Apple’s New CEO Is Reportedly Pushing to Stuff More AI into iPhones (gizmodo.com)

Apple CEO John Ternus pressured Apple senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi to “accelerate the company’s road map and move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri,” reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter.

Citing anonymous sources, Gurman writes that Ternus is “frustrated by what he sees as a reluctance to embrace AI with the same urgency as competitors,” and pushed Federighi for changes in a meeting behind closed doors. Federighi, Gurman points out, has been considered an AI skeptic with concerns “about the technology’s privacy, security, societal and employment implications.”

yea he’s dropping the ball with everything he’s announced and released since taking over. steve is rolling in his grave with the touch screen, folding phone, ai, price increases, shitty operating system redesigns, etc

as much as i hate Jobs, i think he would have been fine with a folding iphone. an iphone that would fold out into a mini ipad? from an idea point what's not to love? he did ultimately see the light with smaller tablets and signed off on producing the ipad mini a year before he died. (only after being told and shown how convenient and useful the smaller form factor tablets were, a samsung 7 inch tablet for reference)

but the iphone duo? i think he would have absolutely hated the thing. the interface sucks big balls. the price tag sucks even more. and they all have an inherent defect in the hinge that will and has been breaking the inner display. it's not a matter of 'if' it will break, but 'when'.

Product pipelines are such that everything announced this fall was already planned before Tim Apple decided to step down.
