Perhaps Apple should take a hint that no one wants so-called AI features training on a device with intimate access to their lives.
Whatever the final reality of feature availability, the conceptual damage had been done: Apple was bandwagon leaping and we had no choice.
I will never buy another Apple device for other reasons, not least of which are the short support period and ever increasing enshittification of the operating system.
I have not been a fan of anything developed since roughly steve jobs passing.
Touch bar?! No thanks.
The truth of the matter is that i see the light and insist upon a world where open source software, standards compliance, and end user choice MATTER, and matter more than corporate profits for an already too large and corrupt behemoth.
If anything the low numbers could be due to AI feature not being available at launch, not the other way around. I’ve not seen any coverage on “people not buying the iPhone due to AI features”.
> short support
Uh what? Apple set the bar for phone support, only recently did other manufactures catch up (or get closer).

Apple is a company, not your friend
