It’s bluff on Apple’s part. Apple Intelligence wasn’t going to be available anyway because it only works in English for now.

its also bluff because Microsoft’s solution is available and working in multiple languages and countries, and so is Google’s (and ChatGPT, as well as others).

So Apple is agitating the American flag to hide the limitations of their current AI implementation.

Apple could trademark the term "Apple Intelligence" to try to get people to think of Apple when they think of "AI".

I’m sure they thought about it, but went against it as it would be a constant source of derision if Apple’s AI implementation ended up  as good as their current Siri.

Okay. a feature that Affinity Photo has always had. 

As the article mentions, it’s not masking that is new : Pixelmator always had that basic feature. What is new is the AI assistance to improve the result

Absolutely. Still running on Airport Extremes too, fantastic kit.

While I liked mine, when I switched to a newer system a few years ago, the increase in speed and reliability for my wifi network was obvious and unquestionable. And that was in 2018. To see that you’re still limping along with Airport Extremes in 2024 impresses me. 

I’m not a Meta fan, in no way shape or form. But I have a hard time finding a tear for Apple’s dramatic stance. If Apple thinks that managing fees has a cost, then they should simply stop requiring that developers use their transactional platform. Less use, less transactions, less costs overall. Stop forcing developers to use Apple transactional platform and leave reimbursements to the developers. The current system doesn’t adequately protect customers anyway as abusive developers still manage to charge abusive fees without Apple even batting an eye.
