I am pissed at Apple. I spent CAN$1,129 on my iPhone 15 just 8 frickin' months ago and it's already frickin' obsolete???
At the very least, Apple should provide over-the-air AI functionality in addition to on-device AI. It may be slightly slower but at least my iPhone wouldn't be frickin' bricked.
Apple should be able to optimize the AI codebase to work better in 6GB of memory. Hopefully, they will do that after the software comes out of beta.
I resent being forced to upgrade my phone just to get AI. Normally, I don't upgrade my devices for at least 5 years. CAN$1,129 is not chump change and I won't take a loss in resale. Hey, Apple, I'm not exactly made of money!
If Apple doesn't make me a happy camper in the near future, I will abandon the Apple ecosystem. I will not be treated so shabbily.
