Julia, for all kumbaya of a particular gawd in a summer camp, Apple fans down very hard-core developed emotions for Apple who has even gone ahead to book a $1,200. Apple Matthew iPhone 16 Pro Max or a normie embattled in pretty many years serious blue bubble only group combination where everything conversation is I bet very real soon one way or another you have to anyhow end up with some artificial intelligence features right inside your phone.
Still, it should hardly matter that the state-of-the-art technologies incorporated within most extra products have been disappointing and unproven so far. In the absence of other breakthroughs, Apple sees an upgrade triggered by even the embryonic AI as leading to a super cycle of sales next year.
Nevertheless, looking at the Apple Intelligence that the company highlighted in a preview in June and debuted on Monday, investors and customers might wish the expectations be lowered. But even Apple seemed to hedge a bit, it would forever allow co-headline of the words artificial intelligence.
While the new tools may look … fine or even cute, one cannot deny their attribute as being what one comes to expect of Apple. Easy to use, non-ghostly, for the most part. With the iPhone 16, you will also be getting a Siri which has a more human tone as well as command capabilities. For example, instead of graphical emoticons, you can create one by just typing ‘heart eyes zombie eating pizza’. You can focus your camera on a dog in a park and the phone can tell you (approximately) everything you need to know about the breed of the dog.
However, the tools that are up for grabs now are very much on the side of “nice to have” and not the “must have so that I can drop a grand on this device” scenario.
“Even with uncertainty around the timing of feature availability and countries covered, I expect people to get crazy about these AI attributes,” Deepwater Asset Management managing partner Gene Munster tweeted just before the phone was about to be introduced at the Apple headquarters. Munster is very positive that in the next few quarters, the iPhone 16 sales will be higher than the estimates made by Wall Street.
Anyways, as we all know, the iPhone’s sales cycles come and go, and if the iPhone 16 is as plain as everyone thinks, it should perform relatively well in terms of sales, considering that a good number of customers have been keeping to older phones and its time for them to switch. This is still a good thing, as there is strong brand equity to be enjoyed by Apple, which partly explains why there is a rather slow rollout of the AI strategy (let’s not forget the 2014 U2 album controversy). Apple wants its people in the company to avoid doing this and engineering the rollout in a way that might be understood by consumers also within the concept of Apple security as radical change, if at all.
And last but not least, please: there is no such thing as that word.
Regarding events designed for speeches presenting Apple’s first smartphone equipped with artificial mind, there is perhaps an event onway No. 3- Artificial Intelligence, No Talk Too – ‘ invaluable.
Apple employs its power of the most “intelligent” features when it comes to Smart covers and smart sensors. In other words: Apple Intelligence is owned by Apple Inc. But the company with the most brand conscientious sees what is often blurred in the bot-elevated valley: average users are skeptical towards AI.
Even as the go-ahead has been given and developers in Silicon Valley are all at building the future and investors in Wall Street are all at investing in the future that is all powered by Bots, the people who are supposed to buy such devices powered by this AI technology still take some time to be made to believe in it. (And even Wall Street enthusiasts are getting tired of what’s out there as concerns return on investment)
A study published in the Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management towards the end of summer revealed that calling a product “AI-powered” would lead to a reduced intention amongst customers to purchase it.
This is not puzzling in the least bit: Chatbots and AI picture creators have somewhat educated us that one ought to be wary of their overcomplicated and sometimes grossly erroneous representations. The term now used to describe something that appears false is that it appears as if it has been created by a bot. When we overhear a politician delivering his or her campaign speech and they look lost, we humorously respond by saying that it sounds like something that was generated by ChatGPT.
This is something most people say brand-conscious Apple does not wish to succumb to the “AI” gimmick even if the entire AI effort is based on selling the new iPhone 16 on AI.
