Are you implying Apple integrated AI successfully? How do you use AI in Apple products?
Does the amazing OCR in the macOS Preview app count? As someone who sometimes gets tracebacks sent to as screenshots, I'm really happy about it.
Apple Intelligence? Or Artificial Intelligence?

It’s indeed excellent! But they’ve had that since around 2012 or so.
What other companies have successfully integrated LLM tech in their mainstream products? To be clear, just having a chatbot website/app does not count.

Vertically-integrated modems are not cool. I mean, they are to me and likely other geeks, but to the general public? Their eyes would glaze over. Cool is the kind of thing people envy. It's the kind of product that gets namedropped in a music video.
You’re not thinking two or three orders out. It’s not about the modem, it’s about reducing the resource allocation of a boring component to make space for increasing the resources of other exciting components, taking the whole into account. iPhone will get some new exciting feature and everyone will wonder how they managed to do it at the price point nobody else can.

That's actually very consistent for Apple. Apple doesn't generally claim to be the first to do something, but have always taken the line that they're the first to execute it well . Hence their fondness for words like 'reimagine', 'revolutionise', etc.

When the iPhone launched, the Android project changed direction toward a full screen phone and that form became much more dominant and popular than the BlackBerry form. Apple made the bet that they could make the full screen experience much more compelling that people would accept the trade off of losing the ke…

Misinformed take IMO. M-series chips are insanely cool (literally and figuratively) and have no competition even five years in. Same with the W-series SoCs on watches. Are there any third-party haptic vibration motors yet? Shoot, even their trackpads, which already stood alone, have gotten _better_ over the years. Nobody else will have their own vertically-integrated modem out in production. This will make budget iPh…

Apple thinks/knows/gambles increasing vertical integration by building its own modems will make things even better.

Nadella seems to have incomparably more vision...
Different character of person though. Nadella was engineering, former Sun Microsystems, he understands cloud, having led initiatives within Microsoft in that area. He also opened the door to open source that Microsoft had shuttered for so long.
Windows seems to be a platform for selling cloud services… lamentably it probably works.

But as I’ve started using windows again, it’s shocking that he allows a lot of the unprofessional upselling crap in. Windows seems to be a platform for selling cloud services… lamentably it probably works.

There’s a lot of settings and things you can regedit to make it great again, sane again, plain again.
