Generative AI is being thrown around as the next big leap in consumer electronics, but outside of a vastly-improved Siri I’m at a loss as to what it is exactly consumers are wanting in this space.

It is the next big leap, and companies will be seen by consumers as failing if they don’t have gen AI tools/apps in the next 1-2 years (tops).

Apple knows Siri sucks. Gen AI is a good way of improving it, but they’ll naturally want to control output so Siri isn’t saying embarrassing or misleading things that hurts Apple’s reputation.

Google’s doing an okay job at this with Bard. It’ll be built into Assistant soon if they manage to get their act together. Apple will want to get in on that for sure - and honestly, if they can’t do that by iOS 18, it’ll be a bit embarrassing for them and a bad look for stockholders.

Beyond that, they’ll probably keep building on gen AI for a while. There are lots of applications for that.

I’m a lawyer. Apple won’t care about your internet post (and may try to find a way to use it as evidence against you if you get into a legal dispute).

You should delete it and look into talking to a lawyer. Apple has already (allegedly) gaslighted you, so why would you posting this on a random internet forum change that?

Why not just sell both? You don’t seem to wear either the 6 or 7 very much since you have the Ultra.

If I had to choose, I’d say sell the 7 — you’ll get more money for it to put toward the S9, and you’ll be able to keep the sentimental Series 6.
