EU Law is a joke. EU law is so entirely vague and open to subjective interpretation that anyone perceived to have deep pockets can quite easily be deemed to be in violation of it. The way it's written, all they have to do is fabricate a plausible rationale and set, or move, the goal posts to wherever they need them to be, and jackpot!

EU law makes a mockery of law.

Waves hand broadly. All these laws are a joke! All of them.  

Thanks for the rational law analysis, anon! I'll be sure to come back here whenever I need more in-depth legal and historical analysis!

Wow, I did not expect all the hate I've seen here. I think that Apple needs to continue to incrementally improve their existing apps and bringing out new apps like this. Invitations is sorely, sorely overdue but this really checks a lot of boxes and adds things that other great apps don't do. It will also drive subscriptions for iCloud and that certainly won't hurt Apple's bottom line. I am still waiting for them to boost their base level from 5 GB but I guess I should probably wait a little bit longer for that.

"Can't innovate anymore, my ass." /s 

Bringing invites to calendar will make an important incremental improvement to Calendar. That's what they need to do, just keep adding things. This really seems decades past due but, sure, bring it on. And please keep bringing things on.

If the article is meant to teach people how to use Shortcuts that makes sense but I'd scratching my head trying to imagine the scenario where this would be useful. Of the over billion iOS devices in use today, I'm not sure how many situations would benefit from removal of "clutter", and claimed improvement in security. I'm guessing there are more engagements here than scenarios where this would even be marginally helpful. Is this the AppleInsider equivalent of rage bait? Haha.

I think it's important that they have it enabled even if the public doesn't care much. They've addressed the "fallen behind" criticism and have the platform for incredible developments. I don't have an Apple Intelligence-capable device but I'm looking forward to the improvements that will come along with it. Whatever improvements in Siri, notifications bundling, message prioritization that's in the cloud will benefit anyone with an Apple device.

I've used AI-based apps since they've been available on the iPhone such as Arc Search. These have changed how I use my phone and what i expect from it but with so many apps now, it feels like a bit of a mess. I'll upgrade to an AI-capable device one day and am looking forward to a big jump with native capabilities. This along with all the "little" improvements will certainly make the new phone feel like a big and very welcome improvement.
