I am absolutely baffled that Apple (and others) haven't updated their smart assistants with a competitive LLM. With Apple's privacy shtick and their mobile GPU efficiency, I was convinced we'd see something today. What am I missing?

Curious what's going on with the stance of presenters? If you look carefully they all stand in a certain way, with a space between their feet that appears to be constant.
Back in the 2010s there was a TED Talker/grifter who advocated a wider stance to project power and confidence.

They spent so long talking about environmental stuff, like getting rid of leather, that it felt like they were trying to pad the presentation to reach a reasonable length. There were a few new things (more optical zoom, slightly smaller bezels), but these were all leaked in advance. I was also disappointed to hear that the satellite stuff is limited to 2 years. Is it going to…
They are making really really hard not to switch to Android. I was just expecting a folding phone, and have been wanting a folding phone for years. Now Samsung has a mature folding phone that looks like a much better alternative...
So the only compelling reason to upgrade from the 14 is...USB-C, where people are saying the 15 (non-Pro) runs at USB2 speeds? This was one of the most lackluster Apple launches in recent memory. I long for the day when Apple actually innovated on this product line. Now they're simply treading water and only making good changes when forced to (EU requiring USB-C). I will give credit where it is due for Apple -- the M…
What do you even use usb data transfer for? I have only ever used it for development which was quick enough with Lightning (also usb 2.0)
