  • Tim Cook: We spent on AI companies in the quarter, but nobody big

    Not going to be lots of "Thanks" coming from the hundreds of millions who purchased the iPhone 16 models that were falsely advertised last year they would have a working "Siri assistant" in 2024/2025.

    Folks should just pass on the iPhone 17 series that is rumored to get 12GB of ram when next year we will see 16GB of ram on every Apple product as the minimum for Apple AI (what ever that means) and all prior generations will have crippled performance due to insufficient memory.

    The tariffs will just add insult to injury to the buying public. Hopefully, Apple sales tank and they have an awakening that lying to the customer base has consequences.

    Somehow, from 1990 to 2024, Apple was able to introduce new products without a bunch of significant lies. The deceptive advertising happened on Tim Cook's watch and there should be negative responses from the Board of Directors and certainly NO bonus money or stock options. Somebody has to be held accountable that is currently employed or soon to be a "former" employee of Apple.
    I don’t know, the true state of Apple Intelligence has been known for a while now and they still smashed their most recent quarter well beyond expectations.  As an Apple shareholder and long time customer I’m delighted with the Tim Cook era.

  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    skingersskingers
    Steve was smart enough to spot his best possible successor and he was right.  Tim Cook is a stellar CEO and this entire suggestion he is in trouble is just laughable.  The only Apple "product" I still have since Steve's day that is not now obsolete is my holding in Apple stock and that is way better than ever thanks to the logistical genius of Tim Cook.

  • Apple shareholders sue over Siri delays and massive losses

    skingersskingers
    So if you think AI is so critical why not ask IT why apple stock has declined.  I asked chat GPT why the decline since December and it said :

    "    Apple's stock has declined since December 2024 due to several factors. Analysts have downgraded the stock, citing concerns over soft iPhone sales, particularly in China, and potential regulatory risks affecting its services business. Additionally, the company faces increased competition in the Chinese market, with local brands gaining market share."

    "cos Siri is not as smart as me yet" was not what it said.

    And who or how many amongst us Appleinsider forum goers are the target demographic for this device?
    Early adopters willing to pay the premium for tomorrow's tech today and developers.  Anyone who thought it was even meant for "consumers" was not listening to Apple's projections for this.
