Apple *Finally* Does AI. Big Whoop.

Right, so Apple’s decided to join the party. Took ’em long enough. This “Apple Intelligence” thing is basically a suite of features they’re slapping onto iOS 19 and macOS Sequoia – surprise, it needs an iPhone Pro for most of the good stuff. They’ve got some on-device processing happening (good, finally realizing cloud dependency is dumb), but also rely heavily on their Private Cloud compute for more complex tasks. Because *privacy*, obviously.

Expect a lot of “summarization” – because apparently nobody can read anymore – and image manipulation. They’re trying to make Siri less useless with “enhanced” models, which is like putting lipstick on a pig, frankly. There’s also some stuff about generating stickers from text prompts (groundbreaking) and making your photos look… shinier? Seriously?

They’ve got “Revenue Intelligence” for business users – basically fancy charts. And they’re integrating it into all their apps, because of course they are. It’s all very…Apple. Polished, locked-down, and requires you to buy the latest hardware. Oh, and it’s not coming to *everyone* right away. Some regions get it later. Because reasons.

The biggest takeaway? It’s playing catch-up. They’re trying to make up for lost time with a lot of marketing fluff and proprietary nonsense. Don’t expect this to revolutionize anything, just another way to sell you more overpriced gadgets. Honestly, it feels like they saw what Google and OpenAI were doing and went “Oh, *now* we should do that.”

And don’t even get me started on the fact that it only supports a limited number of languages initially. Typical.

Look, I once had to debug a system where the entire problem was caused by someone using Comic Sans in a critical log file. Comic Sans. That’s the level of user error we’re dealing with here. Apple thinks they can fix everything with pretty interfaces and proprietary formats. They can’t. Trust me, I *know*.
