update in the United Kingdom.
