Apple will be selling iPhone 15s for the next 3 months that won’t get the AI features they just announced. When you buy an iPhone, you generally get software updates giving you new features for a few years at least. What they did with AI is kind of shitty, given their track record.

I mean, I’m glad not to have this AI stuff. I’m glad I have a buffer of iPhones that don’t support this AI when I will be forced to downgrade to a newer device from first SE.

  If you don't trust Apple to disable AI when you ask them to, why use them?

  I'd like to have a smarter Siri though. Guess I'm stuck with an idiot who can't even understand the word "bedroom" anymore (though it worked fine until a recent update)

On the other hand, if your phone can't run a model, it can't run a model, you can't ship people a new AI coprocessor to solder onto their iPhone's motherboard.

  If you have a "Private Compute Cloud" setup anyway, you could give users the option to run the model there.

  That’s true, but they’ve made a lot of noise about “private cloud compute” to run models too large for your device. They’re making the odd decision to not offer it as a subscription for devices less than a year old. They’ve also certainly been working on LLMs for longer than the iPhone 15 and 14 have existed. They knew what it’d support before announcing those devices.
