Kuo: Cook Should Personally Address Siri Apple Intelligence Failure

[TgeekB]

Sure, sure….

Glad you agree.

Incorrect. There have been times some functions and features are not working properly at WWDC and or are promised for a later time.

Ok name ones that have been promised & had advertisements made of them &
Ultimately then delayed for a further year later?

A class action lawsuit is definitely incoming. They sold iPhone 16 upgrades for Siri AI.

Go rewatch the announcement. It was all about ai. Now most of the features they promised have been removed or postponed. This may be the biggest Apple class action in history and should almost assuredly trigger Cook’s golden parachute to open.

Good luck proving you've been harmed by something you've never had.

My post said later, you specified a year. Moving goal posts and that stuff.

I’d be more than happy if you have a citation for your “fact” that apple flat out lied about Siri at WWDC. Because all there is is an opinion based on a feeling - as is mine.

No you move the goal posts consistently

I have consistently said Apple should not have announced this at wwdc because it wasn’t working properly hence why it’s been delayed 9 months later
& yet you consistently defend this with whataboutary

AI does not work. Not Apple's, not anybody's. It's a glitch-filled minefield if you use it.

Now, if you're having it do bad art, that's probably not an issue for you. My avatar is bad art, I know it's bad art, you can see it's bad art, and that's why I did it. But it's undeniably bad, and I think that's funny.

If you're using it to write legal briefs, enjoy your sanctions when it hallucinates cases. If you're using it to analyze business data, enjoy it when your company fails. If you're using it to write code, enjoy finding the bugs.

But what Apple did was incredibly stupid. They promised features they should have known that they would never be able to deliver and definitely would never be able to deliver in the promised timeframe. And THAT is what Tim Cook needs to apologize for. And yes, it would absolutely be appropriate for Cook to offer full refunds to anybody who bought an iPhone or Mac based on those promises that they knew or should have known they could not deliver.

If you think Apple marketed Apple Intelligence with their products for the hell of it and not because they expected it to sell hardware, you might misunderstand product marketing.

No one bought on iPhone 16 because of AI.

Probably, or very few people did (even though conversational Siri would have been a high point and return to former glory in a way).
However, if Apple claims that ‘this phone will have this and that feature within that period of time’ the customers can reasonably claim that they bought ‘this phone for those features’.

This article is spot on, as is John Gruber’s assessment (https://daringfireball.net/2025/03/something_is_rotten_in_the_state_of_cupertino) of where things stand with Apple as demonstrated by their lack of transparency over the Siri intelligence delays. Let’s not lose sight how prominent Apple Intelligence and the new augmented Siri features fed Mr. Cook’s underlying sells pitch for Apple’s new iPhones, Macs and iPads.

While software delays are nothing new in the tech world, using vaporware to promote new devices is disingenuous at best and a wee bit shady if Apple knew the software would not be available. In fact, at the rate things are going with iOS 18, it is likely we will not see Apple intelligence and Siri upgraded until iOS 19 with the launch of the iPhone 17, or one year after Apple’s flashy sells pitch during the WWDC 2024 announcing for the new iPhone 16.
