I'm sure this is Apple's fault...they blame Apple for everything else.

All I would like is better dictation and a little more control over my apps using my voice.  I had a Pixel 6 and it did all of this flawlessly.  That was 4 years ago 

This is why the upgraded Siri debacle is so embarrassing and devastating.  It just shows how Apple cannot multitask but just cycle through a couple of products at a time.

What this Friday meeting missed is any discussion about the lack of accountability inside the company.  And, they couldn't help themselves and had to "brag" how upgraded Siri is a "bigger upgrade than envisioned".  <rolling eyes>  They are still trying to use it to push sales, but since it wasn't advertised at 2025 WWDC, they can't be sued over it.  People, don't fall for it and wait until it is actually released.  And, even then since there will be massive bugs in it, you might as well wait for the iPhone 18 with its 16Gb RAM, which will run AI much better anyways.

Tim Crook needs to be fired.

And replaced with who? In case you forget there were so many blunders at Apple while Steve Jobs was CEO but I guess he should have been fired too. 

Mark Gurman just throws a bunch of shit at the wall to see what sticks and then claims he was right, when he just changed his story about 18 times to make it "right". You just really never know with him. I think he definitely has a source inside Apple or a manufacturing partner or something like that but it's only a matter of time before they get caught too. 

Tim Cook is the best CEO ever for Apple, yes better than Steve Jobs. Apple wouldn't be what it is today without Tim Cook. People think Steve Jobs was GOD and nothing ever went wrong under Steve Jobs. These people either have poor memories (or are stuck in the late 90's-early 2000's), or they weren't even born yet. There were plenty of things that didn't go right, outright failures and things that didn't progress very far at all. 

-Ping
-.Mac (had to be rebranded to mobileMe)
-mobileMe (had to be rebranded to iCloud)
-iPhone 4 AntennaGate (you're holding it wrong!)
-G4 Macs (barely any advances YoY with sometimes the new model slower than the older model)
-G5 Macs (barely any advances YoY and broken promises)
-Announcing products and shipping them months afterwards. (this was classic during the G3/G4 days)

These are just some examples of shit that didn't go right under Steve Jobs. Very few called for him to be fired when these happened. 

I ask this question every single time someone says Tim should be fired...who would be a better CEO for Apple than Tim Cook and NOBODY has ever answered that question, not one single time yet they seem to have all of the solutions for Apple. Just fire Tim Cook! 

And who gives a shit what Steve Jobs thinks of Apple today. He's not here anymore and it's not his company. You don't know what Steve would think and it doesn't matter anyways. It's an absolutely pointless mindset to have. 

Honestly they should just ditch both...folding phones is such a gimmick. Unless they can provide actual value to it folding that isn't a gimmick I just don't see the point. Focus on doing something of actual value for future phones.
