It must be sad to be forced to use garbage software for over 10 years.
I wasn't suggesting the end of Apple is near. Don't know where you got that from. I was simply saying Apple is behind when it comes to AI.
I'm fully aware of all the background ai, I'm referring to Siri-style and ChatGPT chat style ai.
I don't use Siri. I've had it disabled for a while now and I don't use automatic image adjustment/manipulation.

This is just the usual excuse for Apple. "They take their time and do it right!". It's true to a degree but people just say this to cover up for Apple being behind. I'll give it to Apple that they had an NPU in their laptops before the likes of Qualcomm/AMD and but we've never really had a proper AI use until 18.1 apparently.
Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Nvidia all have products out there you can use. I think Nvidia is quite impressive on the gaming side of things. DLSS/Frame gen on RTX cards is super cool. They are using AI to generate resolution and frames in real time for games. With the latest versions of DLSS it is just as good if not better than native resolution and frame gen has really impressive low latency with basically no visual artifacts to the average person.
Microsoft Co-pilot being built into Windows is really useful too. It's a bit slow as it uses the cloud but it has improved a lot recently. I can't speak about how it runs on those Copilot+ systems.
So I wouldn't really agree that Apple is the only one doing it right or doing something that people care about.
Water isn’t wet tho. It only makes everything it touches wet.
Having Siri for another year is frustrating. (Siri e.g. still isn't able to play my own music library on homepods, can't understand many things in german language, has bugs,....).
How can a company - this big and rich - miss this train so hard?

Do we still expect no ram increase for the 16 pro’s? If last years phone is the bare minimum for ai, why would they release a new phone in September that’s obsolete before it even comes out?

We will look back and realise that waiting an extra year or so will mean little in the greater scheme of things.
Investors Are Suddenly Getting Very Concerned That AI Isn't Making Any Serious Money
An increasing number of Silicon Valley investors and Wall Street analysts are starting to ring the alarm bells over the money spent on AI.

Most people are not upgrading their phones yearly, but coming from a phone that is 2-4 years old. All those cumulative changes represent a pretty significant upgrade after all this time, especially when you include other stuff from previous iPhones.
Translation from English to English? Apple will introduce their AI exclusively in English next year.
On a serious note, let's see what happens, because not offering a wide variety of languages is no longer a joke.
"A few things" being overall stability (both are good, but Windows is better), external monitor support, external drive support, multitasking (well the latest public beta of MacOS finally brings something resembling proper window management although still not on par with Windows and Linux), proper font scaling that doesn't require changing systemwide display resolution (still to this day I can't get over this atrocious UX direction), clipboard history, and pen support. I may have missed a few things. Oh and there's WSL.
Apple is definitely better at phone and tablet integration, out of the box color calibration, a somewhat "smart" assistant (although now with Copilot it's questionable who has an edge there), out of the box eye candy, and HomeKit integration.
Perhaps because that’s what most business software ran on ?
The iPhone 16 may as well be called "US Edition" as its going to have nothing exciting for anyone else. I'm on iPhone 12 and was going to upgrade to the newest this year but whats the point if I'm outside US.
Who cares? It’s more important they get it right.
Apple Intelligence will miss its initial expected launch date to give Apple more time to fix bugs, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports.
According to individuals with knowledge about Apple's plans, the company now plans to start rolling out Apple Intelligence in software updates by October, arriving several weeks after the launch of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. This means that Apple Intelligence will now effectively be split out of the initial launch of the new software updates. The reason for the delay is said to be concern about the stability of Apple Intelligence features and need for developers to have sufficient testing time.
Apple Intelligence will still be made available to software developers for the first time as soon as next week with the first betas of iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, which would be extremely unusual as the company does not normally release previews of follow-up software updates until the first version has been released.
Gurman notes that the new release strategy for Apple Intelligence means that the iPhone 16 lineup will likely launch without Apple Intelligence features and require a software update to obtain them at a later date. The company is now said to be aiming to have development of iOS 18.0 completed by the end of July.
Even when Apple Intelligence arrives with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, it will be missing aspects such as the overhauled version of Siri that uses on-device data to answer questions and understands what is on a user's screen. These features are expected to arrive in the first half of 2025.

I personally want Siri but I've also disabled it because it totally sucks. When we'll finally have Apple Intelligence in French, 2026 or something with all those delays, I might re-enable it back.
Disclaimer : I tried Siri in both French and English and it sucks as much in both languages. There's just no way to love this thing.
Well, do you still plan to upgrade to an iPhone next year when Apple Intelligence is finally supported in your region, or do you see yourself switching to an android phone?
NFTs and MetaVerse...We will look back and realise that waiting an extra year or so will mean little in the greater scheme of things.

And curved TVs and 3D glasses TVs...
how many people buy games and have Day 1 patches and STILL poor playing or missing features for months?
by then the game reputation is trashed.
better to soft release and get it working rather than build the hype so much it cant deliver.
