Apple could have acquired someone last year. The AirPods Pro 3 live translation is genuinely cool. For iPhone 17...hm, again, no surprise that there's no surprise this year. Apple is lagging behind in this AI era. After all, Siri was acquired back in 2010 and became a foundational part of their ecosystem. Now? AI companies like Anthropic ($170B), Perplexity ($18B) are priced to the moon. Even with $55B cash on hand, their acquisition options are getting limited. Better late than never, 🍎 Apple. (Full disclosure: I'm a shareholder.) TechCrunch article about AirPods Pro 3's live translation using Apple "Intelligence": https://lnkd.in/gSPrztAD

📱 iPhone 17 Launch: Why the Buzz Fell Flat Apple’s latest reveal was supposed to wow the world - but instead, it left both consumers and investors underwhelmed. 🔹 Incremental updates – slimmer design, minor hardware tweaks, nothing game-changing. 🔹 AI disappointment – Siri’s big AI revamp pushed to 2026. 🔹 Leaks killed the hype – most features were known well before launch. 🔹 Investor reaction – Apple’s value dipped by over $100B within two days. The verdict? The iPhone 17 still delivers Apple’s signature polish, but buyers wanted more, and investors wanted bold innovation. 💡 In today’s market, design tweaks aren’t enough, consumers are hungry for real breakthroughs, especially in AI. Do you think Apple is starting to fall behind, or is this just a pause before the next big leap? #Apple #iPhone17 #TechNews #ConsumerTech #Innovation

Watching the #AppleEvent is giving a peek into their #GenerativeAI strategy and the constant theme they return to is that Apple’s powerful hardware allows users to run models locally. What’s the benefit for users: Faster answers that generate without relying on an internet connection while ensuring private data never leaves the device. It’s a #BYOM approach, saving Apple huge R&D costs when it comes to training, tuning, and regulating models; best of luck.

Apple just dropped the iPhone 17 And its share price took a little dive. Shares dipped about 1.5%, wiping nearly $40 billion off its market cap right after the launch event. 📉 The new phone brings solid upgrades, but investors were clearly hoping for that jaw-dropping “wow” moment. What about AI? •The AirPods with real-time translation stole some spotlight. This feature shows Apple’s AI ambitions extending beyond devices into everyday communication - smart move, but not enough to justify the premium valuation investors expect. •Meanwhile, the big AI-powered Siri upgrade has been pushed to 2026 - while competitors are already racing ahead. So, is Apple losing its magic, or is this just a short-term market mood swing?
