Apple shareholders sue over Siri delays and massive losses
What makes you think Apple will lead in AI? Sure, anything’s possible, but as of now, there’s no real indication that they’re heading in that direction. Apple is excellent when it comes to hardware integration, but their track record with cloud services hasn’t been as strong as Google, Microsoft and other companies. Now they are also behind them with AI. What would make this time different for Apple?coolfactor said:
What about the millions of dollars they've already made from AAPL?
What about the millions they will make in the future when Apple rises to the top of the AI market? It will happen.
Why bite the hand that feeds you? Selfish creatures.

Craig Federighi says macOS would ruin what makes the iPad special
I remember when Apple said about touch screen notebooks "We've done tons of user testing on this and it turns out it doesn't work. Touch surfaces don't want to be vertical. It gives great demo, but after a short period of time you start to fatigue, and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off." Now we have iPads with Magic Keyboards being used with vertical touch screens.StrangeDays said:
It’s not their goal, or secret plan. You’re just not listening to what they clearly explain as their position, because you don’t want it to be. You’re using magical thinking. The notion that they don’t have the “foundations” ready despite years of answering this question over and over is simply absurd.avon b7 said:Those are extremely poor arguments IMO.
…
Apple is already inching (but agonisingly slowly) towards convergence in certain areas and my guess is that that is the real goal at some point (including touchscreen Macs of course).
…
IMO, that is probably the real reason Apple wants to temper the desire for 'macOS tablet' at the moment. They don't have the foundations ready.
Reality: touch-enable laptops exist today and nobody cares because it sucks. EOS. It’s out there. I had one 10 years ago, it sucked, never used it, don’t miss it.
Giving a touch device optional shortcuts for mouse & pointer use is inherently different (and better for it) than giving a pointer device optional touch.
That you keep insisting its their secret plan just reaffirms that you still don’t understand Apple and its product lines very well. Sounds like you’re more happy with the chinese knockoffs and that’s fine.
Anyway. Once more, years later:

I also remember when Apple said ""Our competition is confused. They are turning tablets into PCs and PCs into tablets. Who knows what they're going to do next?" And now we have Apple making iPads as PC's. Looks like Apple is confused too.
Maybe Apple will not make macOS optimized for touchscreens, but it seems that iPadOS is making the move to make it similar to a PC / Surface Pro device. In every update they are making iPadOS the toaster / fridge device they criticize many years ago.

Mac dominated AI-capable PC market in 2024 despite Windows growth
Apple Silicon does offer some impressive advantages, however, when it comes to Apple Intelligence, the impact might not seem as significant, especially compared to what other companies are doing in AI.danox said:Apple designs an engineers, both hardware and software in house. They have always been able to do more with less tech bureaucracy hanging about particularly with the introduction of the M1 Mac’s with Apple Silicon an advantage which will continue into to the future….. -
Mac dominated AI-capable PC market in 2024 despite Windows growth
I could agree with you if you are talking just about writing tools. But as a whole, Copilot do more and is more advanced compared to AI.Xed said:
1) I think both the title and article are clear. I see no ambiguity with the phrasing "AI-capable PC market."ITGUYINSD said:This headline makes me laugh. It infers people are buying more Macs than PC's because of AI when in fact, it just happens all Mac's are AI-capable whereas all PC's are not.
I don't think most people buy a Mac or PC for it's AI capabilities (some do, but not most).
Not to mention (the article certainly didn't) that Apple's AI (Apple Intellegence) is far behind most other players in the AI space.
2a) Why evidence do you have that shows that Apple Intelligence in macOS is far behind Copilot in Windows? I've used both and don't see Windows being ahead in PC OS comparisons.
2b) If you want to include 3rd-party AI options, all of those are available cross platform. I do use ChatGPT quite often for finding solutions to Windows issues these days as it speeds up my searching quite a bit so I don't have to read forms or Windows verbose documentation.
2c) I'm hoping that Apple incorporates Deepseek but I assume they have a contract with ChatGPT that won't allow a 3rd-party competitor to be included.
In Excel you can analyze spreadsheets, create formulas, and even use Python for advanced data manipulation.
In PowerPoint you can create presentations from just a description or a file is such a time-saver.
In OneDrive: Being able to ask, summarize, or compare documents without opening them.These are just some examples that come to my mind. Based in what I'm seeing today, Copilot is much better than AI, We'll see what Apple does in the future and if they catch up with MS.
