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.”

There’s a bigger issue here at play. The way members inside 3GPP are planning for how 6G technology works (if passes, if not it goes to 7G planning) is that your phones AI model is fine tuned based on all your behaviors and set of predictions and your phones AI will communicate to an agent either close to the phones modem and/or speak to another agent at the nearest 6G tower or NTN with a 6G Core.

If people were to see what standards organizations make up, your mind would be blown. There’s a lot of good intentions, but just enough people to use cool tech for bad. $$$

AIphone branding in 5 4 3..

Edit: lol they can't, the name belongs to an intercom company 🤣

[–] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They'll just acquire them.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

They've likely tried, that's what makes it so funny

[–] YouTalkinToMe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I expect them to go for SIPhone.

Just think how much more efficient all tracking of your activities will be, by being able to send already summarized patterns and deductions of the things you frequently do!

he's speed running customer alienation

also what happened to tim apple?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Tim was promoted to chairman of the board. Who knows what strings he’s still pulling. Either way, I am so far very unimpressed with the new CEO. And not listening to Craig Frederighi (who probably should have been made CEO) puts him on my shitlist.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 2 days ago

at apple, executive chairman is certainly a demotion from CEO. it seems that Cook wants to progressively retire.

learned from Pichai, STUFF ai INTO all thier phones, emails, andother services.

[–] YourBestFriend@quokk.au 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, with 26 I feel there’s a real dive into enshitification. Whatever apple products I have now will be my last. And if Motorola ever makes a sub $600 usd graphene phone I’ll get that.

[–] HeadfullofSoup@kbin.earth 3 points 2 days ago

Same for me i just fear that google will soon block grapheneOS and other alternative and be just as closed as Apple.

This Iphone ( which i have not updated the firmware for some time ) might just be my last smart phone

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I chose the iPhone 15 specifically because it did not support Apple Intelligence.

What I want is options, not being screwed into paying to burn fossil fuels (for AI data centers), for O&G to say we "demand" fossil combustion.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

After updating my phone to the Apple Intelligence stuff I now have a 3+ second stall/freeze when asking Siri anything, including the fucking timer.

It also lags out hard typing into the address bar on Safari.

I’m so poised that they stopped updating security in the previous OS.

John Ternus...sounds like a disease

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

"The good news is that we were able to deflouce the liberellapop from your upper guttyworks and it was a clean removal. The bad news, I'm afraid, is that we found some graspellies and blongongs in your drivelbox and signs of borpus... normally we'd start treatment but I'm afraid they're quite advanced and... look, I'm sorry, but you have the pleb and... it's johnternus."

Really... Right as I get my first iPhone since the 4s...

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 day ago

Huh. Me too lol

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Well.. I don't know why I had faith in John Apple

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can it make shortcuts yet, I just want it to have good documentation on that, real hassle to do manually

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ik you technically can, I had ai make one for restoring playlists I backup through some vibecoded music piracy app I had ai make

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

Open up just a little more Ai and you will all feel better.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Wao, such a surprise 🤭
