It only has to be better than the alternative which, fortunately for Apple, has a super low bar.lol yeah their privacy is only a marketing gimmick

Siri is not great, but there are many fields in AI where Apple is doing very good - fall detection, health, noise cancellation…
This is already old and overused... The bug has been detailed and fixed and decades implies more than 1. This bug was not resurfacing photos from 2004 (before the iPhone was released).
Why is this not surprising?With the confidential-computing approach, Apple will be able to handle processing of AI-related data in the cloud while making it extremely difficult for hackers to gain access to the data even in the event of a data breach. It would also reduce Apple's burden of having to hand over personal data from its servers in the event of a government or law enforcement request.
Thats because Siri is not AI. It was a hard coded assistant. Very different from actual AI...Apple can't even get Siri to work right. HomePods are a great example of pure failure. Apple expect us to think they can do AI better than the others? lol

but right now honestly, why just not use Google,

Nobody's going to waste 2 hours to go to the Genius Bar for something by design. What do you want them to tell you?I highly recommend a visit to the Apple Store to understand why you're experiencing failures with Siri.
I feel the same way about Google Assistant. There are a growing list of things it used to be able to do, but just falters badly now at. I mentioned to a friend that it feels like they are trying to kill it off slowly. For example, the other day I said 'hey google, next song'. It used to skip to the next song, but on this occasion it responded with "playing the album.... by..." and proceeded to jump from the playlist to something I never heard of before. Another example is I had to rename some of the lights in the house, because after understanding the names of them for several years, it could no longe do so, and mistook one of the names to mean turn off everything in the house.i have 6 and i swear mine get worse every year. I wouldn’t bother with today’s “geniuses”. They ain’t like the old days. Siri can’t understand basic scene commands she once performed quickly
Ok. Not gonna argue with you. Apple didn’t store deleted photos. It was a corruption in the device back and and restore from backup process. The update has been detailed by tech experts. Sure Apple could have provided more clarity. But to say Apple stored deleted photos is false.I understand what you're saying, Tim, but you never explained WHY you stored deleted photos in the first place.
1.2 is more than 1, therefore, 'decades' is the right word.
You say one and a half apples, NOT one and a half apple.
Because they weren’t storing photos lol. Just do a quick google search and you’ll find your explanation you seek. Yeah I agree Apple should have detailed the bug. But it’s been discussed and fixed. Time to move on instead of people on EVERY Apple article throwing out the stupid “oh like you store our deleted photos”.The bug hasn't been detailed. We've been told it was a bug; we still haven't been told why Apple was storing the photos period.
This is what I anticipate, however I haven’t heard anything to corroborate it. This would give Apple plenty of time and space to bring their AI efforts to scale.Correct me if I'm wrong but is the on-device processing limited to/optimized for iphone 16 pro only? I've read reports before along the line.

I always used to have a scene called "tv time" with Siri that dimmed my lights and turned on the tv and it worked great for years til it became completely unusable about 2 years ago so I changed the command to movie time. even that I usually have to yell multiple times before it actually worksI feel the same way about Google Assistant. There are a growing list of things it used to be able to do, but just falters badly now at. I mentioned to a friend that it feels like they are trying to kill it off slowly. For example, the other day I said 'hey google, next song'.

Another example is I had to rename some of the lights in the house, because after understanding the names of them for several years, it could no longe do so, and mistook one of the names to mean turn off everything in the house.
At this point I would be happy to ditch Google, but I find Siri still worse (but the gap is narrowing).

Did you try ChatGPT's voice tool in the iOS app? Try that for a while and then come back here to tell me Siri "works".

iOS 18 is widely expected to include new generative AI features for the iPhone, with a mix of on-device and cloud-based processing, and a new report has outlined Apple's alleged privacy measures for the cloud-based features.

Apple's AI servers will supposedly be powered by a combination of M2 Ultra and M4 chips that it uses in Macs and iPads. According to The Information's Wayne Ma, Apple plans to utilize the Secure Enclave in its chips "to help isolate the data being processed on its servers so that it can't be seen by the wider system or Apple." Technical details about the Secure Enclave are outlined in Apple's Platform Security Guide.
The report said this "confidential-computing approach" will have strong privacy protections:
The report added that Apple has a longer-term goal of offloading the processing power of future wearable devices to servers powered by Apple silicon chips. This move could allow Apple to design a thinner and lighter Vision Pro headset, or future Apple Glasses.
More details can be found in the full report on The Information's website.
