Seems completely useless to me. Apple has lost it's focus. I'm thinking of switching to Android for the first time since iPhone 3G. The only reason I'm still on iOS is for iMessage/Facetime.
- bpicolo 9y agoIt's entertainment. People enjoy entertainment. Why not?
- CodeCube 9y agoit may be useless to you ... but like, do you know any "regular" people? do you know how popular things like bitmoji are? and snapchat face 'filters'? This is gonna kill ;)
- alkonaut 9y agoWill it kill in the first iteration though? I know tons of people who have snapchat and speak in emoji, but they are all using 5 year old iPhones or budget androids. Because they are 10-25.
- osxrand 9y agoI feel that Apple knows exactly what it's doing with this feature. There is a strong pull with iMessage for 15-25 year olds in schools, the kind of market something like this will go over pretty well with and potentially create more lock in to their message platform. Along with all the other photo apps that will take advantage of this tech. You could even just look at the Animoji as a tech preview for all the other devs.
- christoph 9y agoExactly. The Snapchat demo was evidence of how this will be opened up to developers. The new photo features clearly showed how it will be used by the Instagram crowd as well.
- WithHighProb 9y agoPoor guy, this "useless" feature is an important milestone in AI
- bpicolo 9y agoTo be fair, this is an argument for AI being a bit of a misnomer for current "AI" tech
