What a load of utter tripe.

So basically Siri will still suck and you'll need to ask chatgpt, otherwise they wouldn't put the choice in the OS.

Genmoji is just.... give me strength

photos app is an utter abomination and PROOF the designers have all left apple.

No AI for anyone with 6GB or RAM, but but but iPhone don't need it because iOS is so smooothzzzz

Yeah not seeing the big improvement in Siri. Skeptical on that. Did see the lighting around the sides to make it look updated.

The biggest draw is the hook to ChatGPT.
 
I am so confused on this Apple ai thing. So my smart assistance (home pod) can’t even access of device Siri improvements? Same goes for my 4,5k€ 27inch iMac (final intel model) that has not even seen a true replacement in the lineup yet? You need a iPhone 15 pro to use this?

I guess my iPad Pro m1 will allow me to play a bit, but with the latest iPad jumping to m4 for the bigger neural engine I assume there’s going to be tones of restrictions?

I mean they barely had any news beyond this so they got to gatekeep to sell new product but this is just as bad as keeping the new old new option to pinch 🤏 from Apple Watchs bellow 9. Are we all supposed to replace every homepod with a new Lineup soon or what? “Replace our crappy smart assistant by spending another 100-800€ on getting a new one that otherwise dos exactly the same. We are climate neutral. lol

It's not "blowing over". EVERY SINGLE TECH COMPANY is integrating it FULLY into their products going forward.
The thing is I don't WANT this stuff. They're shoving it down our throats. I'm in a Discord right now with a bunch of tech nerds like myself and we're all railing about how stupid this is. This **** isn't popular. Wall street wants this, not real power users.
 
I noticed they brought back that tagline from the original Mac, as well. That seems to be the focus. If they make it easy to use the things that are actually useful, and improve the consistency, that’s a win. One of the biggest issues with generative AI is its inconsistency.
Other than text to Siri hardly anything they showed on screen was just typing into a blank box. Seemed more purposeful.

I was begging Apple to take my money with a new iPhone this fall and get me geeked up about iOS 18. They have failed. I want to hold onto my iPhone XS now and hopes that Apple at least pushes security updates for a couple years to it.
Oh no! Someone who spends hardly any money with Apple will continue to hardly spend any money with Apple! How will they possibly survive?!?
 
They said the word "privacy" so many times. I am not sure I believe them.
I think it’s a good focus area since it’s a big concern for a lot of people. The reaction to Microsoft Recall was largely negative.
 
I guess I’m just whelmed. Some of the AI stuff seems nice, but I worry about how this will affect natural creativity by users?

For example, the drawing of the temple in Notes. That was a pretty good drawing, and to have it zapped away with some nonexistent art seemed weird.

Most of the improvements for Siri are on-device models, that will be restricted to a few models of Macs ,iPhones, iPads. I wouldn't want confidential data to leave my device into Siri cloud. Its the price you pay for on device inference.

Yeah I felt like what it was replaced with was too good. Sure, clean up someone’s scribble but don’t turn it into detailed fake artwork.
