Yeah, the end of Apple is near. Now where have we heard that before? Oh right, forever since April 1, 1976.
It will not come to China ether as Apple did not get approval or integrated any local solution. It is on Apple to work within the laws of each country and they are failing miserably with AI. In smaller countries like the US ChatGPT API calls will work as well but not in China either so double fail.
So, Apple got immensely behind on AI features, like generative fill on pictures, Siri and so on and according to 9to5 Mac the first features it will introduce, a month after iPhone 16 launch, will be “genmoji”.
Someone needs to slap them in the face, seriously. The management is completely out of touch, dumber than a rock.

AI is just the current industry boondoggle.
Metaverses, virtual assistants, blockchains, big data, etc.
AI will be another promise that will just fall short, another trend that each company has to basically say “us too” otherwise they’ll lose investor confidence.

Why wait? Some of the AI features will be available this fall. The rest of the AI features should land in the spring. Why push this out further? Just to have a nice tidy release package? I’d rather have the features when they are ready.
LLM AI tech is a natural fit for improved translation. I would expect a major upgrade to the translation app next year.
Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if it were delayed in perpetuity.
They used to try to get all of the features into the #.0 release and often the paint wasn’t dry and things were not stable. In the last few years, they have relaxed that a little and release the features when they are ready later in the fall or in the following spring. In most cased the results have been more stable than cramming it all into the launch release.
Yeah just wait till the 17 for a smoother AI experience, it will be worth the wait. It will be too many software bugs when it rolls out initially
Who could have guessed it? Artificial Intelligence appleified has a good chance to fail in competing against the AI features requested in chinese markets and delivered by Android, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI.
Apple will need another year, so we will see the first true AI version with the iP17.

With OSX they never had an annual release date either and would release it when it was ready. Why? Because the major OS releases were paid for so they HAD to be good. Now they're only releasing OS updates to lock users in and without the need to be good enough for people to pay for they can release any old crap.
I have a cousin working with Apple Engineering, the instability issues caused by the 8GB of RAM or less.
Something went wrong when they initiated his brain download into the Apple Intelligence AI Chip.
Well not even that, only the US version of English. Those of us in UK where we use real English will have to wait 😉
So will kind of be weird because iOS 18 is also still in beta so if they push people to testing 18.1, who’s going to test and report bugs with 18?
I always have a good laugh with comments like these.
If you own an iPhone, you've used AI for sure but you just didn't know about it. iOS has had AI for years already.
Siri is pretty much entirely AI - although very old models.
Photos uses AI to detect people and objects, isolate the background, and with those automatic edits.
Camera uses AI a lot to process your shots.
Mail uses AI for spam - although this doesn't seem to work well at all.
Apple Card uses AI to have a clear label where you bought stuff.
Apple uses AI internally quite a lot to build Maps faster from satellite shots.
Apple Music karaoke features, like instrumental track isolation is purely AI. Lyrics features are also built with AI internally, no way Apple times those lyrics from millions of songs just by themselves.
And I could go on and on...

The good part for Apple is that they can charge higher without having to get sued for the technology they are unsure of during the release, by mentioning AI capable iPhone !! Charge higher for the hardware and keep the software beta. You get the benefits of both that it had released the new feature and also increased the cost, but buyers won't bother Apple Support since it will be in beta. You save enormous money on NOT supporting the software!
I think Apple is being careful by taking their time. OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Google, etc are all burning cash on making AI very accessible. None of them seems to have any idea how they are going to make it sustainable and make money any time soon. Nvidia are the only ones making out right now by selling the hardware to build these data centers that consume more power and water than a small city.
None of these companies have a clue how to talk about AI to consumers either. The TV spot Google is running with the Olympics of a dad asking Gemini to write a letter for his daughter to a famous Olympian is pure cringe. Going to the AI instead of encouraging your kid to use their own words/voice, or, worse, just denying them the chance to have that voice, says everything about how out of touch these tech companies are.
The truth is, the AI features that 95% of people will want are what Apple has been or will be running on device. I think Apple prefers to focus on how AI and ML make how you use/experience their products better. Everyone else’s approach seems to be to alienate everyone by constantly claiming AI is just better at everything.
