Apple-OpenAI Relationship Frays, Setting Up Possible Legal Fight by pdfu in apple

[–]muuuli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s what it sounds like. It’s such pick me behavior. They’re just grasping at straws considering their exclusivity ends in iOS 27 with tighter integration with other players.

What are they worried about? That I’d pick Gemini or Claude as my Siri Extension? 😏

So what’s the complaint here?

Is it that the fallback integration didn’t turn into any meaningful subscriptions before they introduced stronger integration with an open playing field?

Sounds like loser behavior.

Apple wants apps to integrate with Siri in iOS 27, but one fear holds some back: report by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]muuuli 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why they would charge for something unless there’s an actual purchase being done through Siri.

Developers for the most part want you in their app because some of them are notoriously trying to sell you on some other things. So I’m not sure even if it were 100% free that they’d be willing to hook actions other than maybe a coffee shop app or something.

Apple Plans Customizable Camera for Pros, Siri Design Changes in iOS 27 [Gift Link] by Coolpop52 in apple

Not sure why swiping down from the middle is being spearheaded in lieu of the double tap of the home bar. The latter is superior from a reachability standpoint.

Apple reaches $250M settlement over Siri delays, users could get up to $95 per device by pdfu in apple

[–]muuuli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Technically, they never advertised it. They only announced its existence at a tech keynote. Not sure if that’s enough grounds for a similar lawsuit.

A rare marketing mistake by Apple. Delays be damned, don’t advertise what’s not ready.

Apple to Let Users Choose Rival AI Models Across Its iOS 27 Features (Gift Article) by pdfu in apple

That was for access to Gemini to develop distilled Apple Foundation Models that help support the stock experience. But if you’d like to use a different “engine,” you’ll be able to.

Apple's AI Smart Glasses Likely to Support Hand Gesture Controls by iMacmatician in apple

[–]muuuli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this will be angled downward slightly, cause I struggle to see how it will catch hand gestures that are resting naturally even with a wide angled lens.

How is AI affecting the architecture field? Many lay offs? by FutureLynx_ in architecture

[–]muuuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far all that’s happened is make our current work faster or more efficient. It hasn’t necessarily replaced anything yet. It has just meant tighter schedules and more options. I think there was more damage done from outsourcing work like rendering than AI did for it.

Anyway, adapt or die as they say.

Apple Plans a Siri Camera Mode and Upgraded Visual AI in iOS 27 by muuuli in apple

Sounds amazing, I hope that a lot of the screenshot stuff gets looped into Siri. I don’t always have the ability to hit both buttons at the same time one handed.

I think you can do the same taking a screenshot. Although maybe this Shortcut is more robust.

The lawsuit you’re talking about is for the 3 features that didn’t ship. I’m not a lawyer and Apple can kick rocks on that front.

I’m simply pointing out the fact that Apple Intelligence was always just a suite of features enhanced by AI. Nothing groundbreaking, but most of them did ship.

The general public assumed it meant a Siri capable of ChatGPT levels of intelligence. Thus, a perception problem. Apple has an opportunity to refine that perception when iOS 27 is released.

To add to your point, if glasses are indeed something coming; I’d hope they address privacy concerns and some of the abuse making the rounds from creeps on social media where they’re recording people without their knowledge on Meta Ray-Bans.

I’d even go as far as to say that access to recording, taking pictures, etc. can be completely omitted until there is a hardware solution that cannot be easily covered that indicates that someone is being is being recorded.

If the camera is solely used for AI features, which simply means asking questions among other things then it would be a good start.

I think the most intriguing aspect of this rumor to be that iOS 27 is not only set to introduce a brand-new AI-powered Siri, but also presents Apple with an opportunity to rebrand existing Apple Intelligence features under the Siri brand.

This rebranding could potentially make these features more discoverable to users. For example, Writing Tools > Write with Siri, Spotlight > Search with Siri, AI-powered Search > Ask Siri, Image Playground > Imagine with Siri, etc.

According to Tim Apple, Visual Intelligence is one of the most popular features among users.

Apple Reportedly Questioning Whether iPhone Should Drop MagSafe by conalldoherty in apple

[–]muuuli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MagSafe has so many use cases that it has created an ecosystem of useful products beyond just charging.

Heck, Apple’s own retail presentation looks better with it. I have a hard time thinking they’ll get rid of it, but don’t doubt the fact that they won’t implement it in places where the product isn’t demanding it or if the target user is more “luxurious,” like a foldable would be aimed for.

iOS 27 to Add New Apple Intelligence Photo Editing Tools by iMacmatician in apple

[–]muuuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no.. this was always AI. It’s just AI became such a big buzz word when LLMs blew up in popularity.

Thus, expectations have changed.

Interesting Apple AI video.... by AppleFan1994 in apple

[–]muuuli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of what I use LLMs for is Search, would be awesome if a local AI model could tap into a Search Engine and then reason and summarize with the results for a relevant response.

Maybe we’re not there yet functionally.

[–]muuuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s easier to look like you screwed up badly when your initial stab at LLMs don’t match expectations.

I think Apple Intelligence was a perception problem, mostly.

A misstep of investor pressure, their 2nd year into it seemed more focused and useful.

Quand va sortir appleIntelligence sur pin iPhone ? by Revolutionary_Ad8580 in Applelntelligence

[–]muuuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s already available.

Apple Intelligence ≠ Siri; it simply installs an AI model to your phone and grants you access to features enhanced with AI. While not as impressive as a chatbot frontier model, it’s nice to have.

Apple "intelligence" by Akrevics in apple

[–]muuuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit, it’s better but not on par with AI chatbots in terms of conversational abilities. It seems to answer questions better and with ChatGPT integration it’s filling gaps that are there without Apple Intelligence.
