  • When to expect every Mac to get the AI-based M4 processor

    I'm I the only person who doesn't want AI on his devices? So for the interaction I have had with AI has been Artificial Stupid not intelligence. If Apple forces AI with the next operating systems I will not install it or purchase any device with it pre-installed. I already have all the intelligence I need. I use my brain.
    You probably have some form of “AI” already in your computer. The problem with the term AI is that it ends up meaning whatever the marketing team wants it to mean, independent of the tech team’s definition of AI. 

    AI can be neural networks, knowledge bases, deep statistical analysis and even a rebranding of a complex algorithm (or maybe not complex at all in certain cases). 

    The other problem with the current approach of AI is that it ends up being technology oriented development, rather than need oriented development. 

    As for using your brain, I agree using what you have, but sometimes delegating a task can free you up to do other things. Of course there are times when an AI can try to be too smart, but then again that can be a simple algorithm - too many times in MS Office that I’ve been corrected in ways I didn’t want.

    How many years until Apple actually has decent AI though? They're not really a leader right now. I'd wait until then to buy a current computer that could actually take advantage of AI advancements.
    What do you mean by decent AI and how do you define AI? Also AI for what purpose? 

    I ask the question because too many times the answer is usually a lot of hand waving and then the person admitting they don’t know. Also when they do decide on a simple example, then a simple algorithm will address it.

  • JP Morgan drops Apple target price over questions on when AI iPhone will launch

    Just banking on AI without a real purpose is crazy. Good AI is invisible and solves real problems. Bad AI is just making the non-technical Wall Street people happy, through gimmicky functionality, without doing anything really useful. Of course there is another class of AI, but it’s hard to know from the outside whether it is AI or algorithm.

  • Beyond TSMC, Apple's supply chain will be disrupted by the Taiwan earthquake

    ajmasajmas
    Taiwan is a very important technology manufacturing location, as this article indicates. Many motherboard manufacturers are also located in Taiwan, so it won’t just be Apple impacted by the earthquake. 

    Incidents like this reveals the dangers of too much dependency on one location. Then again, while you may have supplier diversity, they may share a common supplier. ASML is a common supplier to many fabs, for example.

  • Apple calls 128GB 'lots of storage' in new iPhone 15 ad

    ajmasajmas
    Without iCloud support 128GB isn't much, but coupled with iCloud storage and an internet connection it actually works out to be enough in many cases. I say this, because the phone will quietly offload images and videos to the cloud when the images and videos start reaching a certain threshold.

    Where the storage fails is if you are an app hoarder or a music buff that needs stuff to stay on the phone. Or... you are dealing with apps that create large files without any auto-offloading support.
