Our own John-Anthony Disotto calls Apple Intelligence " a fever dream " that perhaps Apple might like to forget. Fast Company's Harry McKracken is a bit more measured and while he thinks Apple might've failed to "emotionally bond with Siri" he writes that he'd rather see a "great" Siri than one that arrives "on time."

Apple CEO Tim Cook said in the spring that his company had all kinds of big AI plans. Many of them have yet to materialize.

Some artificial intelligence improvements to Apple's voice assistant Siri will be delayed until 2026, the company said on Friday.

Apple Intelligence has so much potential that it’s not living up to, and things could get worse with the news that some key features might be delayed by years.

The company, which has faced slumping iPhone sales in recent months, said that it would take it longer than expected to make Siri more personalized.

OS 19's big redesign can only be good for Apple, but it needs to happen without compromising other updates. And that's especially true of Apple Intelligence.
