Apple has been hit with a federal lawsuit claiming that the company’s promotion of now-delayed Apple Intelligence features constituted false advertising and unfair competition.
I’m an iOS developer and pretty heavily bought into Apple’s ecosystem and I thought it was really weird for Apple to be advertising all these features that weren’t even in beta yet.
It was false advertising and I expect better from Apple.
Why do you expect them to do better? Do they have a track record of doing that in the past? I’m relatively new to Apple
Yes, with a few relatively minor exceptions (the charging mat is the only one I can think of) Apple doesn’t even really announce things that aren’t pretty close to being done, let alone advertise. For hardware generally within a couple weeks and major software more like 6 months
They really rushed the AI part cuz let’s face it, iOS hasn’t really innovated in a while. They typically wait for other makers to make a new thing (i.e. the swipe down to access settings in android), then take a few years to polish it.
Samsung and Google have been building AI models for a while, cuz they had access to tons of data. Post ChatGPT release Apple realised it’s suddenly light years behind its competitors. So yeah, this is likely the most half baked product Apple has ever released. Similar Apple Maps, but shouldn’t have advertised entire phones on these half baked feature.
Whoopsie! I guess that’s why Steve Jobs had a policy of not announcing things that weren’t ready to ship.
But modern shareholders have a policy of jumping on the AI bandwagon. Line must go up!
I saw this shit coming. Once I saw that Apple was selling ‘The first iPhone built for Apple Intelligence’ without apple intelligence (and then they kept advertising the iphone 16 as such) I figured some one was gonna sue them. Apples AI has been a joke so far. The first time I tried the AI version of siri it just googled my question and showed me the results.
Ironically a few years ago that would have been the best solution but nowadays google is just fucking shit
Yes! Fuck them for pulling this stunt.
It’s like GM claiming to sell flying cars or Tesla self driving cars…smdh
So, you’re saying Apples intelligence was lacking in this situation
Hey siri what month is it
Jesus Christ fellas
Isn’t it still in, like, er, Beta?
