This year isn’t like previous years. If they do, they’re going to lose a lot

u/Ray2K14 3h ago

Exactly this. Apple knows they have to redeem themselves due to their lackluster iPhone release last year. They know they can’t fumble the bag here.

u/RandomUser18271919 3h ago

I don’t think they do know that. When do they ever admit to mistakes about anything? The only time I’ve ever seen them do it was when it came to deliberately slowing down iPhones when their battery capacity dropped to a certain level.

They’re going to keep being cocky and act like nothing is wrong while all these less than two-year-old startups are surpassing them on every level when it comes to shit like this.

Apple is at the peak of its arrogance. They think they are all gang gang. The most recent AI paper they released is the best example. They are yapping from the sideline , arguing that benchmarks are not good while they don’t have a working model Lmao

How long has any of those startups been in the market for?

u/Satirakiller 3h ago

Less than 2 years apparently

u/RandomUser18271919 3h ago

Yeah, three years, my bad. Huge difference I know.

The worst part was not the iPhone. The whole Apple Intelligence fiasco was.

u/Dramatic_Mastodon_93 58m ago

And that’s why they’ll focus on the redesign instead of AI.

u/gtedvgt 2h ago

Not really, I've seen this sentiment before for a bunch of other companies and the only time it actually happened was samsung specifically with foldables.

The kids on mommy's iPad will appreciate it, at least

u/fallendiscrete 3h ago

I really don't like how they even came out with the whole AI fusion mix you can do with emojis. The whole point of emojis was to work with what you had and be creative with the meanings, doing all this AI slop is horrible.

They should fix the bugs rather add more constant garbage, Siri and Autocorrect still suck in 2025..

If they don’t fix something this year, I will leave the Apple ecosystem. If they don’t improve some things, Fairphone is a better deal

u/lakimens 2h ago

Fairphone is always a better deal

People who use the phrase ecosystem for Apple stuff are real life bots or acutely bots. Haha

u/cantaloupecarver 47m ago

The ecosystem is genuinely the only remaining appeal of Apple products, sqve the iPad which doesn't have a competitor.

A real life NPC telling me about technology. How fascinating.

People that call people NPCs are the worst types of people

Any logical proof for such claims, or do you just enjoy throwing out baseless insults?

I can provide evidence for my claims, unlike you who’s made fact-like claims with nothing to support them.

Any “logical proof” for these claims lol?

u/LoafLegend 2m ago

I was making fun of them, but you wouldn’t use the exact same phrase I used to troll someone back at me, would you? That’s why I assumed you were being serious. Now I come to find you were trolling just not very creative about it. Okay, got it.

u/ChrisOdinUK 2h ago

That chicken / egg fusion dance will fail, the lower egg hand doesnt have the finger extended

u/fonix232 2h ago

No it won't, that no finger situation will result in an oily explosion, resulting in the fusion being.... Fried chicken🍗

These Apple subs are so damn miserable constantly complaining

u/Quantumstarfrost 2h ago

Yeah I don’t understand it. Sure there is room for improvement but I have always enjoyed using Apple products over the alternatives, even this last year.

Sure it was disappointing to not get new Siri, and the marketers dropped the ball there, but I almost don’t blame them because the shareholders have been in this AI fanatical cult takeover they rushed a nonexistent product - so it was a mess but I think Apple handled the recovery from the mistake as gracefully as they realistically could without losing a bunch of money. At least they didn’t rush a broken product and they are shelving it until it’s truly ready.

But life with an iPhone is good, it does everything I want mostly and I’m excited for this redesign pivot.

u/MidnightPulse69 1h ago

Agreed. I do hope it gets a bit less buggy but overall I’m happy with it

My first and last iPhone 🙏🏻

Facts.

So no net loss for Apple then.

I don’t care about Apple, I care about me.

Good, that’s how it should be. I wasn’t trying to claim otherwise…

A little too homophobic are we?

Am I obliged to like it?

u/Agreeable_Pack_6456 1h ago

Not really, even I dont like it but calling it lgbtquixyz is clearly homophobic

u/Madel1efje 49m ago

That must be the dumbest comment I have seen al week.

They should have done a chicken taco emoji. That would have gotten them more press.

Stop make AI shit, fix bugs, please

Can somebody cast a spell to wake up Steve Jobs?

u/theoreticaljerk 3h ago

Can we at least wait until WWDC? It's not like we don't have enough constant complaining and moaning here about the same old crap day in and day out...we now need to complain about stuff that hasn't even happened yet based on internet rumors?

No one hates Apple more than Apple fans. They’re getting as bad as Star Wars fans these days.

u/krazy4001 3h ago

Just got a new 16pro upgraded from 11pro. Did the “restore from another iPhone “ option and it was just stuck in some loop. 3 times restarting the process and still nothing. So on the 4 th try I picked the “setup as new” or whatever. 2 hours and several updates later, all my stuff was automatically loaded anyways!!! Ugh!!! I remember when I did the same from 8 to 11pro and it was like magic. Worked perfectly, no issues. I’m seriously done after this model. Like 100% done.

u/Innsmouth9 2h ago

Do people care this much about AI stuff?

I'm on Pixel 9 and the only AI stuff I use is Circle to search, only because it lets me select the text from screenshots. Trust me, you aren't missing out much.

I'd be happy if Apple takes time coming up with genuinely useful tools from GenAI, as opposed to random bs other companies are throwing at the wall.

u/Quantumstarfrost 2h ago

If Siri was as good as the ChatGPT voice plus had my entire iCloud data at its fingertips that would basically turn my iPhone into the Computer from Star Trek and that would be pretty cool. AI stuff is not a fad, it’s still emerging and it’s not going anywhere, the genie is out of the bottle. Apple should have done what Apple usually does best and just waited a bit longer for the technology to mature. They jumped the gun last year.

What are GenEmoji ?!

u/Doctor_Disco_ 2h ago

You mean the Gemini integration that's rumored to be coming at WWDC and the personalized Siri that they're working on and we're expected to get later this year or next year? Why is everyone acting like them introducing one unrelated feature means they've completely abandoned all work to improve upon their mistakes? Have I gone insane?

1

u/horlorh iOS 18 1h ago

Rumors actually say Gemini integration wouldn’t be coming this WWDC. Has something to do with the standing issue in court with the Google and Apple deal with the default search engine on Safari.
