's John Gruber today shared some strongly-worded comments about Apple's delayed personalized Siri features.Gruber is a well-known Apple pundit who has been writing about the company for more than two decades.In a blog post titled "Something Is Rotten in the State of Cupertino," Gruber said Apple's credibility has been "damaged" by the delay: This obviously isn't the first time that Apple has failed to deliver.
However, Gruber said other examples like the canceled AirPower charging mat "tended to be around the edges," whereas he believes that generative AI is going to be "big" and "important." It's not the delay by itself that bothers Gruber.He said the true "fiasco" here is that Apple "pitched a story" last year "that wasn't true": Gruber said the personalized Siri features announced during the WWDC keynote last year were merely conceptual, and therefore "bullshit": He was even more explicit here: Gruber said Apple's repeated unwillingness or inability to demo the personalized Siri features in action since WWDC last year "should have set off blinding red flashing lights and deafening klaxon alarms" in his head that something was wrong.Gruber went as far as saying that Apple's culture of excellence could be at risk if this situation is not handled correctly within the company: The full post is worth a read.
