Apple and its apparent indifference to the AI ​​revolution reminds us of one thing: the Blackberry fall

Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence, and everyone is turning not to lose that train. Well, everyone doesn’t. Apple seems not to be especially interested in AI nor is it overlapping like the rest of its rivals. The question is whether that can be your definitive conviction. Wwdc sin (barely) ia. Last week the Microsoft Build and Google I/O conferences were held. In both the focus for AI was absolute. On June 9 Apple will celebrate its WWDC, and All rumors They point out that there will be hardly any news in Apple’s proposals. Instead, the company is expected to talk about the redesign of its operating systems, a project with a “Solarium” code name. Apple keeps losing trains. Apple’s apparent indifference attitude with the field of artificial intelligence is undoubtedly surprising. It is one of the most important technological companies in the world, but still does not react as one would expect from it and Keep losing trains. While the competition reacted quickly developing its own models or reaching agreements and investments with startups such as OpenAi, Apple still did not pay special attention, at least for the gallery. And what he has is disappointing. The company already dedicates thousands of millions of dollars to catch up, but when he finally presented his platform Apple Intelligence The result turned out to be disappointing. Very limited and strenuously slowly In its deployment, caution It is starting to take its toll. Not economically, but reputationally. It is not that this disappointment is pending among external analysts: it is that Even their own employees believe that Apple is behind In ia. The disaster Siri. We have seen it especially with Siri, a voice assistant who was supposed to win many integers thanks to AI but still in the development phase. The promises they made last year have not been fulfilled, and recognized analysts such as John Gruber described the conceptual videos that Apple used as “shit.” Siri’s delay, already confirmed by Appleis the definitive proof that the company is in a worrying situation in this segment. Source: Sherwood News. Remembering Blackberry. When we talk about the reputational crisis From Apple we already made an increasingly striking analogy: that of Blackberry. The company, which dominated the world of mobility with Nokia in the first decade of the 2000s, did not react to the announcement of the iPhone. He was surprisingly indifferent, and the curious thing is that the impact of the iPhone took to notice. In fact, Blackberry sales continued to grow and reached its peak in 2011. From that moment on, fallen into dive. Today the company is a shadow of what it was. Apple annual income. Has the company touched roof? Source: Backlinko. Apple is doing very well (for now). On paper things are going very well for Apple. The company has not seemed to notice the impact of the arrival of Chatgpt, and global sales continue to go up. There is signs of concern, because its star product, the iPhone, It seems to have touched roof. Now in fact the growth is much more modest (2% in 2024) and its Silent transformationalthough effective, seems to confirm that Apple is unable to innovate. Even they have made it clear that They no longer look for the next iPhone. The disruptions, it seems, are overvalued. Apple lives in the past. But as they point out In BloombergApple is living in a “legacy” world, depending on products and services that work it, but do not seem to look at the future. The agreement between Jony Ive and Sam Altman to develop an AI hardware product is another sign that may worry: the company that previously excited and which we expected a disruption was Apple. Now we see others like OpenAi or Google. An increasingly criticized tim cook. That apparent inability to react is making Tim Cook’s succession seem to press. In The Wall Street Journal summary The situation of the Apple CEO, to which the problems accumulate and that continues to focus its strategy on the inertia of the iPhone. But that inertia is not eternal: Eddy Cue, senior executive of the company, testified in the US judicial case against Apple this month and said something unique: “You may not need an iPhone within 10 years, although it sounds like madness.” An opportunity. Apple has been presuming for its commitment to privacy for years, and that was precisely the clear Apple Intelligence approach when they presented it. His promise was that of a more private AI, which we could also execute partially – without need of the cloud – and that would still be as capable as the rest. At the moment, Apple Intelligence benefits are far from competitors, but if Apple manages to catch up at the capacity of their AI and also manage to maintain their privacy promise will have something that competitors in effect do not have. Or two. But we are talking about Apple, a famous company to be late for the revolutions and then win. It should not be ruled out of course in the AI ​​segment, but there may also be new options in the field of hardware. That’s where The connected glasses They can be another accessory Very interesting For a firm that is expected to reinforce its “iPhone ecosystem” with this wearable, and the latest data They point to it.

Mahomes on apparent help from referees: “They are doing their best”

The general perception among NFL fans is that Patrick Mahomes is being excessively protected by refereesbut the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback said this Wednesday that he disagrees. It’s not common for a quarterback to talk to the media about officiating, but the topic of the apparent help that Mahomes and the Chiefs have been receiving from the referees has grown exaggeratedly throughout this season. A reporter asked Mahomes on Wednesday if he felt he had extra protection from officers. “I don’t agree with that,” said Mahomes, who was recently father for the third time. “At the end of the day, the officials are doing their best to run the games as fairly and appropriately as they can.” Texans accused referee protection for Mahomes The most recent controversy arose on Saturday during the Chiefs’ victory over the Texans in their divisional round matchup. The officials penalized Houston twice for personal fouls on Mahomes. Both markings were very debatable and both helped Kansas City sustain those offensive drives and finish them in points. The Chiefs won 23-14. One of those punishments was tagged against linebacker Will Anderson Jr.defensive star of the Texans, who at the end of the game told the press: “We knew it was going to be us against the referees before the game started.” Markings like that have been repeated throughout this season and the previous one.. The San Francisco 49ers ended the last Super Bowl very frustrated when the officials did not call a single penalty of holding against the Chiefs, who won the game in overtime. “All you can do is go out and play the game you love as hard as you can and accept the results,” added Mahomes, who this Sunday will open his seventh consecutive AFC Championship Game (they have won four of them), all in their stadium, when they received the Buffalo Bills. Elaborating on the subject of referees, the three-time Super Bowl MVP said: “We have new referees every year, we have new circumstances, and you can never really know because every play is different and that’s what makes the game so special. NFL. I feel like I’ve just continued playing the sport and just try to win, and whatever has to happen happens.” Keep reading:– Super Bowl LIX is in sight: date and times for the long-awaited conference finals– Chiefs’ victory against Texans with Taylor Swift present sets an audience record– The Rams came very close to giving the big shake in the snow against Philadelphia
