I hate that Apple, which in 2023 avoided even mentioning AI, just ran with the whole thing in 2024. The iPhone 16 is just an "AI phone" now. Apple, you did not need this rebranding. They should have just introduced the usual "machine learning" features and avoided this rainbowy nonsense. "Features," not "AI features." Hopefully they'll undo the damage in 2026 and rip this unnecessary bandaid off. The reality is that they did a whole lot of nothing in 2023 and scrambled to push something out. Crazy that iOS 18's marquee features weren't even out until December.
