WWDC will be on June 9 with iOS 19, Apple Intelligence updates, and more
I’m really looking forward to the announcement of Apple Intelligence 2.

Apple is reportedly investing heavily into Nvidia servers for AI development
Doesn’t Nvidia ration out their server chips because of high demand? Has their relationship with Apple improved?

Apple finally brings lossless audio and low-latency audio to AirPods Max
Even with 100% lossless you still won’t be able to make out what anyone is saying in Tenet. -
John Giannandrea out as Siri chief, Apple Vision Pro lead in
The Vision Pro doesn’t sell. The only reason Cook gets away with it is that Apple has several cash cow products that bring in ungodly gobs of money. If the first iMac in 1998 sold as poorly as the Vision Pro Apple would probably be a nostalgia brand today like Atari.Wesley Hilliard said:
I'll never understand what people mean when they say this other than "I don't like it so it didn't pan out." By what metrics are you measuring the panning?9secondkox2 said:Tim’s ai, headset, and car haven’t panned out so far.Would love to see a return to the days of Apple not releasing something until it’s 100% ready and captivating. I’ll give Cook’s car a pass since it was never officially announced.Even the watch was closely guarded. And it was a success when it finally launched. A return to form in that regard would be most welcome.No more public experiments and betas please.Other than delaying one feature, Apple Intelligence is doing fine. Apple didn't promise a sentient machine like others in the space did. Is that a bad thing? Them delaying something that isn't ready instead of releasing it anyway is exactly what you're asking Apple to do, yet you're criticizing them for it.And unless you know something about how Apple Vision Pro has done so far and Apple's expectation for the product, there's no way of knowing "how it panned out." It's been pretty awesome from my perspective.

What he should have done was look up at the ceiling and yelled “KHAAAN!”.charlesn said:Totally not surprised this happened although I didn't expect it to take this long. Tim Cook is the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. It's worth recounting this tale from an urgent meeting Cook had called:"One day back then, he convened a meeting with his team, and the discussion turned to a particular problem in Asia. “This is really bad,” Cook told the group. “Someone should be in China driving this.” Thirty minutes into that meeting Cook looked at Sabih Khan, a key operations executive, and abruptly asked, without a trace of emotion, “Why are you still here?”
Khan, who remains one of Cook’s top lieutenants to this day, immediately stood up, drove to San Francisco International Airport, and, without a change of clothes, booked a flight to China with no return date, according to people familiar with the episode. The story is vintage Cook: demanding and unemotional."
