Apple's senior VP of software engineering, Craig Federighi, first announced Apple intelligence back in 2024 at the WWDC keynote.

And they would still not for some time.

Again, in 2025, more promises for even more powerful AI, or really AI that was powerful at all, and hinting at a rebirth for Siri

Zoe, this is so much like when you and I are both reporters and editors to a certain extent, but it's very familiar when you are in a situation where you're going to your editor and saying, I'm just going to do a little more reporting.

I have made so much progress on this story, but I just need like another week or two for more calls.

It's so tiny.

Well, and this is an audio medium, but his hair is also famously, I think, the best hair in Silicon Valley.

So Craig has a lot going for him.

Yes.

Just not Siri capabilities.

But the changes brought by both of these announcements were underwhelming to say the least.

And to say the most, we should point out that about a month ago, Apple agreed to pay a settlement of $250 million for a class action lawsuit that basically said that Apple intelligence is not that intelligent.

It's not living up to the promises that Apple made.

So it's sort of a situation of, you know, fool me once, shame on me.

Fool me twice, shame on you.

Fool me three times.

Exactly.

So, yeah, that's what has happened.

Now Apple is going to rely largely on Google Gemini to help power Apple intelligence under the hood.

Zoe, what do you make of that?
