It just makes you wonder why Apple is so behind with its apps. I remember when Android was the one struggling to catch up, but now the tables have turned. A friend of mine was able to remove people from a photo ages ago, something that only recently came to iOS. Apple spent so much time and money on those 3D avatars, but honestly, who's using them? I mean, 8-year-olds don't even have iPhones, right? Apple could take inspiration from this little app and build something brilliant using AI and machine learning. - An app that animates your photos and lets you record a message on top - Or a feature in iOS that converts any audio into text and lets you summarise 2 or 5 minute voice messages into a paragraph. I don't have time to listen to long audios. And please, don't just add it to Messages, add it to iOS. - Or an app that turns your voice messages into a video with subtitles for people who can't hear, with animations, background moving, colours, and all the AI jazz. - Or even better, an app that creates images based on what you're saying in the audio. I don't know, there are so many cool ideas floating around. Apple really needs to start showcasing its AI capabilities. Even the camera software feels behind. I keep upgrading the hardware & software and barely see any difference. Tim, if you are reading this: Stay hungry, stay foolish! | |||||||||||||||||

These all really good points. And also really good ideas. I think they're going half heartedly going the way you envisage (i speculate). Mimojis are pretty fun but literally It's an app my 3 year old wants to use. Runway ML has an awesome realisation of some of your ideas, well worth having a look at... Apple allowing developers to access their own AI on device foundation model is apparently a step ahead, but at the same time so much power is being kept under the surface that would be amazing to actually use. I love your thoughts and thinking btw. I think "behind" because they are risk averse and short of a unifying vision atm. Share holder satisfaction and unimaginative decision making perhaps? | |||||||||||||||||
