Based shareholders

As much as I dislike Steve Jobs personally, Apple needs someone at the helm who is product and customer experience oriented like he was. Obviously, technical know-how is good, but someone exclusively technical would flounder. Tim Cook is a supply chain guy. His replacement would almost certainly be someone marketing oriented, since innovation no longer drives Apple. Sales do.

Siri still struggles with toggling my lights with voice commands, after nearly 8 years of tearful screaming at my HomePod.

I want to see 1 Infinite Loop transformed into a giant toilet.

So, it's not going to be good then.

LLMs will always be a novelty tech. They will continue to exist, but not likely worth all the money it costs to run them.

Me: Siri turn lights on

Siri: Now playing Bon Jovi’s “Wanted dead or alive”

Me: Siri shut the fuck up, you have one job, do that job

Apple will be pissed at you now shareholders! Why would you do such a thing? sue them? really ? Apple is a good company, would never do that! /S

Looks like I might have found a Linux zealot lol. "It just works for me is a totally rational and fair reason to prefer Windows. Zealotry requires irrational beliefs. Maybe he is but you've not laid out a convincing argument/story.

Fwiw I prefer Linux but I'll use Windows everyday too. It has a lot of uses and most products are designed for it. It has it's places still. I'm certainly not zealous about Windows

It's blockchain all over again

For this comment, I want to be absolutely clear that I do not give a shit about AI, and that it in no way factored into my decision to buy this iPhone 16 Pro Max.

With that disclaimer out of the way:

I very much look forward to a class action lawsuit. Apple advertised specific features as coming ‘very soon’ and gave short timeframes when asked directly. And they basically did not deliver on those advertising promises. Basically, I think there’s a good case to be made here that Apple knowingly engaged in false advertising in order to sell a phone that otherwise would not have sold as well. Those promised AI features WERE a deciding factor for a lot of people to upgrade to an iPhone 16.

So, I’ll be looking forward to some form of compensation. It’s the principle of it.
