Yes but they also haven’t generated spicy deep fakes and talked kids into suicide with their products.
It’s just how Apple does things: They still have no folding phone, under-screen finger print scanner, under-screen front-cam, etc.
- moltopoco 9mo agoThey did still overpromise and that should not be the way Apples does things (although it was hardly the first time; the AirPower mat was announced in 2017).
- delis-thumbs-7e 9mo agoTo be fair, all tech companies do this. Sell first, implement later, hype hype hype. Of course we’d like to think Apple was better, but well.. it isn’t.
- GeekyBear 9mo agoGoogle certainly shipped Magic Cue as their tentpole new AI feature on the Pixel 10 despite it not working. > “The right info, right when you need it.” That’s how Google describes Magic Cue, one of the most prominent new AI features on the Pixel 10 series. Using the power of artificial intelligence, Magic Cue is supposed to automatically suggest helpful info in phone calls, text messages, and other apps without you having to lift a finger. However, the keyword there is “supposed” to... even when going out of my way to prompt Magic Cue, it either doesn’t work or does so little that I’m amazed Google made as big a deal about the feature as it did. https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-10-magic-cue-one-month-later-3598684/ https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-10-magic-cue-o...
- internet2000 9mo agoApple is better though. Hence the only examples being Apple Intelligence and AirPower
- cush 9mo agoWhataboutism doesn’t justify what Apple did. They took billions of dollars from consumers using demos of products those consumers never received.
- alexkundera 9mo agoApple is always behind on industry trends, but when they adopt them eventually, they become mainstream and cool. This is what will happen with the folding phones this year, if rumors are true.
- bmitc 9mo ago> but when they adopt them eventually, they become mainstream and cool When was this part last true?
- muvlon 9mo agoUSB-C I guess?
- teekert 9mo agoWeeeeelllll that was mainstream a long long time before they adopted it. And I'm still annoyed that the only devices with Lightning in our house are my Airpods en iPhone mini 12 and wife's iPhone 14 Pro. Always need to attach an adapter to my Anker chargers and powerbanks.
- _fw 9mo agoI think the person you’re replying to meant MacBooks. They were USB-C exclusively way before Windows machines.
- teekert 9mo agoAh ok, yeah sure, that was nice (could have added an A and HDMI port in this case, but ok, they were early with that.)
- virgildotcodes 9mo agoIt's funny, I was mad at them for getting rid of magsafe for years, and super excited when they brought it back with the AS macs. Used the cable for a year or two and then decided to simplify my life but just using USB C for everything. I hope they can forgive me for doubting their benevolent wisdom, I promise never to do it again.
