Apple Intelligence Siri is over a year late, but that might be a good thing »

Michael Burkhadrt points out that more people will get to use the new Siri than if it launched on time. So... it's actually sort of in their favor?

From Michael Burkhardt at 9to5Mac:

All of this time passing means one thing: a lot more people have an Apple Intelligence-capable device.

Everyone who bought any iPhone 16 or iPhone 17 model at all in the past two years (plus anyone who already had an iPhone 15 Pro), will be able to use Apple Intelligence.

*Apple engineer taking this to their boss*: “You see? It’s actually a good thing we were so late.”1

  1. Burkhardt is still correct here, and Apple also shouldn’t have been so late with it. ↩
