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.”

The stuff they just released is so bad. My 17 Pro used to open an app immediately when I asked Siri and now she churns for over 5 seconds sometime before opening things. Went from a time saving shortcut to an annoyance.

She can’t understand anything going on with my phone, she misunderstands me a lot more than before. Keeps requesting the same permissions over and over with no way to permanently grant them. Navigation is ridiculous she’ll navigate to a town in the next country before a name in my contacts. Having really loved iPhones since 2010 this will be my last one. I’m bound for grapheneos or something similar have already begun moving my data out of their cloud in anticipation.

You could also just open the app yourself and that's always faster than asking siri...

You don’t know how many apps I have on how many screens, or how many aren’t even on home screens, or what kind of tasks I’m doing with my hands where I might want this functionality. You don’t even know if I have hands. You have zero idea if it would be faster for me to manually open an app vs use a voice assistant.

No thank you for your useless opinion.

In contrast, I always put my shortcuts in the same place on my devices, so I can access them through muscle memory, which is even faster.
