Will it be a live keynote, or another awful cringe-worthy video?  Maybe they will be apologizing for Apple Intelligence instead of trying to push out more half-baked features.  They already blundered with Siri, unless they try and do damage control and more promises of features that won't be ready with iOS 19.

I miss the days when Apple released new software and the features they previewed at WWDC were actually in the release version.  Instead all we get are 'coming soon' and then 'maybe next year'.  I stopped watching the videos because they were nothing more than reading press releases and spec sheets.

So now the lead of one failed product is taking over another failed product?  What could possibly go wrong?

Vision Pro has been a complete failure for Apple.  Overpriced.  No developers.  No one cares about AR.  It doesn't solve any problem.  Walk into an Apple Store and no one pays attention to them.  For decades, no one has cared about AR because they don't want goggles on their head.  Just like no one wanted to wear 3D glasses to watch TV and 3D TVs are non-existent.  So why would anyone spend $3500 for a heavy pair of goggles on their head?

And now this guy is going to fix Siri?  The same Siri that Apple has pretty much abandoned for the past 14 years?  Gets things wrong constantly and it is inconsistent on the Mac, iPhone, AppleTV and the speaker.  Good luck with that.

Apple Intelligence has been a huge disappointment so far.  Siri still makes constant mistakes on simple dictation for a text message.  Siri, do you want me to send this?  NO!

I remember when Apple would launch a product that would beat the competition on spec AND price.    SuperDrive DVD burners in PowerMacs.   iPod 5GB for little more than the bare drive which was so new, no one knew they existed.  

What others?  

The iMac 27" 5K.  You got an incredible 5K display and computer came with it.  Not anymore.  Now it is a 5K display, overpriced, with leftover iPhone 11 parts in it.  Their fantasy HomePad will be a small iPad grafted onto a speaker with outdated chips running it, and be overpriced as well.

Apple has lost touch with reality.  VP is a failure at $3500, and if they make a foldable phone over $2,000, no one will be buying it.  The displays are prone for failure or a crease line after you constantly fold and unfold it every single day, multiple times a day.  It doesn't really solve a problem, just like VP doesn't solve a problem.  Why would anyone want something thicker folded up in their pocket?  

There is an error at the end of the article.  M3 Ultra Mac Studio, not an M4 Ultra Mac Studio.

The M3 Ultra is only good for those AI models.  Other benchmarks confirm it is slower than the M4 Max.  And of course Apple has to rip people off with $4,000 for 512GB of memory.

Apple needs to add the other big ones, Gemini, Grok etc

As they clearly are not capable to do it themselves.

Apple really needs to shake thing up.

Why exactly don't you think Apple can do it?

Because for 14 years, they have done nothing to improve Siri.  So don't hold your breath for anything special with Apple Intelligence.  Currently, it offers nothing to help anyone, except for making creepy images in Image Playground.
