> I suspect instead that Apple, knowing they fucked up w/ regard to devs, want to completely control their own mea culpa and not risk a slip-up/soundbite coming from a talk show. I have watched many of “The Talk Show” post WWDC episodes, but I don’t think John Gruber actually asks (or has asked) tough questions at that event. This time though, it would’ve been extremely awkward not to ask any questions at all about the state of Apple Intelligence and where it’s heading. For Apple, it would be difficult to focus on other topics that it wants to advertise to the audience. > I do expect an apology during the Keynote. How sincere an apology, well that's up to the developers to decide. Apple never apologizes in public and doesn’t admits mistakes as mistakes in public (it may sometimes acknowledge certain things and word it very differently). At least not as a full fledged apology of any sort for various reasons. IIRC, there’s already a class action lawsuit filed against it for misleading and false promises about Apple Intelligence. The last thing Apple would do is provide more ammo for that suit to succeed and for more lawsuits to be filed for every misstep and egregious delivery in/from its announcements.
