So the Memory Movies are coming to macOS? Glad to hear that, it’s my only device that supports apple intelligence.
 
GenMoji and Memory Movies. Apple lives in a world of people doing nothing in life, just fun. Photo, mom that arrives at the airport, sport, yoga, tv series. A wrong message and a bad attitude. If it is just for fun, at least give us something that understand when we ask for a specific song in natural language! It's almost 10 yrs that we are yellin' song titles at the phone!

Not surprised. Many of them will be available only by April 2025. Anyway glad to see the rollout of Apple intelligence beginning next week.

At some point, some of those features will be part of "apple intelligence 2" and only work on newer iPhones with 12GB of ram (not launch yet).

Also the features that request server side, only of paid iCloud subscriptions.
 
I would just like navigation to work. I’m now on developer 18.2 and when I say navigate or go to work it doesn’t understand me. With 18.1 it wouldn’t navigate home but would take me to work. Ugh. :eek:
 
One thing to bear in mind is that not only does Apple have to get the software right it also has to build the secure cloud data centres to do the Apple based processing on the custom servers.

Staggering the feature releases over a few months and requiring a wait list allows them to scale these up in a controlled manner to meet demand rather than rate limiting the use of Apple Intelligence.
Except the USP of many of Apple's AI models is that they run entirely on-device.
 
Interesting, a lot of marketing for iPad Pro M4s was on Apple Intelligence. The devices likely won't even be able to fully use it, but it may fully release just in time for the NEXT iPad Pros that release with more RAM to be useful with AI!
 
I’ve been wondering how Apple has gotten by (unchallenged) running these Apple Intel TV commercials making it sound like the new iPhones already have AI. Not even a small and hard-to-read explanation at the end of the commercial.
 
The only feature I care about is contextual AI. Most of the features being released seem gimmicky - images, emoji's, etc. In order to accomplish contextual AI successfully, 'the system' will need to know an awful lot about you - full access. If it only knows bits and pieces, it won't have the full context and be less useful. Having said that, you don't want just any system to know that much information about you unless there is a ton of privacy. I appreciate the framework that Apple is striving for. The idea of 'agents' is part of the future of AI. If you want a personal agent, it will be most useful if it knows what you've done, what you're doing, what you're going to do, what your preferences are, dislikes, etc. - then you have a true personal assistant.
 
Even Apple doesn't seem particularly excited about their AI crap anymore. They were throwing it at us just a few months ago and now they don't want to really talk about it. It's going to go the same way as Vision Pro.....released but quickly forgotten about.
 
Sounds like Apple is playing catch up...still. They were late to the AI game, had to rush out this announcement, couldn't even have it out in time for the new iPhone release, and are still only dropping certain features at a time.

They are really behind the competition here. I also believe they are having issues with getting the features to work themselves (may not have the talented AI engineers) hence why they need way more time

I wouldn't call it behind if the competition is equally useless.

An excellent strategy by Apple.

It really sad that many here believe that's just another opportunity to take a swing at Apple for being incompetent and not knowing what they're doing.

Agreed. And that’s why I don’t want a personal assistant. Siri and AI will remain turned off - at least to the extent that I will be able to make that happen going forward.

The language delay is so damn lazy. They are a multi-trillion company, if they really wanted to they could implement AI in way more languages way quicker.

Norwegian only got basic iOS features like autocorrect and swiping this year with iOS 18, despite being so similar to Swedish/Danish that a quick search-replace operation on a wordlist from a dictionary would be enough for a single engineer to implement Norwegian in a week.
 
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!
Siri has been slow forever, it reminds me of using an old dial phone.
