This shows how far behind apple are on Artificial Intelligence, they were focused on the Vision Pro.
It happens, what they need to do now is dust themselves off & be the company that brings us the next big thing.
 
Waiting to see a preview at WWDC. But have to actually use it to confirm whether Siri is actually better. Not surprised to hear that it will be available only by April of 2026 as new features are often delayed/released almost till the next version of iOS is announced.

And I don’t know why they wait till the next major iOS release before making incremental changes and upgrades to Siri. They are so far behind that they need to make them a priority to complete and release them as soon as they are ready.

Hellllooooo Apple Intelligence! Man what a flop.
There should be a class action lawsuit for everyone that bought an iPhone 16 or 16 Pro if what they demonstrated during WWDC 2024 is not fully released before iPhone 17.

The biggest advertising hype for iPhone 16 was Apple Intelligence. The capability is in beta and the majority of it is still missing. Pointless upgrade.
 
The sort of stories that remind me why I don't even bother with Apple Maps -- still -- after all these years

Thank you for sharing -- saved me the energy of even trying AM again
Street using Apple Maps since inception watching it improve it's more than delivered on is promise and highly accurate!

While using my Samsung Galaxy S23 exclusively since 8.2023 Im more than disappointed, actually livid with Google Maps!
1. Double tapping the centre icon for a directional waypoint view of qhere u face is whats in front of you is biggy as hell this past 30 days (yes i have latest OS, Gplay services updates installed).
2. Organization of saved locations: allows folders to group but you CANNOT acess the addresses saved eithin individually!
- i want to view an address saved NOT always get directions TO it damnit! Sometimes Id like to get the address copy it and past it on an sms/rcs or email or in a Tax Form maybe!!? Nope u must tap the address cancel the directions functiin try again 3x or get lycky the ui understamds your flat thumb tap is to select a specific point on the map!

SoyeahAppke Maps is a LOT better in my opinion!

Wished Apple made it for Android like the did iTunes or Apple Music for Windows!!!
 
Hellllooooo Apple Intelligence! Man what a flop.
Just look who's the captain driving the os who claimed to put aside his ignorance ans look outside and push all teams to creat A.i.

Just what exactly did you expect from him Greatness?! Hes work has continually been riding the coat tails off of greatness by every OS chief before him!

This is what you get from a cry baby that cant take critism or tough love to get the job done right to deliver beyond their own sote of capabilities!

This from the guy who wined worked at Microsoft then came back!!

This from a guy whom clearly did NOT understand FaceID before demonstrating it on stage live TWICE! Like why blame his staff for his incompetence! Thats a chicken-dodo move especially at Apple! He himself shouldve brought the test models out under a cloth connected them ensured FaceID to work with not recent logged failures!

This from a guy whos pathetic mishapp to approve MAC OS X 12 to launch with SU/SUDO with NO password for christ sakes!!!

This fron a guy that spent over half of the last 12 yr WWDC appearances trying to childoshly look cool with hair and now flamed guitars vs ACTUALLY showing off the work or prefacing the teams efforts!! No other executive in Apples history has done that level of tom foolery !!

This is what you get from a guy that watched 5 YT videos has a quick conversation NO PLAN talks about it over coffee from save hia ass Tim and badoom the mad rush is shown proof in the pudding!

Wecouldve had Siri evolve into a modern day Knowledge Navigator = understanding powerful prompting full access to the OS &Apps hsing securely enforced API's governing etc but no half stepping was cooked in.

So what did you expect!!?,

Itll take months to fix and apple will fix it but I dont want to see Craig doing no more bs interciews statements or stupid jokes and fun kiddy crap at any lunch until Siri and A.i is fixed and works beyond eveyones expectations!!! Time to work Craig earn your pay like everyone else! Sorry but the half effort Apple ans Tim should be ashamed!

And they kicked out Forstall because of what?!
Maps initially was terrible?! Vectors was not provided accurately tot he software dev team not his nor thr teams fault!
What because Forstall was mean? Pushed for more effort?! That gave us Time Machine ios iphone ipad push notifications with Cue's team help on stability on the latter. So what all that was NOT worth keeping him?!

No i think he was TOO close to CEO considerstion and maybe words were spoken and Steve changed his decision and the board chose Tim. Not sorry but he was a MUCH better SW engineer than Craig.

And remeber Craig contradicted himself on an ioS feature launch 7yrs after making fun of it on Android!!!

Let that sink in.
No lies no exaggeration and only 5 opinions NON of which was specific to history (just 1 opinion referemced it 1984 K Navigator)
 
My nephew came over today for a family gathering and showed us Gemini at work on his android phone. Wow. Just… Wow! Siri, I love you, honey. We’ve been together for years now and I’m loyal to you. But you have got a lot of work to do, babe. You need to tell daddy Craig to throw absolutely all of his resources at your disposal on your behalf immediately because other assists are making you look like a newborn babe in arms. You need to get on it right now, chick. Come out with both guns shooting at 18.4, not 19.

This is a disaster if true.

The iphone 16 was sold as the premier apple intelligence platform. Now we are nearly a year away from the announcement of apple intelligence and half way to the iphone 17 and so far people have to be on beta releases to see even a glimmer of anything useful. Now rumors are the real core of apple intelligence, a siri overhaul, is still way off.

This is going to convert some of the apple faithful into skeptics and create backlash.
