Roy: Apple Intelligence will face further delays or disillusion users
“Either it'll get more and more delayed, or it will be a half-baked feature that they've oversold so much that the average user, which is what Apple's promises, is bring these technologies to the average user, will just be disillusioned or just think this is st…”

Roy: iPhone 16 offers no compelling upgrade case due to AI delays
“If no one is upgrading their iPhone, which I do not think this creates a compelling case in any way, and they're not even saying it is because if you're telling me that it's going to be nine months to a year from now before I can create generative emoji, or in…”

Ives: Current fiscal year will be Apple's strongest iPhone unit year ever
“So regardless of what you want to say about Apple intelligence, if it's going to be rolled out in October, November, January, February, in the next, for this fiscal year, this will, unless some black swan event happens, be the strongest iPhone unit year ever h…”

Newton: Apple Intelligence is built for users two years behind cutting-edge AI
“If you're, like, a tech nerd, like we are, and you want to live in the future, and you want to, like, use tools to improve your life, you would not be using any of the Apple intelligence stuff, because it, like, it truly is aimed at somebody who is two years b…”

Apple has failed to successfully implement its Apple Intelligence features
“Apple intelligence is almost the perfect example of the problem that I'm pointing toward, which is that we have this technology that's so promising, and yet even Apple cannot implement it successfully. And that might, I mean, obviously it says something about …”

Kantrowitz: Apple Intelligence is tech's biggest presentation-to-reality failure
“Look, I've been doing this for a very long time, and I can tell you I've never seen an instance where you have such a high stakes presentation from such a prominent company that undelivers to this, under delivers to this magnitude. It is astonishing how bad it…”

Kantrowitz: Apple Intelligence failure costs Apple more public credibility than Maps
“What they said was taken as gospel. They rarely fair, rarely failed in public. When they did, it was non-consequential, like Apple Maps. I mean, Apple Maps is nothing compared to Apple Intelligence. Now they're failing in public, and they're losing credibility…”

Roy: Apple's Blunder Was Promising Everything at Once With AI
“So I think Apple, the biggest letdown, and again, going back to the gap between promise and reality, is they essentially promised everything all at once to everyone. Rather, rather than being like, okay, let's solve the, go to your inbox and answer all of your…”

Kantrowitz: Apple Intelligence cross-app contextual features failed to ship in 2025
“I mean, if you think back to last year's event, we were promised effectively a contextually aware assistant, Apple intelligence that could combine signals from your apps and make your life easier by doing things like searching your Gmail and telling you when y…”

Roy: Vision Pro Is Incredible Technology, Unlike Apple Intelligence
“Vision Pro, maybe DUD, but Amazing piece of technology. I actually think that was very different than Apple Intelligence. That was almost like too forward looking a piece of technology or too niche, but still an incredible piece of technology. Apple Intelligen…”

Siegler: Apple Spent as Much Time on Phone App as AI
“Apple spent three minutes talking about a phone, the phone app, like who uses the phone app anymore? Like, yeah, there's some nice little cute upgrades, but we didn't need to talk about that for three minutes when we talked about Apple intelligence for roughly…”

Kantrowitz: Siri's 15-year record shows Apple's AI is far behind competitors
“I think that's actually a fine strategy, but only if your AI works really well. And well, the state of Siri the actual ship stuff over the past 15 or so years suggests that it doesn't. They have to get their AI house in order and catch up”
