08 August 2024
This isn't a leak, nor even a rumor - it's speculation pulled out of thin air.

                    Well, "speculation pulled out of thin air" is well on form for GSM Arena writer staff themselves.

                      Because I recently purchased an Iphone 15, I wont get AI. So i decided to try it on a friends iphone 15 pro. Apple intelligence in a gimmick...straight up....

                        20 for what???
                        An useless gimick which samsung have for half year and litterary nothing impressive or good came from it???

                          And people moaned at Samsung.

                            Neilbadia, 09 Aug 2024Ok. I can understand that you have to pay to manipulate ima... moreI'm not talking about job, lot of people do AI art just for fun. And of course app makers or companies see money in that. Like in many other AI tasks. I found AI app which could count calories from my food plate, quite incredible that stuff like that is possible, it also have monthly fee.

                              Galaxy S 24 Ultra, 09 Aug 2024Not sure how people really can benefit from ChatGPT or Copi... moreYeah it's so hard to imagine how computers doing human tasks better than humans at 1000xs the speed could be at all useful

                                Not sure how people really can benefit from ChatGPT or Copilot other than for those who work in tech industry try to get boilerplate code from these tools and some artists/content creators get some help from these AI tools. But for the rest of the 90%+ population, there is nothing beyon animoji making, cropping the image and writing few sentences in the email, document. As far as Apple intelligence goes, I am not sure how far they are good considering their failures in Siri (though, the very first one to start voice assistant) and many software/services related failures. Even the Google Voice assistant / Alexa which are far more polished than Srini, are not worth paying subscription even $1 forget alone $20 for far rich Apple.
                                I always pay subscription fees for the Apps outside the iOS ecosystem so that the developers gain as much as possible. I pay subscription in the web browser.

                                  -Trix-, 08 Aug 2024Actually quite many already does, many AI photo apps for ex... moreOk. I can understand that you have to pay to manipulate images and do the job in less time, but it is your job, its work. OK. Not paying to have AI in my phone to do common tasks like send emails correctly, or make a Note. U know what I mean.

                                    If the AI comes free in the software as a bonus to get costumers into the ecosystem I might be able to use it. But if I have to pay a penny, well is an absolute NOO. I´ll stick with my own Intelligence, which is by the way, better and free.

                                      potato4k, 09 Aug 2024Why not just bundle it into Apple One? I mean who wants to... moreI think that will be the way they do it

                                        namzap, 09 Aug 2024he didnt, he was just saying his opinion if this actually h... moreOh he quite obviously did, otherwise his comment would have said how out of touch with reality Apple executives would be if they choose to do this.
