Apple's progress with Siri and artificial intelligence has been slow, and features promised in June remain delayed.
At a Siri team meeting, senior director Robby Walker acknowledged the frustration within the team, describing the delays as "ugly."
Features like Siri understanding personal context and taking action based on a user’s screen are still not ready and may not make it into iOS 19.
Challenges include quality issues that caused these features to malfunction up to a third of the time and conflicts with Apple's marketing division over showcasing incomplete features.
Apple has withdrawn related advertisements and added disclaimers on its website, citing extended development times.
Senior executives, including Craig Federighi and John Giannandrea, are reportedly taking personal accountability for the delays.
Walker emphasized that the team’s work is impressive and that the delayed features will be released once they meet Apple’s standards.

I don't fucking want AI in my phone, so take it out and be done with it.

You've had AI on your phone for ages. All your pictures are "AI" touched. And no you don't want the raw output cameras in phones are not that good.

I was just fine without voice assistants and such. I especially don't want LLMs being shoved down my throat at every turn.

Right? Hink of everything else I can do with that space and computing power. Not to mention the fuckin environmental devastation we’d curb.
