Daring Fireball: Apple Is Delaying the ‘More Personalized Siri’ Apple Intelligence Features
This announcement is disappointing, but unsurprising. If it’s Apple’s general policy not to ship a product before it’s ready, that applies tenfold for a product involving LLM access to deeply private on-device information.
Apple 2025 Plans: iPhone 17, Smart Home Hub, iOS 19, AI, Apple Watch, iPads, M5 - Bloomberg
Apple plans a loaded 2025, with plans for an overhauled iPhone line, new AI features, a smart home push and updates to products it hasn’t refreshed in a while.

This “feature” accomplishes nothing of value for anyone, including the streaming services, but imposes a massive (and for most people, confusing and frustrating) hindrance on honest people simply trying to easily capture high-quality (as opposed to, say, using their damn phone to take a photograph of their reflective laptop display) screenshots of the shows and movies they’re watching.
Dear Apple: add “Disappearing Messages” to iMessage right now – A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering
