The last paragraph of the article made me want to comment. AppleInsider is an enjoyable, must read for me everyday. Sometimes though, I wish you would be a bit more critical of Apple’s performance. You seem to be ok now with saying Siri is well behind Alexa as you pointed out in recent articles. However, you don’t really call out Apple in how Apple Photos does not compare to Google Photos on face and object recognition. Apple Photos has a lot of great qualities, but recognition feels so immature. “Both the macOS and iOS versions of Photos feature optical recognition technology...” does not also say, “but is still a work in progress when compared with the keen “eye” of Google’s algorithms”. Apple Photos has a pretty limited lexicon of optical recognition search capability, crashes frequently with large libraries and takes ages to complete facial scans, even leaving out some faces readily caught by Google Photos. Your article reads as though they are on par with one another.
