iOS 18.4 will force users to upgrade to the latest HomeKit architecture
I don't think there is any evidence that the new HomeKit architecture will make "older smart home accessories inoperable". Nothing in my home , which included some fairly old accessories , had any issues.I switched over fairly early to the new architecture and my only issue at the time was with my family joining my "Home" via invitations.
HomeKit seems very solid now. -
Apple confirms that Apple Intelligence Siri features are taking longer than expected
You guys don’t reflect what most people use Siri for. 99% of people use Siri to dictate text and read messages or emails, and get directions using maps- and it’s damn good at that. I don’t find google much better with understanding speech, if at all. And the second use case is to control a smart home. For both of these use cases Siri works great. If you want to ask idiotic questions about how many super bowls some team won, then go ask google. For complex questions, you want to have an interaction with ChatGPT but that’s a separate way to work with AI, and not really what Siri is intended for. Apple intelligence is not Siri. All the other tools like summaries and email categories are actually super useful. Apple has to build out massive AI compute farms and integrate Siri into iOS and apps, that takes time. And Apple likes to get things right. -
