The inconvenience of being on US English (I’m Australian) simply wasn’t worth it for me and I’ve switched it off.

The summaries are okay but not groundbreaking Photos features are gimmicky Siri is no more useful, only benefit is it was now more responsive and accurate for Home Control commands Most features simply don’t exist yet

I’m kinda shocked Apple has rushed this to market in the current state

How have you been finding AppleInt?

    It doesn’t surprise me that Apple pulled out of the OpenAI investment. They’ve been trying to polish these new features and finding that they’re built on sand.

      I’m just shocked they pushed it out the door. It’s the only major selling point for the iPhone 16 and yet isn’t available at launch, and even when it does release is going to be relatively useless

      I use GPT daily for discussion and pulling apart ideas but the AppleInt doesnt even have that baked in yet.

      Apple is trying to make it more generally useful, but it fails at even the basic things genAI is useful for at this point

    Very few people will be able to use it: only iPhone 15 Pro and higher. Most users won’t have a capable phone until their next upgrade in 1-3 years.

    Hopefully by then they’ve caught up to where Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta are today.
