TL;DR: Apple’s upcoming iOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, and tvOS 18 updates are expected to be “ambitious and compelling,” featuring generative AI improvements, especially in Siri. The revamped Siri may offer enhanced integration with Messages, auto-generated Apple Music playlists, and productivity app integration. Apple is investing $1 billion annually in AI research, aiming to compete with Google and OpenAI. The company is debating whether to deploy the new AI technology via the cloud, on-device, or a combination. (via ChatGPT)
So they’ve made no progress in making Siri decent with years of massive resourcing available to them. In that time they’ve at least given us -
Usb-C across the product range.
Reduced consumer pricing outcomes through economies of scale advantages.
Agile solutions to fit modern consumer requirements with a major overhaul of base RAM and cloud storage.
Worry free computing with no keyboard issues.
High end headphones with no rust issues
Industry leading battery life on their watch range combined with style advantages the competition can only dream of.
iPads that now function as a true 2 in 1 device, using M series chips to their full potential. This alone has revolutionised the tech industry.
The ultimate all in one gaming and productivity machines, creating a major shift to Apple as the leading choice for both lifestyle and business.
Ethical nirvana. No compromise solutions for the entire supply and distribution chain, ensuring …
…sorry, realised this list was going to keep going for so long you would all need to upgrade your devices before I completed it.
Thanks Apple.
Apple Watch batteries are certain not industry leading. The average battery life of an Apple Watch is 18 hours. 36 if you have it in low power mode the entire time. The Fitbit versa on the other hand will give you four days.
One of the biggest pills to swallow when switching from my Versa 2 to Apple Watch was the severe drop in battery life.
My entire post was satirical.
The Apple Watch comment was my ‘hey, wait a second!’ Moment.
I charge my ultra occasionally, but it’s not really an issue. I put on a fast charger before I have a shower and it’s never been anything I ever worry about. It never runs out of battery.
And upgrade I will! Trading in or selling the old one takes the sting off of a new one and makes it quite affordable.
