  • SiriGPT: Apple's chiefs hope to add full chatbot functionality to Siri, eventually

    This is my favourite line “ Apparently, Siri's poor reputation is damaging that of Apple Intelligence”.  Ya think!  Siri has been an embarrassment for at least 5 years now and it’s such a shame since Apple was the leader when they integrated SIrI and one would think with having total control over the entire HW and SW ecosystem Siri would be world class but it’s a laughingstock.  I have little faith that Apple can make Siri great by adding AI maybe just retire Siri and bring out a whole new assistant with AI.

    No need for a MacBook Pro redesign. It’s pretty much perfect in its most recent form. 

    Hopefully m5 cranks things up. But the real story with be with m6. 
    What’s expected from M6? Why is it going to be so much better?

    Ok. You got me. It may not be “so much better” depending on the choices they mske. But it’s expected to be the first apple silicon on tsmcs 2nm process, enabling a greater amount of performance per watt and run cooler. Or it could enable Apple to pack in a ton more transistors. It’s only a 1 nm difference, but even that has potential to mske a substantial difference. Then again, they could just do a die shrink with minimal design chsnges. However, at the expense of the new process, that is not likely. 


     So no difference compared to any other die shrink process node.

    I don't understand why you would stagger a iphone with the same number over a 2 year release like that 
    Math problem?   It’s 6 months between the releases.

  • Trump confirms he reduced tariffs to help Tim Cook

    As I said a long time ago, intelligent people are in charge snd apple will be ok. The president will have a way to navigate Apple through some difficult decidd add jobs. And it has come to pass. 

    Cook was wise to open the door of discussion dnd thr president has been wise in response. 

    I know it’s popular in this particular online space to detract from the president no matter what he does, but the fact is tarriffs are necessary -yet it’s sldd add o necessary to protect Americans and American companies. The idea is to put the pressure on other countries, particularly China - and not on American companies. 

    It’s not changing mindset. It’s continuing forward motion, msnuevering as needed. That’s only good stuff snd Apple is the better for it. As this year marks time for my iPhone upgrade and early next is my next Mac purchase, I am a pretty happy potential customer right about now. 
     Well said.  Most people do not comprehend what is going on with the tariff machinations.  I have said all along Trump will not harm Apple and other significant US companies. He is using very hard nosed and sometimes reckless tactics to get to his end goal.

    Tim Cook didn't "donate" that $1 million to buy a seat at the inauguration ceremony for nuthin'.

    That's how this administration works. 
    The $1M donation was no different than other Administration have done.
