Apple Is Betting Against AI Hype | WWDC Analysis

After 2 failed AI launches for Apple, is 3rd time the charm? Apple just wrapped WWDC, the event where they’ve historically launched some of their biggest products: the iPod, iPhone, Vision Pro, and, in 2024, Apple Intelligence. But Apple Intelligence quickly became controversial. A lot of the promised features never shipped, and the ones that did felt underwhelming. So this year, Apple had something to prove: that they can actually deliver AI that works. And instead of chasing the same hype as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, they took the opposite approach. And I'm a huge fan. ________________________________________________________________________ Hi all, I'm Veronica. 🥰 I've been in software for 10 years, AI for 6 starting on AI combat ships for the military.
