Good foundation possibly? 🤔

Mark Gurman@markgurman

While there was nothing revolutionary, Apple just rebooted the foundation of its platforms with functional AI, a working Siri and improved performance. This is critical ahead of the next three years of blockbuster new devices that run these operating systems. The right move.

@markgurman Felt a lot of details were held back because of the September event

@markgurman The most underrated feature in tech is reliability

@markgurman Wake me up when all these come to the EU. In the meantime I can continue using Gemini.

@markgurman Hopefully this means Siri won’t be mentally disabled when I tell it to call different lines from one worksite. I shouldn’t have to manually pull up the contact card to choose something other than the last number I called at that worksite.

@markgurman Mark it’s another demo. Like 2024. And it’s delayed. And it’s in English only. And it’s so undercooked it only works on an iPhone 17 for now. And won’t be available in China or the EU… and.. and… this is another pushback.

@markgurman You are calling it a critical foundation for new hardware when the software just barely caught up to current market standards.

If the operating system is just now doing what competitors did years ago then nobody has an actual reason to upgrade their physical phone tomorrow.

@markgurman Yada Yada Yada Mark. We all want Apple so badly to be the Apple of the past. It’s not. Apple has become what Steve Jobs himself warned about when he famously used HP as an example of a company that lost creative passion, and became zombified. We’ll see what Ternus does..

@IwerksUb @markgurman What do you want? Do you even know? Apple Silicon has blown away all rivals. Their hardware is superb. This is a solid AI release, even though it turns out the public don't really want it, or care.

@Petvas @markgurman It’s so funny that Apple cannot what all other competitors can. 🤦‍♂️

@markgurman We will believe when we see it. This was a lukewarm performance. They are really fucking up with this AI, they’re gonna be decade behind.

@markgurman This is what happens when a company prioritizes shipping something that works over shipping something that sounds impressive. Respect

@markgurman That was arguably the worst WWDC of all time.

Imagine drinking the kool-aid to this extent. They are asking the world to switch to Android at this point.

@TesTeq @markgurman It’s because they are taking a different approach. That’s ok. It shouldn’t be taking that long though. Siri AI comes in beta by the end of the year and probably US only. In the EU it will probably come when iOS 28 is ready. That’s extremely disappointing.

@__skid @markgurman lol Apple today gave you even even less reason to move to Android. The one area Android was ahead in that advantage is gone
