You use a lot more Apple AI than you think.. but if you are referring to the chat models or such like GPT then that makes sense.
Maybe it a way to get a freee 16 GB of ram for the power consumption of course
lmao they gonna charge for it? I have an iCloud+ sub so doesn't matter to me but they should offer a free version at least.
Copilot is the best "chatbot" out atm. It's basically ChaptGPT but it's integrated so well into Windows and has iOS/Android apps.
If Apple lock their AI stuff behind subs then it's another L for them. Copilot,ChatGPT and gemini offer pro plans but they all have free tiers. Hopefully Apple do the same or they'll never catch up.

If you think Apple cares about your privacy then joke's on you. They don't care. They want you to think they do and they'll charge you for it. Private Relay/Hide My Email should be free but you have to pay.
Who the hell is asking for these generative AI features anyways? ChatGPT and the like are tools that overpromise and underdeliver, and that bubble can’t pop soon enough.
Tim Cook is making such a big deal about AI now I wouldn’t be surprised if some AI subscription features get announced at WWDC. Wall Street won’t care about AI if Apple can’t find a way to make money off of it.
Seriously, the main application I want AI for on iOS and macOS is spellchecking...
I’m all for it…if it’s optional and unobtrusive.
I don’t need assistance in browsing the web, looking at you Chrome & Edge. I don’t give a **** about AI “features” that don’t actually do anything for me but get in the way with prompts to start using it.

They should just be copying Samsung/OneUI really. Never thought I'd say, as a Apple lover, but they've virtually nailed the Galaxy line.
It's gotten pretty obvious that Apple is behind on AI, but I don't know how I might feel if, when September comes and iOS 18 gets released, I find out that all the "new" AI features on Safari are just Apple-fied versions of stuff that's already been available for a long time in other browsers. 🙃
It's like when Apple talks about how great Apple Music is as a streaming service, and I just think "didn't Spotify already do all this, but better?"
* At a work event one night *
Siri: I noticed you open ******* latina maids section every night at 9pm, would you like me to open that for you now?

Yeah, but with the option to still see ads as static like you would in a newspaper.
Generative AI could simultaneously satisfy websites who reply on ad income to function and users who don't like their reading interruoted with videos.
If the backend is the same it doesn't matter what you use on the front end you're likely going to get then.
I did a search on Google and then used Arcs Browse For Me feature which returned the same sites of which none found what I was looking for.
There are web architectural issues that a Browser simply isn't going to be able to fix with bolting on AI.

If it requires a subscription, then I won't be using it.
I was just thinking the same thing. Surprised Apple hasn't bought them anyway.
It will be interesting to see how much Apple charges for the Emergency SOS via Satellite feature as well.
I use Edge and copilot all the time, and it's great. I know that's sacrilege but it works.
this kind of stuff does not make me wanting to ever use ios18 ...
IF they can do it right (and that's a HUGE "IF"), then it would be the first usable selling point for me to buy a new phone. I very often use GPT Plus and Copilot and doing anything with Siri is just a slap in the face even compared to Alexa.
