Apple Intelligence not on par with ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini: Mark Gurman

Apple is releasing its new artificial intelligence (AI) features, called Apple Intelligence, with the launch of the iPhone 16 series and iPad mini. However, reports suggest that Apple's AI capabilities may be lagging behind competitors such as OpenAI and Google. Sources claim that Apple's AI features are two years behind in terms of quality and functionality, with Siri being 25% less accurate than rivals. This could impact sales if users find the AI tools lacking compared to alternatives. Nonetheless, Apple plans to roll out AI features across its product range.
