    This is going to be pretty interesting, despite seeming far behind Apple is very well positioned to benefit from the AI developments. Apple has an opportunity for deep integration of AI features into the operating systems as well as offline compute through specialised silicon design that no other company really has.

    Better late than never.

    But even more interesting than when is whether this uses local AI models or if this becomes again a data protection trust sink.

    One thing Apple is good at is waiting until the market is ripe and then releasing a better product. Like mp3 players, phones, tablets, etc.

      Except Siri keeps getting worse every year. In terms of actual usefulness, connectivity issues and plain old voice recognition.

        And it seems to not be just Siri. Every Alexa device in my house has gotten more deaf and more stupid. But yes Siri has declined recently I agree.

          Add google assistant to the list. I remember it being great back in 2018 and now it struggles to do basic things like “set a timer”

        In my experience it’s not really getting worse, it’s just not getting substantially better either.
