Since Apple Intelligence launched last fall, the company’s AI efforts have mostly amounted to a string of setbacks. The biggest one? The full suite of Apple Intelligence features still hasn’t rolled out and likely won’t for another nine months,” Gene Munster writes for Deepwater Asset Management. “That puts it about a year behind schedule, a kind of delay I haven’t seen in all my years following Apple.’
Gene Munster for Deepwater Asset Management:
Until recently, based on Apple’s capex outlook, I had all but ruled out the company offering its LLM to developers. But according to reporting from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, it now sounds like Apple will start offering its smaller models, and eventually its full LLM, to developers. The announcement is expected at WWDC. The big unknown is timing of when will developers actually be able to build these models into their apps. My guess is we’ll start to see the smaller models go live late this year.
Shares of AAPL barely moved on the news, likely because investors still see Apple’s AI push as a “show me” story after so many recent delays.
MacDailyNews Take: Anything positive whatsoever on the Apple Intelligence vaporware front would be most appreciated by Apple device users, developers, and AAPL shareholders.

Does Tim Cook have any idea what is happening at Apple his statements and announcements show a complete lack of comprehension of what is going on.is he working from home?
Unfortunately, he has no clue. Left in the dust by competitors. It’s a shame, really.
considering x-ai built and trained the 100K GPU xAI Colossus Cluster in memphis in 121 days shows how clueless Apple is, they lack vision and leadership, Apple should replace their current CEO with an AI chatbot. I bet a LLM could come up with a better AI strategy then current leadership.
First, issue pink slips to all Apple employees who are involved, seemingly unproductively, in AI. Second, acquire Anthropic and its entire workforce. Third, replace every single Board Member. Fourth, get back to work literally, figuratively, creatively, and enthusiastically.
I suspect their “muscles” will bench about 30 lbs.
2 lbs is more appropriate.
