- Apple promised the moon with Apple Intelligence. The result so far has been less than stellar.

Just got a new iPhone 16. Typed into Siri “how to set do not disturb “. Siri replied “I’m sorry I can’t do that.” WTF? One would think that Apple would test every configuration setting.
Return it while you still can. I'm bound to switch away for my next phone if this trend of rebranded releases keeps up.
@@denisstepan95 nah how about just say "set focus to do not disturb", see it work, and chill out a bit.
Yes Siri is so bad
@@Äpple-pie-5k The topic of discussion is Apple Intelligence not user input. This request should have been easy to do.
@ It is. "Set focus mode to do not disturb". I don't know how it can get any easier. Look pal, I'm not the one to tell you Siri is perfect. She is literally getting a brain transplant into a different body, so there's going to be some problems for a while. At least they're finally doing it, thank the blue skies!
I didn't just turn it off, I specifically turned on the sharing of usage analytics and *then* turned it off, so that I'll be part of the "turned it off" statistics Apple gets.
I'll turn it back on when 18.4 rolls out just to try it, but even if it works as advertised (which it won't) I honestly can't think of a usecase, so I'll probably turn it back off again very quickly.
It’s shit, as a dedicated iPhone fan girl since iPhone 1 on AT&T, this week I ordered a new Samsung Ultra..
I agree. If I wasn’t so tied into the Apple stuff id jump to something else.
You will go back to the iPhone trust me lol
Haha good luck paying for the 💩y ai on Samsung.
The new Samsung ain’t much better
Got my s25 ultra. Perfect phone❤
I bought the 1 thing that Apple did well in ‘24, the base model Mac mini.
me too, except it's two things. iPhone 16 Pro Max has been through so much obfuscation hype hate misinformation that the original hate police all feel kinda sheepish now having to admit what a seriously super nice deluxe upgrade it is, after time settles in and you start to realise all the invisibly betterness it has to it.
You're right about Apple Intelligence and I almost forgot about its existence but on the other hand there is nothing important being presented to us by the competition. I think Smartphones manufacturers had nothing left to offer that's why they went with the AI route which I believe is still immature.
Lol. So, obviously u haven't used the S25
Two words. Writing tools. I don't care if every other "AI" feature is garbage. This one thing is GROUNDBREAKING REVOLUTIONARY EARTHSHATTERING. Something people 10 years ago would have been bowing on their knees about. Now spoiled first world Karens ignore it and complain about their genmojis. Seriously people, is the problem Apple or is it YOU?
100% agree with the comments about the fiasco of Apple Intelligence. A total misrepresentation of the word “usefulness”. Nothing of the sort is offered by any of the features Apple has released so far in the name of Generative Intelligence or whatever anyone wants to call it……
As for Generative Intelligence of any sort and by any provider…. From my experience trying out all of the variants out there: GPT AI, Gemini, Deep Seek, etc… they are the greatest ripoff of existing humanity knowledge wrapped around the notion that these apps are truly offering something novel…. Perhaps they should be relabeled Generative Rip-off Encyclopedias for that’s what they are: venues designed for distilling , data scrapping, data crawling of existing information and knowledge from the internet, written papers and every other form of information venue previously generated by and stolen/ ripped-off from real people.
Perhaps one day Generative Intelligence will mature into something that will offer breakthrough and useful knowledge…. hurry up and wait.
Look, it was basically a PR stunt. They needed to say they had AI and they needed to do it quickly. At least now they have a base on which to build.
I think after the 2024 debacle, it's safe to say that Tim Apple was riding Steve's coat tails for about 10 years. When it was time to innovate again, Apple looks to be in a heap of trouble! I'm selling!
I agree; since Steve left us, the company really has not innovated. Samsung make them look geriatric in their product lines.
@@marcusnz232fr really it’s like they took the let’s refine this design even more move the cameras this direction now,slap the new chip, re pick metal alloys and colors and re make software
Nah. It's already caught up to near equal in a field it was 2 years behind in, and seriously focusing on pulling ahead. Every company makes mistakes and has challenges. Apple is handling this one seriously and catching up, while continuing its lead in the frankly more important categories.
This is painfully honest tech, tech so much it hurts!
Why access GPT through Siri when you can go straight to a better user experience through the GPT app or Gemini app themselves?
You nailed it and that's what Samsung does but Apple with it's supposed AI is utterly ridiculous and PATHETIC
Don't think either/or, think BOTH/AND. When your phone is on the table and you're cooking and forgot the answer to something, do "Siri, ask GPT..." and get the answer hands free.
When your phone is in your hands hit the action button to select to go right into GPT and use it like a trooper.
This way, you're doubly better than any scenario the world throws at you. Nothing to be bitchy about, everything to be thankful about. It truly ROCKS!
Samsung came out in the beginning of 2024 with AI features on the S24-series (all available at launch), and Apple couldn't even catch-up towards the end of the year. Galaxy S25 series and the new Gemini on Android further annihilated Apple's archaic software.
nah, GPT passthrough is getting me better results EASIER nearly every time over Gemini. Rarely Gemini does impress me though, but it's not enough to make up for the 5/6 of the time GPT is better.
@Äpple-pie-5k *Try it now.* Google just made 2.0 Flash the default model for all users. 1.5 Pro was pretty bad and hallucinated a lot. The new one works like a charm.
You are 100% correct it’s a joke. Apple anymore is a piece of. Chit company.
In the Netherlands Siri is better, we don’t have Apple Intelligence yet 😂
I asked Siri (enhanced by Apple Intelligence) yesterday for an update on my Apple Store order.
I got given directions to the Sony Store….!
And what sort of adult who buys these multiple thousand dollar devices wants to create emojis?!
I have to say that I am very close to switching back to Samsung. It is only because I love my MBP that I have stuck with iPhone.
Same I really wish we could use MacBook with androids phones 📱 but maple keeps fucking around honestly they can do this for so long that the 😂time finally came were androids reigns supreme again😂
actually I love creating the emojis. I have to talk to all different kind of demographics. Children, sensitive women with an emotional issue, etc. Texts used to be the landmine field where anything you say can be taken wrong and turn into a drama. Better emoji IQ, though I resisted at first, has been a saving grace for quality of life and human relationships
@@Äpple-pie-5k damn dude sensitive women with an emotional issue sounds like something said when womens husbands and families put them in insane asylums for having depression or not being obedient 😅
You CAN have the best of both worlds. I have my MBP and I have purchased a Pixel 8 Pro.
Excellent analysis. I never thought I could feel embarrassed for Apple but their AI attempt is cringeworthy. Very satisfying to set my iPhone action button to open Google Gemini..
Wow!!!!! That was a really great idea!!!! I’ve never thought about doing that!!!! (I’m going to set this on my iPhone right now)
I have to wonder what would Steve Jobs do/say to Tim Cook about... many Apple things...
He'd probably be thinking about firing him right about now.
I also imagine time to time what Steve Jobs would think if he could see what Apple has become. I miss him and Jony Ive so much!!!!
Absolutely agree. Haven't found a single thing that it has been able to assist with as yet.
I forgot to say. The “writing tools” are so clearly “AI”, you can tell it was not written by a living human being. Making it just cringy and totally pointless.
I wish Apple would’ve made changes that mattered: like new animations (or option to increase speed of current ones), ability to adjust haptic feedback level, just to name a couple. It’s embarrassing as you stated.
Or a numbers row on the keyboard😂
@ yup! Fix autocorrect, add a clipboard, universal back gesture. Fix the terrible wallpaper settings page UI.. I could go on and on!
Even the features you are asking for is lackluster and behind Google's Pixel😅
@ that might be true, but really that’s more of a reflection on how far behind Apple is than anything. Just sad
Great video - more of these need to be made by the community. It is extraordinary bad. Unexplainably bad. I also disabled the feature. Not only is it utterly useless, it just drains battery. Good god
As a German I never was able to turn it on.
Seems like I did not miss something.
I used Image Playground once and immediately deleted it, trash
I definitely never asked for this…which is also why I don’t give a crap. Siri has never worked, I don’t use it, don’t miss it, and don’t buy Apple for Siri. So all the reasons I buy Apple still serve me. But it’s good knowing it sucks so I don’t waste time messing with it. Thank you brother.
I have an I phone 13 and I upgraded from a mini 4 to a mini 7. When iOS upgraded to 18.3, it came to life....and I still ain't used it.
Yes you can disable Apple intelligence but you can’t stop it hogging disk space, about 5gb
Apple AI lacks the wow factor for me. I rarely use it because it feels more "cute" than genuinely useful. I definitely prefer CoPilot. Somehow, Apple's various AI-included UIs are starting to feel overly cute, and seemingly overly tailored for consumers than professionals. I guess it’s all starting to feel too bubbly.
I have the 16PM. I have been with Apple since the iPhone 3GS. I don’t really use the iMac much or the iPad. I have buyer remorse.
Apple had its peak, now its declining like every other company in the history.
Nope. You're behind in tech news or watching the wrong youtubers I think. By March you're going to see Apple at $270/share and the reaason is going to be 2 upcoming products. One of them setting a new bar in portable computing never before achieved.
@ yeah like vision pro fiasco?
@@ozgurinsan Vision Pro was tour de force success. Far more explosive than the third best debut of all time (the Apple II), and a firm second behind iPhone.
We often forget what Apple II and iPhone 1 were like when first launched. More of a dream and proof of concept that people immediately "got it" and knew something big would come years in future.
Now spoiled first-world entitled Karens are like "WTF it isn't disrupting the entire industry on first launch? What a fiasco!" Same culture that judges public companies on this quarter's earnings instead of successful execution of the long game over years. The latter is what leads to dominance and success and Apple is one of the last to still be following this plan.
My confidence in Apple has been eroded. They seem to no longer have a clear vision, they’re all over the place.
@@RobertDiPenice definitely
The main Apple Intelligence features are really coming out in April in iOS 18.4. Thats where they showed all the crazy stuff what Apple Intelligence can do. The ones that came out rn are just the small shit nobody cares about.
What’s the main feature?
@thejasontlewis
1) Onscreen awareness for Siri.
2) Siri 2.0 (the really smart Siri, not to dumbass one thats out now like they promised)
3)Siri’s New App Action Catalog
4) Personal Context Knowledge
5) Priority Notifications (and improvements to summary notifications)
6) Sketch Style in Image Playground
7) Siri 2.0 multitasking your personal context.
@@XDBoomBoomXD
Good luck with that
I'm glad this video exists, I turned it off after talking to my family, friends and everyone how Apple Intelligent will be a game changer but when it came, it was sooo embarrassing!
Yeah, I had faith, but my faith was misplaced.
Apple has never been any good at this. Siri has always been a joke and worthless
This was known for a while. You yourself said "always been a joke" so nothing new to you either. The more interesting point you failed to mention and which everyone should know, is that Siri was finally released from coma ward in the hospital. She's in physio AS WE SPEAK. Last month she took her first step. This month she's on the walker going 100 yards. In a very short time, so slowly you don't notice it like a frog boiling in a pot, she's going to be world class.
iOS 18.x and iPhone 16 pro has been sold to the consumer as a beta test from the get go.
very well said,i agree completely. Excuse my punctuation i dont have apple to help me.
I am in EU, I have not even tested apple intelligence
It's all marketing to get people to buy a new device that otherwise wouldn’t have purchased one.
I upgraded from the 13 pro max to 16 pro
Max and am very happy. Apple intelligence is fine in my opinion. I don’t see why people are complaining.
They should have done it what Deepseek did with their m4 chips or something
Just turned mine off. Thank you. It’s been beyond useless.
Super disappointing. Not useful at all.
I think it’s to gather more information from people, criminal and financial information.
At current your right it’s basically useless. I think cell phones as a whole technology have reached their pinnacle, probably a year or two ago. With that being said I’m not sure they can do anything else with the tech, they already have satellite communication. Cell phones are a dying breed. I wonder what the next big communication thing will be… but until then it’s going to be a slow rolling death of the cell phone. Just my opinion but I can’t see much of anything else coming to a cell phone that doesn’t already exist in some form.
Its almost as if AI isnt as perfect as the industry wants you to think it is
More so apples implementation of it or lack thereof
When Craig Federighi took the position as the Senior Vice President of software engineering at Apple the OS has gone down hill. If only Scott Forstall had remained the Apple senior vice president of software engineer for Apple none of this crap would happen.
You got scammed by apple 🍏
siri can't even open folders in mac
I was an Apple fan boy for many, many years. And one day I got tired of paying for a lack of innovation. Not a totally new invention, device or tool. But paying over $1kUSD for a new phone that looked like the last 7-10 phones I bought from them. Imagine buying a car every 2-3 years and the only difference was the color choice and a slightly bigger motor but it cost a few thousand more. Went to Samsung and never looked back. Apple has lost the spirit of Jobs.
Apple Intelligence cannot even find an appointment in my Apple calendar 😢. It doesn't work!!!!!!!
I know. It’s still basically Siri.
Apple intelligence may suck but at least the light around the phone when u enact Siri works. That has to mean something.
You forgot to say “lol”
I think Apple got stock with their yearly Event presentation, they sit in a round table and start brain storming about how the event will be, then they start coming with ideas, like let’s change the slide show in Apple Photos app, or let’s have a defaulted send me a copy of an email I just sent to some, so they can sell more iCloud storage. They are running out of good and practice ideas.
I think Apple ought to switch to a bi-yearly iPhone launch. They have so many different products and services to work on now. I think they need more time to polish everything. Just my opinion.
I sold all of my Apple tech and it's the most intelligent thing I did last year.😁
What did u replace with?
Smart man. Try out Google Pixel
Disagree. Please don't get invested in your decision. Watch with open eyes what's happening in the space. AI is 1% of the importance of a device, why get upset over your Mac's bad AI being still much better than your PC's lack of AI? Calm down your pony there cowboy, because we're literally settlers on the Oregon trail and even the not so important AI is going big places. But the rest of it? The rest of it? WOW Apple is skyrocketing its lead. BY APPLE STOCK NOW. Check the date of this post and the date you're reading it. YEP, higher.
@ Google Pixel 9 Pro XL - zero regrets
@ That's exactly what I got😁
I thought he was Steven Spielberg for a minute then
If Apple intelligence is “ AI fit the rest of us” I wonder what Apple actually thinks of us.
If that’s any indication, they don’t think much of us.
Like I said before. Apple and apple users are not ready for Ai.
Siri , enhanced by Apple inteligence, is a completely disgrace. Not just the writting features that never works but the assistant that get the directions wrong 90% of times, that cant drive you to an address when you’re driving or openning an app or help you to Find a setting all things that my Pixel 7 can do reliably and accurately.
It’s so bad that I think it can bring the company to the drain if they dont fix it soon.
They need to take advantage of that apple pro chip in someway on the iPad Pro, wtf is the point
Still on iPhone 13 Pro ; no AI needed . I am good 👍
Apple Intelligence as a joke
I have the 16 Pro and it's a decent phone. I turned off the camera control and played with Apple 'Intelligence', then turned it off as well off. I had no interest and they've given me no indication that I'll want them in the future. They screwed the pooch on these. Apple should concentrate on making the software stable. I haven't had any major issues on iOS 18, just a couple glitches, so I'm ok with it.Personally, I don't care about or need AI.
Apple AI is a total phatetic joke not even working outside the US 😅
I've just got 18.3 update on my 15 Pro Max. It's been offering me umpteen new features, so I'll have a bash at it and see just how bad it is !!
Up to now, I've been more anti-AI than pro, so I imagine this could fail to persuade me otherwise !! 😄
Siri was more functional and far better before Apple intelligence and even then it wasn’t great
The only reason apple intelligence is a thing is because of investors…all of the other tech companies have “A.I.” stuff so apple needed to put something together for the investors….
How about the new photo library 🤢🤬🤬🤬
It's an insult to Chat's artificial intelligence.
At least Apple Intelligence can be turned off. Compared to Microsoft's CoPilot that cannot be turned off.
I use perplexity pro on phone and desktop and it’s amazing especially with writing tools yeah Apple intelligence is really bad bummer. It also requires more resources etc🤪
This is what happens when you put the penny pinchers in charge 😄
Genius or joke? Mostly it’s useless.
A joke, for sure. An iJoke!
I still can’t use Apple intelligence in Europe 😭💀
Agreed. I want my iPhone 13 Pro Max back! 😡
Thanks for reminding me to switch that nonsense off.
Let me find out you and others are now dropping y’alls Apple Intelligence vids because of The Verge lol
Apple intelligence is a joke, as I predicted.
I love Apple. I was a Graphic Designer in the UK at a Newspaper that were the first to use Macintosh. My nickname is The MacMaster. But. Apple AI is beyond a joke!!!! Siri has always been a joke. My siri keeps changing to USA even though I'm in the UK. Sack the programmers. Oh and Apple Vision Pro. Fail.
Ive been using Macs forever, this past year’s ineptness has given me pause.
@ I feel that they have lost their way. OK their M4 Chips are awesome. But it seems like they are not innovating. Their phones are incremental. I bought the new iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. I'm not sold on the camera button and it's not that much better than the 15 Pro Max. I dunno, shouldn't say it. But I will. What would Steve Jobs have thought? You're right Apple AI is dumb. 👍🏼 Great video. Keep up the good work.
@@TheMacMasterLee, would love to see you do some tech reviews. Have a go at the new galaxy s25 ultra . May give you some welcome relief from the milk float 😁
That’s what mine does! I thought it was an error with the language setting. Nightmare
True Apple intelligence it’s so dumb especially when takes a one more step to ask chat gpt, why can’t get the answer in one go
The words fun and Apple don't go together.
Siri has been less than spectacular from day one, why are we surprised at this latest failure.
7:59 sadly seems these are the type people working at apple today
I legit switched from my iPhone 15 pro to my pixel 8a because apple intelligence just made my iOS experience worse.
No one asked for Apple intelligence, just like no one asked for Microsoft Copilot
We've already reached pretty much the level that people need, so they're just flailing around trying to do something 'new'
Hopefully it will quietly disappear like Apple Vision
Best product last year was Mac Mini m4
I thought about that but I decided to give the nod to the iPad Pro because of the screen and new thinness. Same internals as the Mac mini
@ I bought both but yea that tandem OLeD is insane
Benny Hill, baby 😂
So can someone say that Galaxy AI with Samsung and Google together is better ?
100%
Apple this year made me look elsewhere for a phone. I've had enough year-over-year with gimmicky sub-par features. When i see what Samsung/Google have done, i feel embarrassed for Apple.
i asked siri " using my photos, when was i last in ### (a town)". it couldn't answer. Fails every aspect of being "intelligent helper". its very disappointing.
The truth hurts.
I have Google Assistant on my 15 Pro Max 😳
I'm the only Android in a house of iPhones...my wife's iPhone (16Pro) is the only one capable of Apple Intelligence...she doesn't use it...I barely use it on my Samsung S25...nobody's winning with this AI...Nobody...Android's way ahead in development of it, but it's not what they claim it to be...I imagine Apple is so far behind that it won't be anything they want it to be for 10 years...
Image playground is a steaming pile of shit, no argument
Siri is better but I’m holding judgement until we get 18.4.
Image cleanup is good for small edits, struggles on the big stuff. Writing tools are ok
Notification summaries are really useful for me as I’m part of a lot of busy group chats and Reduce Interruptions works nicely when I don’t want a load of notifications but also don’t want to shut everything out with Do Not Disturb.
At the moment it’s a C grade from me.
Apple Intelligence was for investor herd. Now DeepSeek proves Apple avoided billions in wasted investment. At least I got more RAM for less because of Apple Intelligence.
Nope
It is terrible. My first test of an AI image generator is "create an image from the Tron universe". Grok had the best result IMO, but they all could do it. EXCEPT Apple Intelligence Image Playground. It kept telling my "language not supported". I don't think it understands proper names or something.
I use iPhone and Android. I can use Gemini 2 now quite in a usefuĺl way. Apple lost the horizon of the marketing. IMHO.
Apple Intelligence = India Intelligence 😂
Unfortunately, all it did was introduce me to Chat GPT.
I can save everyone some time. Bad bad joke!
What part made you think I was joking?
i dont want ia i dont need it
It'll get better with time but for now it's worthless
😆👍🏻
My question is how can this or any company maintain the privilege of limited liability when it knowingly, wantonly and carelessly produces flapdoodle? How bad will the powers-that-be let it get before someone says enough! ps Just imagine how bad the paid-for versions might be.
Dude! It's an awesome multicolour rectangular ring around the display when I summon Siri! What more do you want?! Sheesh!
But PS - the actual phone is awesome, Camera Control notwithstanding! (No joke)
PPS - I 100% agree re the moron-inducing inevitability of writing tools. As a university prof, it frightens the hell out of me!
