They really didn't have a choice here, they're hopelessly behind on AI features so they had to announce something.
Remember when new software had all the features at release date ! The good old days …. 🤷♀️
Yep - amazing what you can do when you dismiss concerns like privacy, security, copyrights, trademarks, data ownership, or how NOT to monetize every aspect of a tool.
Move fast and break things...We have learned nothing from Web 2.0.
The "young blood" you seek will be the Alphas who will have been forbidden from bringing phones into their classrooms, won't have spent 8 hours a day on TikTok, and will be tasked with cleaning up this Zellenial mess.
Me...I can wait a few months until Apple gets most of "AI" right, even if it remains limited in scope (which it will be...and should be).

What will be urge for people to update for AI ability in September if the main features aren't coming to next year with the next phone release? I think the WWDC announcement was misleading. I will watch again to make sure.
The feature announcement list wasn’t for users like us - it was for stock analysts and major investors.
They needed to show the market that they have a plan for AI - half-baked or not. Keeping up with the Joneses.
It's not really about the users, it's about showing the market that $AAPL is going to have AI Features to compete with Microsoft and Alphabet.

Don't want. Won't use. Get it off my phone. I have never ever once in my life used Siri and now this seems like I will have no choice but to use it because it's just going to be part of the OS. Just leave me alone with all of this. I'm getting closer and closer to flat out disconnecting and going back to a flip phone. Life was so much easier back then.
It will take that long for them to download all of Craig Federighi's knowledge into the mainframe computer, the current processing power available will barely be able to render his hair. I don't think Apple Intelligence will be ready until 2026 at the least.
This is 110% on business types. Software devs will scream that features take longer to implement and get right than the time frames the business types allow but the business types will force push the updates because it makes them look good. Get MBAs out of software development and you’ll see a huge improvement. Software releases will be less but they’ll be worthy, finished upgrades.
You're reading Macrumors' take on a rumour promoted by a third party.
One nice thing about large language models, is that they have good reading comprehension, so you have something to look forward too.
The teeth gnashing over waiting a couple of months (iOS 18 comes out in the fall to begin with)…
Maybe I’m just getting older but this place, likely because the whole internet is going this way, is becoming a pit of negativity and “hot takes” that do not line up with reality at all.
I likely won’t use AI for several years until I move on from my 13 mini. That said, I have a tremendous respect for what Apple has done with Private Cloud Compute and on-device models. This is *going* to be a major product differentiator for the Apple ecosystem that no other Silicon Valley company’s *business models* will be able to match for at least several years.
Apple is going to take the time to roll it out properly? Boo hoo.

Oh, no! Remember, Apple is late with everything because "they want to get it right" (says many). Yet, is it ever "right"?
Hey Apple,, how about not announcing anything new unless you can release it in a few months, not years. Oh, wait...announcing something "new" props up your stock price, doesn't it? Nevermind.
Of course, we're willing to wait.
Do you think we would be willing to switch to Windows, Android, and completely switch ecosystem?
In the meantime we can enjoy ChatGPT, Copilot and a lot of other AI tools on both the Mac and the iPhone/iPad.
Not announce A.I means staying away from the hype. You'll see A.I stamped even on cleaning products.
No, my understanding it's you'll have pretty much the same Siri and functionality you have today.
Apple, in interviews I believe, said these feature would roll out during iOS lifetime. So, yes.

"Apple Intelligence will be available in beta on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac with M1 and later, with Siri and device language set to U.S. English, as part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia this fall.
Some features, additional languages, and platforms will be coming over the course of the next year."

My wife stumbles all the time talking to these things. You’d think it was an acting audition in front of an audience. Freezes. Repeats. Pauses.
