Apple Intelligence Siri is over a year late, but that might be a good thing
Key Points:
- Apple has faced delays in launching its AI-powered Siri due to challenges in developing proprietary AI models and privacy-related data limitations, resulting in a slower rollout compared to competitors.
- Recently, Apple and Google announced that Google's Gemini models will run on Apple's private cloud servers to enhance future Apple Intelligence features, including the updated Siri introduced at WWDC24.
- Apple Intelligence will now be available on a broader range of devices, including all iPhone 16 and 17 models and the iPhone 15 Pro series, expanding from just 2 supported models at launch to 11 currently.
- The new Siri and other Apple Intelligence features will require devices capable of supporting local AI models, ensuring a blend of cloud and on-device processing for optimal performance
