Apple Intelligence was supposed to be the highlight of iOS 18, a signature feature unlike anything available on competing devices. That's what Apple sold us on at WWDC 2024, delivering an exciting vision for a more personal AI experience on mobile devices.
Nearly a year later, the AI-powered smart Siri assistant that should be able to surface contextual information from apps and even let us control in-app actions via voice isn't here. It's a rare miss for the company and a very shameful one. Apple essentially promised Apple Intelligence would offer an AI experience unlike anything available on competing devices, only to realize a few months later it could not provide it as soon as it thought it could.
Apple used that Apple Intelligence experience as a marketing tool to sell the iPhone 16 series as AI-ready phones. Without the upgraded Siri, the iPhone 16 isn't as exciting.
Despite my disappointment, I still believe Apple can deliver the AI experience it promised last year, even if it takes longer, even if rivaling AI experiences are more exciting right now. I'm also sure that Apple has even bigger plans for Apple Intelligence on iPhone, and the latest developments on the iPhone 17 rumors front further reinforce my thinking.
We have another report that says Apple is giving at least two iPhone 17 models a big RAM upgrade, which can only be tied to the future of AI on iOS.
