This is a convenience bias, with whatever narrative best fits.
Either it's "Apple releases after everyone else, but gets it right", when that doesn't work, like now, it's "Oh, it's understood to be less than perfect, but will be getting better.
And Apple Maps was in part, released because Apple didn't want Google getting user data (I don't like calling it "their user's data" because that implies those users are owned by Apple). So they released a terrible experience for their own benefit - while continuing the narrative of "we're the only ones who care about your experience".
- jamesmotherway 2y agoI understand where you're coming from, but Apple Intelligence is labelled as a beta feature.
- sentientslug 2y agoA beta feature, yet marketed as the primary selling point of their newest flagship phone. Something feels off about that.
- FireBeyond 2y agoReleasing betas as a public release would not have been something Apple ever used to do. And I suspect that they were more between a rock and a hard place with respect to "it has been hyped so much, everyone is expecting something, we've promised something. But so far, it ain't great." Apple of old wouldn't release. Apple now, does. But I don't think it should be necessarily be painted as some kind of deliberate strategy of theirs.
- pjmlp 2y agoThe old Apple that almost went bankrupt, had plenty of products with beta quality. Even worse as there wasn't an update over the wire for them.
- theshrike79 2y agoIt's because the "brains" of the AI system can be updated every day, it doesn't need a full iOS release.
