Why Your Mind is the Better Tool than AI or Apple

So, the new capabilities and hardware on the iPhone 17 are to let LLMs run locally. Makes sense, as the future will be “Small LLMs.” Apple tucked a neural accelerator straight into the GPU, basically turning your phone into a pocket-sized AI workstation. You don’t need to run GPT5 on your commute, but now it’s about lightweight, specialised models that actually make sense on-device. Still, there was no major AI feature or capability announced for or with this new iPhone. #Apple #iPhone #LLM #AI

Apple just dropped the iPhone 17 lineup, including the ultra-slim iPhone Air. While everyone’s talking about the design, I’m more intrigued by Apple’s AI strategy. Unlike other tech giants racing to launch big, bold AI announcements, Apple is playing it safe: ➡️On-device AI features focused on privacy and functionality ➡️Small, steady upgrades like live translation and smarter visual search ➡️No major Siri overhaul or aggressive AI assistant move (yet) This raises a big question: Is Apple falling behind in the AI race… or quietly positioning itself to dominate in a different way? Their strategy reminds me of how they approached the original iPhone launch — late to the party, then completely changed the game. Do you think Apple is being cautious and missing opportunities, or strategically waiting to leap ahead when the timing is right? I’d love to hear how you see Apple’s AI play affecting the future of mobile tech and business.

While the company unveiled its new iPhone 17 lineup, including the ultra-thin iPhone Air and powerful Pro models, there was very little focus on AI features. Investors reacted quickly, sending shares down as the market had expected more concrete updates on artificial intelligence. The lack of major AI announcements has sparked debates online about whether Apple is falling behind competitors in the AI race. https://lnkd.in/dgTiCuAn

Perplexity AI showcases Apple's desired growth, highlighting the tech giant's ongoing pursuit of innovation and expansion within the artificial intelligence sector.

The iPhone 17 isn’t just a phone. It’s Apple’s biggest step into the AI-powered future. With the new iPhone 17, Ai is no longer hidden in the background — it’s built into how your device thinks, responds, and adapts in real time. This short video shows how Apple is weaving AI into everyday use: from smarter camera intelligence to predictive personalization that learns with you. The message is clear, In 2025, every brand will need to re-engineer their products and customer experiences around AI. 👉 What’s one Ai feature you like about Iphone 17. #iPhone17 #artificialintelligenceAI #FutureOfWork

🚨 Apple just dropped their 2025 roadmap, and it's about to change everything. While everyone's debating AI winners and losers, Apple quietly announced over 20 Apple Intelligence features already live—with a "more personalized Siri" launching next year. But here's what caught my attention: → iPhone 17 Air: Just 5.5mm thick \(thinner than a pencil\) → 120Hz displays across the entire iPhone 17 series → Apple Watch Series 11 with blood pressure monitoring → Foldable iPhone confirmed for 2026 The plot twist? Wedbush's Dan Ives called Apple's AI strategy a "disaster" compared to competitors. Yet Apple's investing billions in AI infrastructure and expanding language support globally. This reminds me of 2007 when "experts" said the iPhone would flop because it lacked a physical keyboard. Sometimes the quiet revolution is the most powerful one. Apple isn't just playing catch-up in AI—they're playing a completely different game. While others chase flashy demos, Apple's building AI that actually works in your pocket. The September event will reveal their three-year iPhone redesign plan. What do you think: Is Apple's "slow and steady" AI approach brilliant strategy or falling behind?

Apple’s “biggest leap” this year is… thinner, tougher, longer-lasting hardware. The new iPhone Air headlines the iPhone 17 lineup, while AirPods Pro 3 add heart-rate + live translation and Watch Series 11 touts hypertension notifications and sleep scoring. In short: hardware led, AI took a back seat very un-2025 compared to rivals. 3 quick beats: 1. Own your edge. Apple doubled down on tangible gains thinness, durability, battery, health. Proof you don’t need to shout “AI” to ship value. 2. Narrative discipline > AI theater. When AI isn’t ready to wow, lead with the story you can win then layer intelligence quietly. 3. Category lesson for builders: If your moat is real-time safety, don’t bury it. In our world, AI belongs up front at ingest, with explainable, policy-aware enforcement. Where I net out: I admire the restraint. But in trust & safety, restraint isn’t an option pre-visibility enforcement saves users pain. That’s why our stack is real-time, multi-modal, and audit-ready by design. #ProductMarketing #BrandStrategy #AI #Mobile #TrustAndSafety #DigitalSafety #Mediafirewall #Mediafirewallai

Just finished watching Apple's iPhone 17 launch event, and it leads me to the conclusion of a one-liner… "Apple is going to miss the AI train." Although Apple portrays AI as its own "Apple Intelligence," and there are a couple of features introduced in its products that clearly depict AI adoption, overall Apple's focus remains on design, durability, and status—the same mistake Nokia made a few years back. Nokia stuck to its main feature of durability and missed the train of smart screens. The same is happening to Apple. Yes, there were a couple of mentions, like the iPhone 17 being well-equipped to run LLMs locally, iPods having real-time language processing with the help of AI, and also some AI-driven features in Apple Watch 11. But overall, where are the key features of AI copilots? AI-based processing, etc.? So the conclusion is: even Apple lovers may not agree with me—but Apple is missing the train. iPhone Air is a product worth mentioning, but it's also more about design rather than software. Let’s see how long the "status symbol" continues to survive in the market.

Apple just announced the iPhone 17 lineup — four variants, from the ultra-thin iPhone Air to the Pro Max with 8× optical-quality zoom. The event was exciting, but I can’t help asking a bigger question: Is Apple at risk of echoing the 2000s consumer-electronics playbook — world-class hardware, but conservative software iteration? Because in today’s world, software (and increasingly AI) is what defines whether a gadget becomes indispensable or forgotten. Meanwhile, Google’s Pixel 10 series is going all-in on AI — predictive features, camera coaching, translation, journaling — embedding intelligence directly into the experience. Both strategies are fascinating: - Apple → doubling down on craftsmanship, chip integration, and security. - Google → betting the future on proactive AI-driven experiences. To be fair, Apple has been quietly building more on-device intelligence, while Google has been deepening lock-in through its services. The real race is about who can close their missing half faster. As a VC, I see this shaping not just the smartphone market but the broader direction of consumer tech. The battle isn’t just hardware vs. hardware anymore, it’s ecosystem vs. intelligence. Which approach do you think will win the next decade? Or is the better question: 👉 How can Google build true ecosystem power in the era of AI? 👉 How can Apple layer real intelligence into its ecosystem? #AI #Mobile #ProductStrategy #Ecosystem #VentureCapital
