  • Tim Cook: We spent on AI companies in the quarter, but nobody big

    ApplePoor said:
    Not going to be lots of "Thanks" coming from the hundreds of millions who purchased the iPhone 16 models that were falsely advertised last year they would have a working "Siri assistant" in 2024/2025.

    Folks should just pass on the iPhone 17 series that is rumored to get 12GB of ram when next year we will see 16GB of ram on every Apple product as the minimum for Apple AI (what ever that means) and all prior generations will have crippled performance due to insufficient memory.

    The tariffs will just add insult to injury to the buying public. Hopefully, Apple sales tank and they have an awakening that lying to the customer base has consequences.

    Somehow, from 1990 to 2024, Apple was able to introduce new products without a bunch of significant lies. The deceptive advertising happened on Tim Cook's watch and there should be negative responses from the Board of Directors and certainly NO bonus money or stock options. Somebody has to be held accountable that is currently employed or soon to be a "former" employee of Apple.
    Blimey, someone’s tired.

  • UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

    Good. Not like Two-Tier Kier to do a U turn over an utterly ridiculous policy decision. Absolute embarrassment of a leader and party.

  • Apple's AI ambitions go beyond Siri LLM with Knowledge chatbot and always-on AI copilot

    TheSparkleTheSparkle
    Apple is famously secretive and quality obsessed - two laudable traits. For a tech company, there is no way they are not close to what’s happening with AI, not just what is ready to implement now, but also what’s coming. Currently agentic AI is hot. Where might that lead? How will this fit? LLMs are just one piece, one cog in the machine.

    As soon as something is stable, reliable, basically of truly sound quality, we will see it. Until then, if AI is what you’re after, stick with the main players and enjoy the near weekly advances and its disruptive impact. This genie isn’t going back in the bottle. And speaking as a coder, yes there are concerns for my career going forward, but we’re not stopping it. I did a week’s worth of coding in one day last week. As it stands, that makes me more productive. I think it’s that aspect - major productivity gains - Apple will embrace. When it’s ready.
