you um basically described the problem
with apple intelligence messages have
yet to experience a single useful AI
summarized iMessage I mean it's the most
visible feature in apple intelligence
and it sucks um give me your your
unvarnished opinion about Apple
intelligence I I'm I am the biggest
apple Fanboy you'll ever meet as you
know I bought the Vision Pro on day one
okay Vision Pro right after this yeah
yeah okay all right division pro day one
holder iPhone 16 whatever iteration are
we on 16 that's whatever I have 16 day
one holder day one for Apple
intelligence I have never been more
disappointed in the Pro you know I
really should I I gotta credit Maris
brownley because he's totally right I'm
an idiot I'm the sucker don't ever buy a
product with the promise of future
product and that's what they did with
this phone is they promised us all of
these cool features with like you said
text message summary email um oh my God
my wife has we both have the same phone
and she actually uses the Apple Mail app
and she's showing me Apple's AI ranking
of her mail it's terrible she had to
turn it off right and so that's the
thing I don't understand I don't
understand with apple is I know you can
do it and you're the you know you've got
this market cap and you've got all this
money and you you're you're the one
telling you're doing it the apple way
you're like we're going to look at it
and then we're going to refine it the
way that we always do with breakthrough
technology
and we're going to make it the easiest
possible thing and then we're going to
roll it out to all of our customers you
guys are going to love it and that's
what they usually do but Apple
intelligence has been a complete bust
I'm an idiot for buying this phone um
it's really it's not different at all AI
Apple AI summaries for my text messages
are garbage literally less than useful I
think the only thing it does is burn
more of my battery the use cases I've
seen on mail awful um do you use the
action button do you have the new one I
have the 15 but I don't really use the
action button at all never use the
action button not once I don't think
I've used it a single time so many
things about this phone where it's such
a bust I I just don't understand how
this happened look I've been doing this
for a very long time and I can tell you
I've never seen an instance where you
have such a high stakes presentation
from such a prominent company that undel
to this underd delivers to this
magnitude 100 astonishing how bad it
100% agree it's horrible it's horrible
the photos thing that's what everybody's
saying is cool guys look this is where
even with the Apple Fanboy Galaxy's had
that for [ __ ] five years like ai ai
editing and and enhancement on your
photos the Galaxy had that for years
like I don't know I'm I'm very very
disappointed um in all of the Apple
intelligence stuff especially because
like you and I we use our iMessage and
stuff for work
and I literally just want to see the
message because I know that the AI
summary is so untrustworthy so it's
actually making my life more difficult
so I have to like unlock my phone and be
like okay what did the messages actually
say as opposed to the dumbass Apple
intelligence I mean it's been almost a
year now right I mean I just I I I can't
even I I don't know what happened with
this entire thing I thought about
turning it off completely just being
like I don't want these summaries and
they're always they're so disp which is
so funny where it's like someone tells
you they can't make an event and it's
just like you know friend says no or
something friend says no and then oh the
suggested comments too are always so
stupid it's like oh that's tough or I
know it's like we can't let the AI take
over and there have been some even
better uh examples of like on Twitter of
people like sharing someone's like sent
them like a breakup text and bit Lon
like just wants to be friends can you
imagine being broken up that way
my God yeah exactly I just want to
experience it in its own words so yeah
I'm very disappointed don't they have
some new announcement what's that going
to be is that the new Mac yeah when this
airs it'll probably be live but
everybody thinks it's the SE the iPhone
se but it you don't know because Tim
Cook says it's going to be a new member
of our family of products and it's like
I'm pretty sure it's just going to be
the same member of your family products
with like you know a new chip in it
which great but yeah they don't have
much to announce anymore yeah they just
really don't I don't know I'm really
bummed um with the way that it's been
like I expected I really thought Vision
Pro was the start of something yes I
before we go let's hear your your Vision
Pro take um is it a paper weight not not
for me because I have always defended it
this way I love to watch movies on it
and um I love in particular Apple TV
shows the way that it's hard to explain
someone who's never used a Vision Pro
but Vision Pro on Apple TV has the
function where you can put yourself um
in a movie theater and so it literally
when I'm on my couch I feel like I'm
watching sance or masters of the air or
any of these shows like I am in the
movies it's incredible especially have
your airpods on but unfortunately as you
and I know Apple TV outside of severance
and a few other things not great content
and so I wouldn't say I don't use it as
much as I used to in particular also the
software has not been updated properly
in the way that I thought it would be so
it's getting a little bit laggy so
there's a couple of things which I'm not
too happy about it but I will tell you
this every once in a while uh whenever I
do need to do the whenever I have a lot
of research to do so I love to use that
Ultra wide function where I have my
laptop in my uh laptop in my lap and I
can bring the desktop up and have like
10 different things that are all
happening in front of me that is
genuinely cool another massive use case
for the app Vision Pro is flying
airports when you're mobile it's amazing
if you're airport oh yeah many times
many many times you're definitely going
to get comments I'll say that but I me
people people are curious well um the
first time that I ever used it it was
kind of awkward because I I was in
cinema mode and the flight attendant was
kind of talking to me I literally
couldn't see her right I I couldn't see
her I couldn't hear her excuse me ma'am
I'm in a VR movie theater can you she
tried to put a drink in my hand cuz she
saw me going like this and I was like I
was like what are you doing I was like I
was like what I was like oh my God I'm
so sorry I was watch she was like Oh I
thought you wanted to drink and um she's
like I saw your virtual eyes on the
screen and thought you were there
especially especially if you're in
economy class uh like me because you
don't have that much room so you
actually end up kind of like a T-Rex in
terms of moving your like moving your
fingers around just being like like
moving stuff like this and people are
always very curious they're always so
curious about it but I'm more of a use
it in the airport guy uh for lap for my
laptop like actually doing stuff uh
while I'm on it so I like it I it's a
bit bulky that's my only thing that I'm
upset about but I I see why people are
uh disappointed because I again the
idiot thought that it would get better
over time and they haven't updated this
thing at all guys like for anybody out
there I can't even tell you how much
they've just abandoned this thing
completely so if you don't like any of
the day one stuff on it do not get it
because they haven't they've barely done
any support or development for this
thing new nor new apps no new
breakthroughs it's genuinely
disappointing yeah I'm stunned they
haven't updated it because that was
always the promise they had this device
it was going to get better and I guess
they haven't let developers in the way
that you would expect also developers
have said no to them because they so
used to being raked over the coals by
the 30% fee Netflix for instance is like
oh you want me to develop for you that's
a funny idea I'm not doing that I will
say you can just use Netflix and Safari
on Vision Pro I do it all the time yeah
it's actually super easy it's everyone
made a big stink about the Netflix thing
honestly it didn't do anything um you're
getting me excited though because you
know what house of the Dragon season 3
is about to come out and when I bought
the Vision Pro I season 2 was coming out
man when you're watching fantasy shows
on the Vision Pro uh oh my God Apple
also did a few remasterings of movies so
you know that Tom Cruz movie Edge of
Tomorrow they did that for Vision Pro 3D
Plus in Apple TV so it's 3D while you're
in the cinema thing dude that was that
is one of the CR like one of the coolest
cinematic experiences I've ever had and
I was at home so my dream for the future
is a shared VR so that like let's say
you and I were hanging out and we wanted
to watch a movie that we'd both put the
goggles on but we could have a shared
space and we could blow it up and then
we could like kind of experience it
together while also being able to like
maybe see each other and be like oh my
god dude that was crazy because the
problem with the entire Vision Pro right
now is that it's just singular
experience it's only happening when I'm
by myself you could see TV is actually
way more social than people think yeah
yeah for me like I I would buy if I
could sit at like the 50 yard line 15
rows up and watch NFL games that would
be an easy buy I've watched NFL in like
3D and it's amazing if I could do that
on the Vision Pro I would pay for it oh
yeah I I don't watch baseball but some
of my friends or no no no basketball it
has a basket I think NBA had some Vision
Pro thing dude NBA on Vision Pro is
apparently incredible so I'd say I use
it like once a week uh or so especially
right now sance is out I love to watch
sance on it uh like now I'm getting
hyped for House of the Dragon cuz HBO
has a they have an app specifically for
the Vision Pro and they're the Max app
on Vision Pro is insane it's so good
yeah it's oh my God man we started this
Vision pro segment really tucking down
to it and now I feel like running out to
the Apple Store and gra one
