> Every time I got an Apple product, it felt like a step back. They were late to widgets, late to AI. Their security is historically poor.

It's not a bad thing to be late to AI. Most of it has shown to be a complete waste of time, money and resources.

As for poor security - this has got to be a joke, right? If anything, it's the Windows world that has a piss poor track record when it comes to security. Apple meanwhile, unless you're a terrorist or drug kingpin, no way the police can access a properly protected device.

I remember thinking similar when JetBrains finally released LLMs integrated into their IDEs. I still don't love their integrated LLMs (too many silly suggestions that are simply syntax errors), but they were intentionally slow to release... to wait for some of the hype to blow over.

This is just cognitive bias. If Apple was doing well with AI, you'd be praising it.

I've been having gemini look at my screen and add events to my calendar in 2 clicks.

Not to mention... I don't really have lots of faith in the people who don't see the value in AI. Its halved my programming costs if not more.

You do you then. I need my device secured. I won't explain because it makes myself a target.
