Apple’s iPhone AI, called Apple Intelligence, is a complete flop so far. After pushing it out in late 2024, it’s still considered Beta, and thus far is complete garbage. Everyone I know with an iPhone has disabled it. Siri is crippled with it enabled.

I don’t get much use of AI, other than occasional use of Grok or ChatGPT using their browser interfaces. But the Mrs uses it a lot in her daily work, mostly Microsoft Copilot. That system is very effective, and integrated into pretty much all the microsoft’s planning and productivity apps. Copilot significantly increases her productivity. That is the direction Apple needs to go, particularly if they expect corporations to stick with iPhone.

I don't use it, but Apple didn't botch Siri. Consider other voice assistants: Alexa and Bixby. Novel at first, but adoption/usage dropping

I appreciate Apple's approach to AI by not forcing it on users. They have quietly built in features into existing apps and prioritized privacy.

Do we really want a hardware device/smart phone managed like the AI tech bros run startups?
