  • How hard is it to break into the Apple coding world?

    michelb76michelb76
    Developing for Apple is great if you have a good friend that works at Apple as a developer or when you don't need documentation or have to work with the multitude of quirks in API's on iOS.

    The quote that resonated with me from the WSJ article is that Apple can do pretty much anything they set their minds to. I think that really is the bottom line. Apple has competent management, smart employees, and practically limitless financial resources. When you have those things, you can do just about anything (within the laws of physics)
    Competent management wouldn't have let Siri languish for a decade or spent $1 billion a year on a failed car project.  The state of Vision Pro is still up in the air.  Competent management would have also invested whatever it takes to have their own in-house LLM to power Siri and have their own AI datacenter infrastructure ready to go by now.  Apple saw the potential of technologies like Siri when they acquired it over a decade ago.  They should leaders in this field at this point.  Instead, it's OpenAI, Microsoft and Nvidia stealing the limelight.
    Apple was hardly ever first with something. I agree they are behind on AI, but look at the state of AI tools/integrations. They all suck, I work with a lof of those tools on daily basis. Maybe 0.01% of consumers have used it knowingly or with purpose. This market is still in its infancy and very nerd-focused.

  • iOS 18 Mail app will get huge AI enhancements & summarizations with 'Project Blackpearl'

    All of the email AI features that have been in Gmail for quite some time that nobody uses. Hope there will be more inspiring stuff coming out in the future. I guess it also just shows how limited in usefulness AI features still are.

    or maybe it's just a patent.

    Would be bad if Apple doesn't intro new machines you can't increase lagging Mac sales if you don't sales do appear to be lagging and there really is no excuse.
    That's why you'll see them later this year and NOT at a developer conference.
