Makes a lot of sense to not release until it’s ready, but it makes more sense to not announce until you know for sure when you will be ready to release.

Woof
I'm not holding my breath on any of that coming along and actually "working well" anytime soon
Love the folks who say "Apple needs to (insert advice here)". Going to tell a trillion dollar company what they need to do.
So as long as they use any method required to "make number go up", all other opinions are moot?
Do I have it right?
Apple should have kept AI for iOS 19 so they could release a finished product in one go.
I’m far from convinced they will ever make this work well on a current phone. 8GB isn’t much when it comes to a LLM and obviously you’ve got all the other services and apps already using that capacity. It’s just not enough for a good result IMO.
They won’t be a trillion dollar company for long if they stop listening to their customers.
No, they don’t. They could have released nothing for Apple Intelligence (and they’ve released numerous Apple Intelligence features) and it’d still not be false advertising, because they clearly explained the features were not coming at phone launch. If they release 18.4/18.5, or some features slip to iOS 19 AND the iPhone 16 isn’t powerful enough to run, or if their ads were “look at the amazing stuff new Siri can do on iPhone” then you have a case for false advertising.
apple is one disappointment after the other these days, it wasn’t like this a few years ago.
I'd say Siri was better when Apple purchased the company, and it has only gotten worse since.
Ahh yes, honestly, Apple is absolutely killing it with Mac and macOS right now, I love both. Everything else, disappointing. Undirected and small upgrades, horrible iOS software stability and embarrassing apple intelligence rollout, and lazy product launches (just press releases now) but i hope it improves(My Mac Mini M4 has entered the chat...)
Jus sayin'
It ain't ALL bad

Agree completely -- just wanted to at least drop in the ray of "goodness" that is Mac hardware
While I agree Siri hasn’t progressed by leaps and bounds, it absolutely is better and more capable than it was in 2010.
We’ve gotten more realistic voices, on-device processing, HomeKit integration, Siri Shortcuts and multi-language support off the top of my head.
People are already losing their minds over AI, there is no way Apple could have waited another year.
Im convinced the ai feature is what destroyed my icloud storage. I have se 2022 and so it doesnt have ai features but Im saying that once I updated from ios 17.5 to 18.0.0 it completely destoryed my icloud storage by doubling the storage for no reason. It hasn't gone down at all. I keep reporting it in the feedback page. IOS 18 also has a bug in the message app where its not deleting texts once you manually delete them from recently deleted folder, usually it takes up to 4 days to delete on the server end but its not doing this. I just keep reporting it. Im told others have this issue too with messages.
Whatever. It’s hard to care at this point. I just wish I kept my 13 Pro and skipped the 16 Pro.
I have no issues with the new mini. The new iPhones do nothing for me. I'm still on a 2018 Intel mini, only because everything I use still works on it. Ripping things to Plex is still fast. No issues designing objects in Fusion. I'll upgrade as soon as Fusion and/or PrusaSlicer requires me to, which means when Apple drops support for Intel processors.(My Mac Mini M4 has entered the chat...)

It's explained in this video. A third-party organization has access to the iOS and server code and can audit them to verify Apple's privacy claims.
That sounds frustrating but give that Apple Intelligence didn’t release until 18.1 (and doesn’t interact with iCloud), I suspect it’s something else.
It’s going to be a year before they roll out all the features promised anyway so we haven’t gained much from an early release.
They’ve done it this way to appease the stock market rather than their customers.
A company misleads the public through advertisements. Customers buy it. Yet you blame the customer and not the company?
NO not true. AI features was released in ios 18.0.0 trust me I know things. And I barely have anything on my phone so since I didn't delete anything on my icloud theres no reason it shouldve doubled. Stop trying to make it my fault.
