| They’re not way behind on AI, they’re way behind on LLMs. Several features they presented depend heavily on AI. |

| As an Apple user, what are they behind on? What features are other makers shipping that Apple is missing? (Genuinely curious, perhaps there are third-party apps I can use to bridge the gap.) |

| ▲ | runako 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Pardon my ignorance, but is this part of Android or a standalone app? Is it something that is not usable on Apple devices? | | |
| ▲ | xnx 2 days ago | parent [-] | | It powers part of the Google Photos app on Android. It can be used on Apple devices through Gemini, but it is not well known yet. | | |
| ▲ | adastra22 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Probably because Google marketing is the worst. Wtf is “nano-banana.” This is straight out of a Silicon Valley HBO skit. | | |
| ▲ | xnx 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I can almost excuse them for not hyping this too broadly because of how disruptive to certain jobs it will be. |

| How are they behind, in terms of things normal people actually use? Apps like ChatGPT work just fine, and I have literally never heard an Android user I know personally talk about something they can do which isn’t available on iOS. |

| That’s not true. There were multiple AI features presented, just very well-known ones like the babel fish AirPods Pro. Nothing fancy, but it’s still AI and it’s useful. |

| in some ways (hardware) they're ahead, their dominance in mobile chip power lets them do a lot more machine learning on-device also hard to find a better laptop for running an LLM locally too |
