The narrative does not address the root cause for why Apple is where it is at the moment. Siri was groundbreaking when it launched and it seems like some of the execs at Apple just dont get it. My money is on Craig being one of them given how the software side has been lagging behind the hardware side in evolution.

I dont think he is right about an M5 version of the existing Vision Pro form factor this year. Borderline clickbait.
Why only update the SoC of a low volume form factor where the SoC is not the main gripe from users? If there is an updated Vision Pro this year than it will have an updated more light weight and easier to wear form factor.

Apple has a list of pain points that they can address than will make the device even better. 

Johny Srouji and the team are GOATed.

Honestly just knock it out of the park year on year for so long. I cant imagine how hard this must be to continuously do.

Absolutely loved the haptic trailer and super clever and novel use of the tech.

For me this is Apple at its best. Clever, elegant and cool. Hopefully we see more of this 

Personally I think Apple is playing with fire and for most production use cases are way way behind or irrelevant in AI.

I use Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT and Grok (plus local models with the outstanding Apple MLX framework running on the beautiful M series Apple Silicon) along with a series of other models and services like Veo3, Midjourney etc.
All models have pros and cons and different "personalities" if one can call it that.

These services solve real problems for me and has transformed my productivity. When reasoning models trickled through another jolt of uplift of outcomes and frankly my main constraint is that my use case ideation process is too slow to fully use the vast capabilities.

Google IO was a mic drop of awesome. Apple is behaving like AI is an add-on when AI has already become integrated into a large set of use cases for daily life and business processes. The MLX crew are continuously knocking it out of the park but feels like an engineer led sideshow rather than strategy.

Apple's narrative that AI Siri is not good enough for Apple yet is just nonsense when their operational Siri stinks. I think most customers would take a half baked AI Siri over the current Siri. Perfect getting in the way of good.
