This is the beginning of an exciting new era. Brandon Butch / @brandonbutch : For those still asking: “why is there a waitlist for Apple Intelligence?” Here's some good insight from a server engineer: “The real cause is almost certainly enrolling you in Private Cloud Compute. That's the server side of Apple Intelligence. Some of your requests are handled locally, while more complex ones are sent to the cloud. This is illustrated in Apple's public documentation of PCC (https://security.apple.com/ documentation/private-cloud-compute/ requestflow#Apple-Intelligence- orchestration). So this is a real buttcheek clenching day for Apple server engineers... @sirthomas1985 : Apple should have waited until the Apple intelligence was fully functional before even speaking about it. Breaking it up into different updates and not fully ready until next year just doesn't make any sense. Mark Gurman / @markgurman : Still odd that Apple's head of software — not its head of AI — is still the one representing Apple Intelligence. The head of AI spoke at WWDC but he's otherwise completely uninvolved in any public, marketing or PR capacity. [image] Andrew O'Hara / @andrew_osu : I'm getting so many questions — and pissed off users — when it comes to the Apple Intelligence wait list. Apple did acknowledge this back at WWDC but not everyone watches that. This could have maybe been conveyed a bit better I think. Brandon Butch / @brandonbutch : For those asking: “why is there a waitlist for Apple Intelligence?” The reason is because each phone has to download the Apple Intelligence models from Apple's servers. If everyone were to download at once, the servers would crash & the wait would be even longer. Patience! [image] Josh Elman / @joshelman : Apple Intelligence is here! Update your iPhones, iPads, and Macs to the latest software and you can get Apple Intelligence. Been a truly exciting product to be a part of building and delivering 🚀🙏 https://www.apple.com/... Gabriel / @gabrieltaibi : You're telling me I downloaded iOS 18.1 to get Apple Intelligence and it's STILL not even technically out, I had to join a waitlist???? Insane Daniel Newman / @danielnewmanuv : As we launch into this mega week of tech earnings, is there a better jump off point than talking about today's launch of Apple Intelligence (at least for those that could get it?) I joined the Power Lunch crew (Kelly and Tyler) today on CNBC and we tried to break down whether or [image] Max Weinbach / @maxwinebach : Apple's been talking about a waitlist for Apple Intelligence since WWDC why is this a surprise Dan Ives / @divestech : The consumer AI Revolution will go through Cupertino and with 300 million iPhones not upgrading in 4 years this gives Apple the start of a supercycle with iPhone 16 in our view @SquawkStreet 🔥🏆🐂🍿👇 Basic Apple Guy / @basicappleguy : The Apple Intelligence Waitlist Experience [image] @tailosivetech : Why is there a waitlist to use something that's “on device?” If it requires a server why isn't it on older hardware? [image] Gene Munster / @munster_gene : Some changes to my iPhone expectations as Phase 1 of Apple Intelligence goes live today. After playing around with the Beta for the past week, I've found it to be a nice addition, but not a must have. The reality is the substance of the iPhone 16 upgrade cycle will take ~6 more months to roll out and doesn't change my optimism around the supercycle for the next 2 years... Saagar Enjeti / @esaagar : I updated my phone for “Apple Intelligence” and its literally exactly the same So uh, really loving the Iphone 16 pro Brandon Butch / @brandonbutch : To clarify/correct myself: Apple is doing a gradual rollout of Apple Intelligence because they WANT to. It's not that they DON'T have the capacity to ship it to everybody at once, they clearly do. They're slowly rolling it out to make sure everything goes smoothly & no hiccups Max Weinbach / @maxwinebach : Two big Apple announcements today 1. Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.1 will roll out today, this is writing tools, Siri being more conversational, summaries, etc 2. New M4 iMac with USB C accessories! There's a new nano texture glass version and it starts at 16GB RAM now [image] Ray Wong / @raywongy : Every iPhone 16 or 16 Pro owner should be given priority access to Apple Intelligence before any iPhone 15 Pro owners... since Apple has been advertising it as a selling point since launch over a month ago [image] Dan Ives / @divestech : We believe bears/long time Apple naysayers that have missed the last $1 trillion+ upward move in mkt cap for 🍎 have miscalculated 3 important dynamics of the Apple story: 1. Installed base and pent up demand, 2. Services valuation/growth, 3. AI driver into 2025 @SquawkStreet 🐂 Aaron Zollo / @zollotech : Promising Apple Intelligence with iPhone 16 and then releasing it a month later is bad enough. Now people have to be on a waitlist to have promised features? Such a strange rollout this year. [image] Robert Scoble / @scobleizer : Apple has been putting AI inferencing in its products for years. And yet people think it is behind. :-) Tae Kim / @firstadopter : Imagine advertising and marketing the iPhone 16 as being built from the ground up for AI, then releasing these AI features more than a month after the phone's launch .. as a beta. Max Weinbach / @maxwinebach : All Apple Silicon Mac's support Apple Intelligence All from M1 on, including the M1 Mac mini that started at like $599 Great to see that 4 years of backwards compatibility Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz : Apple Intelligence was a vision, not a product. And it's weird that Apple is selling it as the latter. Aaron Zollo / @zollotech : Just to clarify, I still love Apple, but I get very concerned when I see what appears to be something very un-Apple going on these days with odd marketing when products aren't out, waitlists for released products and uninspired hardware updates such as the keyboard and mouse. @applesupport : With iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, you can make a #Siri request without speaking.

Not just the new one.
