Honestly, I don't mind they will take time to release these features - what annoys the heck out of me is that Apple has been advertising this on all their ads since September 2024 - get a 'Verizon Phone with Apple Intelligence' and it is vaporware - nowhere to be found (yes, it is in BETA).

Stop advertising the Apple Intelligence until you actually release it. I see a class action coming soon.
If you go into Apple stores you will see Apple intelligence all over their walls. It's ridiculous
 
Shrugs. I won't upgrade my iPhone 14 Pro Max until 2025 either. Hopefully by the time the 17s are coming out all the Apple Intelligence features will be out.

In general I think every three years is good. Gives enough time for some meaningful updates to accumulate. I went from the 13 pro to 16 pro and will very likely update next with the 19. I updated every year for the first four iPhones but they finally reached a point where they could do most of what I needed and I didn't have such a need for yearly updates.
 
It will never NOT be funny that Apple released a bunch of new products advertised as having "Apple Intelligence" in 2024, only for so many of those features to not be available until 2025. :p

For all of Google's and Samsung's many missteps, they at least had their AI features ready to go as soon as their 2024 flagships were, well... shipped. I guess Apple just really wanted to Think Different. :apple:
 

Dictation not working after update to iOS 18.2​


Is anyone else have issues with dictation after updating to iOS 18.2? Dictation stopped working it makes the noise but that’s it nothing else it turns off seconds after it starts.

then again, they will have a good part of those available only a month after the iPhone 16 came out. It certainly isn't uncommon for companies to have different timetables for hardware vs software.
 
This is actually a smart move by Apple. They saw the debacle of the initial release of Google's Gemini AI and don't want a repeat of that disaster.
Google is getting millions from Gemini, Apple hasn’t even come out with an AI, they’ll be using ChatGPT — whenever that rolls out.
 
Apple is behind with AI, but I don't think it really matters. They are not competing in the LLM space. They are just looking for AI driven enhancements. This roll out will give everyone plenty to play with and most people won't even think about the timing. There's so much hype around AI that Apple might actually benefit from not being first.
 
Disappointed with the ChatGPT interrogation into Siri so far. It gives rather brief answers and takes a second or 2 longer compared to the ChatGPT mac app..... Might as well just use the ChatGPT mac app!

I love how they are selling the iPhone 16 with the Apple Intelligence and you won’t get it all until next year. If you want the 16 for that, you’re better off waiting for the iPhone 17.
This is very true. Never buy a product based on promised features. I’m perfectly happy with my iPhone 14 PM and don’t see anything the new iPhone has that would interest me. Maybe with the iPhone 17 it will be perfect because that’s a three year upgrade cycle.
 
Maybe it's just me being old and codgery but A-ai just doesn't grab me as a needed or useful feature. It just seems like "Well everyone else is doing ai stuff we may as well too." to me.

If it's useful or interesting to others then I hope you enjoy them. As for me I'll probably be turning them off for the time being.
 
I have Siri turned off and that’s the way I plan to keep It. I don’t want Siri “learning” more about me and I don’t need its new questionable skills.
