  • FIRE Keith : It's good to see Apple is getting serious into GenAI.
    With Apple's cash vault and talents, Apple can excel in this area.

  • EddyHamster : gogo Apple AI.....AI aka Apple Intellingence....hohoho

  • 10baggerbamm : the million dollar question is is how quickly can apple integrate AI into their phones where that becomes the catalyst and the 2 billion users want to upgrade and spend $1,500 for a new phone because a better camera with higher resolution clearly as we have seen is not the solution to coming out with the next gen iPhone
