It will take them years and years to implement this. They were late years ago. Look at Samsung and their AI implementation, its much more fun and works today.
I would agree, if we would not know this:
Even if you are not visiting any Facebook page or affiliate site, their cookies will infest you: 100% just like Google does.
They don't ask for permission ! It might run in the background...
And this so called "Intelligence" is the hungriest data kraken ever.
You never know who sold and bought your data ... ( 👀 )
That's why I don't upgrade to 18. Will get back to a non-smartphone in 25 🧐
you dont need a smart phone to be tracked... you connect to a network for signal, they know where you are from your SIM ID.
drive? cameras on highways log rego.
pay with tap or card?
even VPNs are always secure...
face it, we have no privacy if someone wants to know a lot about you.
i've not seen one person using a Samsung phone show someone else "hey look at what my AI phone can do".
then again i dont think ive seen a flip phone in the wild either.
seeing them in store with a crease is still enough to put people off. and the price (although you wait a short while and get 30% off every year once initial demand is done).
Hope we'll see this soon in Europe as well.
I'm especially interested in the macOS implementation.

Apple Intelligence was never delayed. It was stated specifically at WWDC that it will not launch with iOS 18 and will be in beta in the fall. Having AI in 18.1 beta this early will hopefully allow the full launch by October.
"Apple Intelligence is free for users, and will be available in beta as part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia this fall in U.S. English" [1]

Exactly if anything this is a good signs
Funny thing is that Apple always told us that 8GB is enough - esp for Macbooks. And Apple will continue to sell 8GB Macs ...

Will not launch in 8.0 and ship with iPhone which his September, will be 8.1 "weeks later", and even then won't be complete with the Siri AI features.
It's also atypical for Apple to beta test 8.1 before even a 8.0 RC.
Actually I don't use Siri. Sorry that nobody can want a better product from your beloved fruit company....
Because then when the 17 comes out they can use that as a selling point. The Apple way. It is sad when sub $300 android devices have the same/more ram as apple's flagship devices...
It's a bit of a moot point as a significant portion of current iPhone users will be unable to use the product anyway, and the onerous cost of an applicable device will keep most away for some time.
Then there will be those who have a capable device, but look for the switch to turn it off.

You can just turn it off. This was confirmed by Craig in his Daring Fireball interview during WWDC.
Nobody is going to notice any of that.
- Wifi is already fast enough.
- I doubt the base and plus will get Apple Intelligence.
- Cameras have always been bad on smartphones.
- Samsung has AMOLED screens on their flagship phones that are still better than Apple's.
- More efficient processor, with those above features, eating away at any battery life gains.
- I doubt they use a stacked battery. Apple will try to make the phone thinner.
- 30W charging is already fast enough, and most charge overnight.
How about:
- AMOLED screens.
- Under display fingerprint sensor.
- Anti-glare display/nano-texture.
- An iPhone Ultra, similar to that of the Watch Ultra.
- A stylus holster and mini "Apple Pencil" integration - similar to the S24 Ultra.
- 200 MP Camera with 100x Zoom
- 120 refresh rate on all models.
- A phone thick enough to get rid of the ugly camera bump.
It's really not.
You're confusing window management with multitasking. Multitasking is quite a bit better on macOS (gestures, spaces management, preserving window states, etc). And while native window managment is worse, I still haven't found a powerful app for on Windows like BetterTouchTool that allows for such customizability of window managements (and input options in general).
The way macOS handles resolution insures consistency, unlike Windows which still struggles with hidpi in certain apps. It has gotten better in time, but there are pros and cons to both approaches.
You have also missed design consistency, memory management, 3rd party app quality, etc.
However, the biggest thing is how things are thought out. The way it works. 1000 of little details. It's subjective, but if you care about detail, Windows really can't compete.
Gotta have time to build all the new natural gas electricity plants needed to support wide-scale use of AI. Also, in Washington state, the utilities commission is going to need the "feather in" the rate increases we (consumers) will need to pay to support this... "Privitise costs, socialize expenses".

Some Washington utility officials might face a daunting choice: violate a state green energy law limiting fossil fuel use or risk rolling blackouts.

Apple Intelligence is a radical change for the company. I wouldn't be surprised that we have to wait for iOS 18.2 in late November to get it implemented.
If Apple had offered something really compelling for the iPhone 16 (based on latest rumors) over the 15 or even 14, I would agree with you that AI would not be the most important driver. But as of right now, especially if you take out AI features, I don't really see any major catalyst for me to upgrade to the 16 from my 14.
I do not see a RAM increase on iPhones for at least another 5-years. 8 GB will be the standard. Apple's AI is great, but it's only 1% of the whole OS.
As far as Ai, 12GB of RAM does seem to be the peak, however Samsung's Galaxy S21 will be oldest supported device for Galaxy AI. The S21 and S21+ both have 8GB of RAM with the S21 Ultra having 12GB/16GB being the exception.
Less than 1% of smartphones ship with above 12GB.
