Someone who “made what Apple is” is not necessarily the same as the person who can make Apple what it can be. 

Cook needs to make a graceful exit, and soon. Otherwise he runs the risk of acquiring Ballmer status…

No lies involved, simply a delay in feature rollout due to last minute issues requiring reworking to fix.  The ad clearly said “coming in a future update”.  Apple never said that was currently possible with the public version of Siri, they said it will eventually be possible with a future software update, and there is absolutely no reason to believe that isn’t still the case…  Apple says they anticipate rolling out the features within the next year.  Now that they’re done whining about how bad the iPhone 16e supposedly is because it doesn’t have MagSafe, these tech writers need a new artificial scandal to whine about.  And so they’ve turned a simple delay of feature rollout into claims of Apple “lying”, “misleading”, claiming the features “never existed”, were “never under development”, etc., when there’s zero evidence for any of those claims, and zero reason to believe them…  We actually have many good reasons to believe Apple is developing these features, and simply ran into last minute issues that will require a delay.  For one, Gurman cited internal sources numerous times about the features when saying they would release in 18.4, and then later when he said they were potentially looking at a delay to 18.5.  I’m really getting sick and tired of tech writers making claims like this with absolutely zero evidence.  It’s wrong to falsely accuse companies and/or people of “lying” and such when there is absolutely no evidence to support those accusations.  It’s merely someone’s conjecture, and much of this comes across like school children throwing tantrums because they didn’t get what they wanted right now this instant and will have to wait…

TLDR...

Did you mean to post this in the newer thread discussion?

When I look at Apple, I look at how they are actually doing against other competition. But also look at the competition and what they are actually doing or accomplishing particularly profit-wise and if they have any actual marketshare gains.

Apple OS Level software, including MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, Apple WatchOS, and Apple VisionOS, versus Microsoft and Google current offerings (not behind in this area of computing what else is even close).

Product design hardware and software integration SOC design in Engineering, Apple Silicon, C1 modem, R1 and various other support chips created to further their lead in this area in comparison to the competition. (Dead Motorola, IBM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm me-too Google, Meta and Nvidia). Whose shoes among this menagerie would you want to be in? (Apple behind don’t think so).

Apple is the last vertical computer company left over from the golden age of the 1980s. (OS/Hardware companies) the present competition wait there isn’t any Linux? Microsoft? (Apple isn’t behind in this area)

Ecosystem creation from the ground up in comparison to their competition over the last 25 years, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Samsung, and Qualcomm. Apple is peerless in this area. None of these companies are even in the same ballpark they have basically failed to extend themselves out of their own sandbox with any type marketshare penetration or more importantly a profit. (Apple isn’t behind in this area of computing).

AI computing the current buzz word these days, once again, who in this menagerie of AI is ahead whatever that means most of Apple so-called competition can’t design their way out of a paper bag when it comes to the combination of hardware and software, and they certainly don’t have the best in class SOC’s or the choice of five different operating systems (ecosystems) in house like Apple. 

None have Apple Silicon hardware nor the OS capability in house across many popular computing ecosystems like Apple, so how can they be ahead? How can Apple be doing worse in comparison to their so-called competition? Answer Apple isn’t.

The criticism towards Apple (includes me over the years), is somewhat misplaced. Many people are frustrated, maybe by the speed and where Apple releases their products, I have been over the years, very vocal about the big screen, iMac and Apple, not getting into servers since they’re introduction of Apple Silicon particularly now that the opportunity to gain mind share in this so-called new era of AI. Lots of very smart people are looking to use and get into this area of computing more importantly they’re looking for solutions hardware wise to allow them to participate in this so-called new area of computing, an area that Apple is perfectly positioned (no one else is even close with Apple‘s combination of OS software and class leading hardware mobile/desktop in house) to take advantage of with Apple Silicon once again in comparison to their competition IBM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Google, Meta, Nvidia and nameless minions.

Another area in which Apple is peerless is the ability to run on the edge hardware wise most of their competition is still gearing up to phone home with all of their so-called AI solutions, once again Apple Silicon is leading away in terms of allowing Apple in combination with their software and hardware to operate on the edge in mobile on the go or on the desktop once again, who else can accomplish this today or in the next year it’s not Microsoft, Google, Meta, Nvidia, Intel, or Qualcomm. (The Microsoft/Qualcomm team up was an abysmal failure by the way).

Apple behind their peers/competition I don’t think so not when it comes to the big picture one other area Apple is ahead in they haven’t squandered billions of dollars (paying OpenAI) trying to set up a moat around AI, the advent of DeepSeek and other programs like it in the future along with Apple Silicon products will break down that moat similar to the Wintel combination breaking down Digital, Cray, Sun Computers, IBM, and SGI and the rest of the main frame mini computer market.
