Some of it is available in the beta's, but no, it's not released to stable yet.

Which boggles the mind… did nobody tell the software team that a release was coming?

  • Apple doesn’t have a reputation for letting engineers slack. I have to guess they are working like dogs to meet some standard before they are willing to release.

  • It clearly wasn't ready. My guess: the powers that be decided they had to make a public showing of being an AI company, hence the giant marketing push ahead of release.

    It's unknown how useful any of this will be in day to day use-cases.

  • I don't think Apple can simply delay an iPhone. There's entire industries relying on there being a new iPhone out every September.

    • Apple of yesteryear would issue a patch update model and let this feature cook until it was ready for release. Current approach is sloppy in a decidedly un-Apple way.
