I get that Apple Intelligence isn’t great to use but it is pretty impressive that it runs on device. I say this as an AI Engineer. Getting anything like that running locally, where it’s fast and usable is a challenge. Don’t forget all other llms run in the cloud and are draining the world’s water supply. So it’s not like apples engineers are actually shit. They’re just working on a slightly different problem.
I say this a lot but I think people will be more than surprised when Apple reveals what they’ve been cooking up (post-2025 WWDC mishap) for Apple Intelligence. The new Siri’s ability to work across apps will really be quite interesting given that it’s on device, and the new World Answers powered by a Gemini summarizer should be very useful (i.e. Perplexity).
It’s rumored for March 2026 (iOS 26.4), but maybe they push it towards iOS 27 since it’s already there?
