I think you're seriously underestimating the impact of actually-useful and reliable AI features at your fingertips. This is what everyone imagined computers would be, since I don't know... the 80s?

The thing I liked the most about this event was the beautiful places where the presenters were. Outlook on Golden Gate, Coit Tower, Palace of Fine Arts, De Young... loved that!

Those locations don't have a lot of homeless people just hanging out. Coit Tower is quite the climb.

Smaller notch? Touch ID? Better battery life? Faster charging? Larger default storage? Nope, let's skip all that and spend most of the event talking about video recording. Is anyone here actually excited about the features they just announced? Or are people simply upgrading because they get the latest iPhone every year or two by default?

It said A18 uses 20% less power than A17. However, that might have been for the CPU cores. I don't remember if they made claims specific to the GPU cores or the ML cores.

This is good but... all I wanted for Christmas was anti-spam that didn't suck donkey balls. Sigh.

Did you say spam?? Boy have we got the thing for you!

Take a picture of a restaurant? Hey, did you know it's a place you can make a reservation at?

Your friend mentions a song offhand? Psst … wanna play it now?

Don't forget about how your cousin talked about that AppleTV+ series!

Joking aside, I'm very curious how (or if) this gets implemented in a way that doesn't isn't suffocating.

"- camera adds events to calendar!"

I'm on iOS 18.0 on my iPhone 15 Pro, rather that the 18.1 with the "AI". Recently had an eye doctor appt for one of my children and they scheduled a follow-up, giving me a little card with the details. I was in a hurry so took a picture of it intending to enter the calendar event later, and it immediately pulled up a fully-filled in, completely accurate new calendar event. Little affordance that is just so nice.

Indeed, in general the camera is getting...crazy. We have a pair of Maine Coon kittens and every picture is tagged with Maine Coon, despite the cats barely even coming into the breed's features yet. Constantly amazed at the stuff the built in camera is identifying.

Apple has lost its way, just look at how the "normies" and the "neckbeards" responded to the Vision Pro. Apple doesn't know how to innovate anymore, just how to market, and mass produce things, which is honestly good enough to keep making money for now.

They showed up the full Apple Intelligence featureset at WWDC months ago. This was a shorter recap.
