The MacRumors Show: iOS 18.2 Ramps Up Apple Intelligence

[Fuzzball84]

Hi! Content suggestion / request.

What I would appreciate seeing is a table that summarizes the Apple Intelligence rollout.

Ex., Column A shows what features have been announced, and Column B shows the date they were made available or are projected to become available. And complimenting that, is more information below the table that goes into more detail or links to existing articles that do.

I was envisioning it’s own separate page like the product round ups, with highlighted updates, and is linked/referred to at the bottom of each Apple Intelligence update article so people know it exists.

I believe that would help readers understand and digest how this rollout is shaping up.

The fact that we need more tables is concerning. Apple stuff just used to work and was simple. Now it’s becoming a mess. The number of pencils is the least of their problems.

From what I can see, Apple were caught out by surprise on the general direction of flow by other companies in AI. Despite having their SoC contain neural processing capabilities since the A11, they now have a hard cut off of Apple Intelligence features that are available on some devices but not others. If they had been forward planning for years, they could have made it more gradual. But I guess this is also a way to sell more devices too… who knows. But as per the naming of devices, it’s another hot mess of their own making.

I imagine in a few years time someone new will come in, or indeed Apple Intelligence itself will advise on reducing the number of models in each category, and useless accessories.

I wonder if Apple Intelligence will let them know that on their website for the iPhone SE they say it has the same processor as the iPhone 13, a phone they no longer sell 😂

People who dislike piecemeal releases should ignore the partial releases and wait until it's all done.

Can leave Apple anytime if are unhappy.

Can leave Apple anytime if are unhappy.

Exactly but I have a variety of devices. Windows, Linux, Mac.. each has pluses and negatives. Although Apple make some excellent hardware and the software is pretty good too. They pretend to be targeted at prosumers but it comes across as dumb most the time.

Like I’d rather go to technical support than genius bar 😂 Apple Intelligence is just another dumb name given to something that could have been called something far more professional.
