If design remains stagnant stock price will inevitably go down. Really worried about Apple & Tesla
Fuck Apple.
brave take to post in r/apple
Believe it when I see it.
It’s not new anymore that newer devices with newer chips would have exclusive features.
I’ve long thought there’s no point in future proofing for my purchases simply because there’s always going to be something new that requires new hardware.
So, people pay thousands of dollars just for Apple to cut features on the next version of iOS?
Damn, everyday Apple gives me more reasons to make the change to Android on a new phone…
They mean the 16 pro, right? Because in all likelihood, the 16 will use the A17 Pro or something equivalent.
I’m also not confident that a phone chip will be strong enough to run a LLM like ChatGPT within the next 5 years. I am aware of LLMs that can run on phones right now, but they’re slow and they’re incapable of tasks that require a moderate level of thought. I’m not optimistic about the capabilities of these exclusive features, if they are coming.
Why not just use chatgpt in browser
Latency? Privacy? Integration with on-device data? Server costs?
Forget about this I just want to know what Apple next Carbon Neutral achievement is and what theyre doing to save the Planet /s
The current generation doesn’t even use the AI capabilities on the CPU. And with future capabilities it’ll likely be cloud based anyways…
AI + Apple = Amazing
X to doubt. Apple “usually” plans these changes in ahead so other devices can take advantage of it. Not saying that is the case here at all as there are times it did.
ChatGPT is just 1 year old. And only recently has it become feasible to run LLMs locally on-device. Apple couldn’t really have planned for it hardware-wise.
A common requirement for these LLMs and stable diffusion models is large memory requirement, which Apple has always been stingy with. Only with the newer hardware do I foresee them increasing base memory, if they want to make AI more accessible.
I feel this would be a big mistake, they need to get AI features to as many people as quickly as possible to not look like they are behind and to not look like they are purposefully making old devices obsolete. I know that they like to do on device but if they can’t do that on the last few gens of phones they need to just eat it and do it server side or partially server side until a few years of phones can handle it on device.
All they care is about upsell to newer iphones otherwise revenue growth will stagnate by a lot. Just look at their mac with 8gb ram.
Mac revenue dropped by 37%, next year will be interesting, the market is saturated.
Mac revenue got crushed partially because I think M1 chips were so good that they can’t expect people to upgrade yet. I mean they aren’t even really trying, the M3 presentation was all about getting Intel users to upgrade. Apple has painted themselves into a corner with how good M1 was.
Was it? I thought they focused on comparing it to the M1 in all of their charts from what I remember. I don’t remember much about intel compared to the m1 presentation but I could be wrong.
Yeah but this is why they are shipping with 8gb ram. They are smart. They will push everyone to upgrade in a few years when their 8gb ram m1 and m2 starts to become slower with AI features in macos.
They must be terrified seeing revenue drop that much from a quarter with new M-series machines to one at the tail end of product refresh.
Yeah, I think they might be gating AI but I think it would feel a bit silly in practice due to the strong and rising competition that works on all modern iPhones, voice commands and all. Sure, a Siri 2 would be able to integrate into the device and activate features, but that’s basically it and that’s not what has wowed people about AI, or even anything new.
Well I get your point but there isn’t much to be offered hardware wise to make a new phone each year and they need arguments for new phones. Apple is a publicly traded company and with its high value it has to make bigger earnings every year. So if there is a way they get away with this they will do it.
Even though you can’t compare it perfectly they probably looking at google who seem to get away with only offering their advanced ai features on the new flagship phone even though the standard variant has comparable and so capable hardware for the job.
I literally just got my 15 pro max a few weeks aho. Already with the 16 articles?
Like a better Siri ? Gtfoh with that
It’s hard to imagine how Siri could possibly be any better than it currently is, I know.
You are right. It is already amazing.
Every generation has had hardware exclusive AI features — usually in the form of camera improvements.
Exactly, so if these AI features are exclusive, wouldn’t be different from Apple’s typical behavior
HAHHHH so glad I waited 😮💨
