16 Pro is going to be pretty useless till about 6 months later.
This is why I'm actually probably going to wait for the 17. Originally was looking to upgrade to 16 Pro after WWDC for these AI features, but now rumors of a physical redesign and more RAM make it worth waiting it out to me. 16 Pro not that much different than my 14 Pro without these AI features in the first 6 months, but a potential slimmer iPhone 17 that can run localized AI features (with add'l ram to make the experience smoother) is very appealing to me. Plus I know that I'll probably FOMO hard for any physical redesign after seeing essentially the same phone for the last few generations.
 
Nobody should be holding their breath to try iOS 18 ChatGPT integration either.
Currently, it can be difficult to connect to ChatGPT servers. Servers are slammed. No connection.
Add 100 million iPhones to that next year & there’s gunna be some waiting- long waiting

Naw, they'll see the request coming from the free Apple services and it will be routed to the old intel pentium that someone forgot to remove from the rack.
 
Pushing all this AI that won’t even be useful until next year was the only way for them to sell these new iPads with the same crappy iPadOS limited feature box.
 
Not at all surprising. WWDC 24 was an investor call disguised as a dev event. A working demo is very far from a releasable product. Siri 2.0 can't be Siri redux. Apple know they can't screw this up again.
 
Siri generates its responses in the Cloud anyway. Can anyone explain to me why the Apple Watch, the HomePod, and older devices cannot receive an answer from the 'new' Siri? Is Apple really keeping the dumb Siri around just for those devices? What is the point?

the company holding off for a new "AI-powered table-top robot."
LOL! Who is steering the ship? Is anyone there paying attention? Seems the executive team have their eyes stuck inside AVP headsets oblivious to what is going on around them.

 
Siri was a great concept when it was released, but it did not have the underlying technology to support it. Times of changed. Let’s hope that Apple takes advantage of it.
 
What I am hoping is that Apple releases new Siri Apple intelligence starting in September bit by bit and doesn’t wait until next year and release it all at once. I’ve waited many years, as have others for a decent Siri upgrade and we’d like to see some improvement sooner rather than later.

Apple seems to be promising that Siri will be overhauled and much better with AI. If that turns out of be true, that’s fantastic. But, either way, I find myself uninterested. I didn’t need a personal assistant when Siri was introduced and I don’t need one now. But that’s just me.
 
Might as well have just waited until iOS 19, and here I thought we’d be getting something this summer in the betas, so far nothing, zero ai anything and I don’t expect anything until the middle of next year now.

I’m hearing the reason they cancelled the Apple car was because it was actually steam powered and made out of wood.
 
SEC should initiate an investigation and ask Craig and Tim to answer why they announce something and mislead the public about when it will be available.
How did they mislead the public? They never said when it would be available. And they haven’t said now it isn’t coming until 2025. This is just a rumor.

I think they might have overcooked this one (pun intended).

AI is dying rapidly. Investors are pulling out because the promised gains aren’t materialising and the costs are not something we can engineer our way out of trivially as the promoters promised.

It’s another blockchain.

Market collapse by EOY is my bet. Then they will scale this down to improved Siri and some text review stuff and that’s it.

You could not be more misguided. Why are so many people afraid of AI?

It always was if you have a 13 or newer model.
I have older and still not enough, its still an iphone running the same iOS 🥱. I prefer iOS over android so I am glad theres never a real need to upgrade a $1200 phone much.

The last big enough improvement for me was the massively improved low light photography (copied from google pixel line). AI was looking like it might do it but if this delay is until mid 2025 might as well wait for the 17 iPhones
