Everyone is saying Apple shitting the bed on AI. My guess is it’s related to their stance on privacy. Apple maps is worse than Google because Apple minimizes user data stored.

Eh, probably more to do with their severe allergy to R&D. Apple is a bunch of designers, lawyers, and marketing, and they're used to just buying the tech when they need it. Their whole schtick is polishing up 10 year old tech someone else built and selling it to people who need the shiny. Not a great strategy for AI.

i find this perspective a bit uncharitable – vision pro is leagues beyond any alternative, and while the iphone certainly has had moments where it played catch up with competitors, it absolutely kicked off a new era of phones as a consumer platform

Two years before the Vision Pro was released, Meta had a video tour of their Oculus Labs where they showed basically the same tech in the vision pro, but their prototypes would cost $10-20k, and some other mutually exclusive trade-offs, so not quite ready for consumers. The iPhone definitely kicked off a new era, but they did it with marketing, not tech. The ColdFusion video in this thread actually talks about that specifically. Nothing in the iPhone was new, they just made the tech seem cool to a new audience. The strategy of letting other people figure out the tech and then slapping some good marketing around it is a fine strategy. It's just not going to work for something that moves as fast as AI.
