Nobody does know that, you're right
It's also why folks that claim the "billions of users" indicate happiness with all of Apple's actions are incorrect as well
Mass generalizing is a bad idea -- totally agree with you

Mom may know best. It's likely she can reply to many questions without needing to show you what she found on the web. Mom H.I. (human intelligence) at work.
However, LATER (to much later) when Siri finally is smartened up with A.I. (hopefully within our lifetimes)...
"Siri, when is Apple Intelligence gonna work right?"
"First, you should say 'going to' as gonna is not a word." And while she continues to give you an intelligently logical & verbose lesson in grammar/English, she is locking targeting scanners and loading a photon torpedo bay.
In the background, she's also scanning the web for EVERYONE who has ever made Siri-is-dumb jokes, triangulating their locations too, creating an array of targets for the rest of the arsenal of photon torpedos to also be fired. That may leave only the "Apple is practically perfect in every way", "Siri never fails me" guys still around here. They may consider that some kind of brand nirvana scenario.
Our only hope is that she plots those targets with Apple Maps so that most of us will be missed by upwards of 3-300 miles of our actual locations.

Mom has a better shot at giving you the correct answer.
Appreciate the drive-by. I was asked to prove on-device was a thing on Samsung and I did grabbing a screenshot. I did not make nor did I imply any assertions other than that.
I really was hoping for the promised AI features. I would have kept my 14 another year
Cleaning up Audio recordings and Photo Ambient Wallpaper are both things I would find very compelling
Not promising, based on how unimproved Siri is with Apple Intelligence and even the OpenAI enhancements.
Actually, you are "...missing a thing." You are just unaware of what you are missing, which is fine.

If there’s one thing that comes up time and again in every discussion group about virtually any topic it’s bugs. When I first came to the Apple ecosystem in 2010 I was as skeptical about “it just works” as I was impressed when things indeed did. Everything. It all just worked. It really did. A shiny new laptop talking to a shiny new phone. VM apps running Windows better and more reliably than on bare metal PCs. No matter what the complexity. It. All. Just. Worked.
And it remained that way for some time. But then things started to change. Was it really aligned with the passing of Steve? Perhaps. But I’m still nursing some bugs that appeared years ago.
I would happily settle for no major new features if they would just fix the bugs. I could even live with the crap that is Siri if they fixed everything else. But maybe then fix Siri too, please. Then we can look at some smart new stuff.

I disagree. IMO Apple remains mostly not disappointing, despite some notable awfulnesses like killing MacProject and killing Aperture after enticing folks like me into building enterprise-critical workflows around Apple's apps.
IMO AI on or off is only temporary, perhaps while Apple figures out the current [IMO beta] clustermess. At some point soon AI will simply be transparently part of apps and the OS, on by default. At that point users that insist on no AI will pay a huge performance penalty.

Miffed is a good word. I remain miffed about Aperture every day.
Nah they can’t, privacy is a fundamental human right!!! 🤣
Class action lawsuit should be considered for everyone that bought an iPhone 16 with the marketing being primarily “Hello, Apple Intelligence.” I would have never upgraded seeing we likely won’t get what was promised before WWDC 2025 or in worst case, the launch of iPhone 17.
Apple is very competent on skating the line between what's legal and what's misrepresented. Butterfly keyboards come to mind.
Apple Intelligence has been available for months now, and in fact in other threads people are complaining loudly about Apple daring to turn it on by default.
Apple was very clear about what was coming when. And there is zero indication that “upgraded Siri” won’t be supported by the 16s or 15 Pros.
Apple replaced my butterfly keyboards at least twice over the years at no charge. No misrepresentation [to me]: the keyboards failed and Apple replaced them.
Correct. But billions of users made Apple their home for their own reasons.
I don't even know ... they've tried so hard to market Apple Intelligence, but I'm honestly confused as to what's currently powered by what/where/how
They announced this at wwdc that there will be 3rd party independent inspections of apple cloud compute servers / software to verify their claims to be 100% private without storing any user data.
