Oh my 😦, who’s your carrier 🤔?Very bummed that we are unlikely to see any beta for the next 2 weeks. 26.2 brought cellular connectivity to my watch with my carrier, the next day 26.3 public beta releases with no indications in the release notes that it would remove it... so now two weeks without cellular
I haven’t had any issues with CarPlay on it, I was replying to someone else who said they were having problems.
Yes, I think we’ll probably get the more expansive Apple Intelligence features in either 26.4 or 26.5. 👍🏻
Would guess so. All the rumours pointing towards. They will use a Gemini model from google. Pretty confident this will work nice but not sure how Apple will proceed with the AI features on device.
So what I have read is that Gemini will be another extension option alongside ChatGPT. Siri will very much be powered by Siri as far as I can tell… It’s just that Gemini would be an additional option to ChatGPT.
If that's the case, it would be quite terrible.. don't you think? I mean, aren't we waiting for on-device local AI and secure connect to Apple for deeper help? That is, for an interwoven system-access level natively built-in. Not another 'plug-in' that barely works correctly
It would be both. My point is, I don’t think Gemini is going to have anything to do with the interwoven system-access level stuff. The personal context features I think will be powered by Siri, while Gemini will be an additional plug-in option like ChatGPT. I know it can be confusing, but the picture that I’ve gotten from reading about it is that the more advanced Apple Intelligence features like Personal Context and such will be powered by Apple’s own AI models that run on-device to preserve privacy and security (as they will have access to a ton of private data that you wouldn’t want Gemini collecting), and then Gemini will be another option alongside ChatGPT for “general world knowledge” queries or whatever you want to call them… 👍🏻
I already use the Gemini iOS app on my phone. A ton. Apple “integrating” it by not really integrating it at all and just having the UI hand off to Gemini when there’s any question harder than “what time is my next meeting” is lame. And it would make me still just use the Gemini app. I have a Pro subscription too, so… how’s THAT gonna work?
I completely disagree. And I would never want Gemini to have full access to my system level data and personal info… Apple Intelligence runs on device, which ensures privacy and security. Giving Gemini access to all that stuff would basically undermine the whole point of that. So Apple is certainly not going to do that. Siri actually remains private and secure, unlike Google’s spyware packaged as an AI assistant… 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah, totally agree. They basically never have released any updates over the stretch between Christmas and New Years as far as I’m aware. Highly doubt we’re getting any new updates until early next year. 👍🏻
Taking into account that the intelligent SIRI will be a version of Gemini in theory specially prepared for Apple, you will never be 100% certain about what happens to your data, just as you don't have it now. You just decide who to trust, but you never really know exactly what's going on in the background with the data.
Last that I heard, Apple is paying Google to build their AI model. That does not mean that intelligent Siri will run on Google’s servers. The simple model could still run on device and the more advanced model can run on Apple’s servers. Gemini can then be used in the same way that ChatGPT is now.
