Where exactly is the Apple Intelligence that was advertised? Siri absolutely cannot go into your phone's calendar and see who you bumped into at some bar or café. I've been using the Pixel 9 Pro as my daily driver and while I really wanted to install CalyxOS on it, I've found Gemini to be actually useful (and I'm generally biased against Google).

Apple is behind the curve like Google was prior to Gemini 2.5 Pro, but unlike Google, I cannot see Apple having the talent to catch up unless they make some expensive acquisitions and even then they will still be behind. I was shocked at how good Gemini 2.5 Pro is. The cost and value for money difference is so big that I'm considering switching away from my API usage of Claude Sonnet 3.7 to Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Also, where is Apple Intelligence at all for any other language? I‘m from Germany and my phone is set to German. There is still no option to even enable it, although the phone was marketed all the same for Apple Intelligence.

They’re being sued because it is nowhere. They’re trying to do it on device with a tiny model. All the google Ai stuff is cloud based, run on their massive Google cloud data centres. Apple don’t have those, so getting more talent isn’t gonna fix it!

No. Siri has three parts.

On device AI model which handles light tasks like notifications. Apple Compute Cloud which runs a more powerful version of the same model and handles more complex operations. And integration with OpenAI, Gemini etc for LLM tasks.
