In the future, Apple Intelligence may fulfill its lofty promises
This week on the AppleInsider Podcast: Sonos has scrapped its streaming device project, while Apple faces delays with the Home Hub and ongoing speculation around the iPhone 17. Additionally, there’s a growing sentiment that Apple Intelligence might be falling short of expectations.
Following an exhilarating week filled with new product launches from Apple, this week marks a noticeable downturn characterized by significant cancellations and postponements. Although only Sonos has officially called off a project—its rival streaming device to the Apple TV 4K—the move raises questions about priorities in light of their main focus needing more attention.
On another note, Apple’s handling of AI technology is under intense scrutiny as it recently acknowledged setbacks in enhancing Siri’s personalized features. It echoes the idea of ”the emperor’s new clothes,” but if valid concerns about Apple’s AI initiatives are considered, there’s still ample opportunity for Apple’s intelligence tools to emerge as market leaders.
