Apple was desperate to announce AI to stem realizatin iOS is falling behind in technology

I think this is a clear indicator that Apple is five to ten years behind
the competition simply as Apple is all advertising & not R&D investment.

 "Apple will launch the iPhone 16 series within its traditional
  September timeframe this year, despite Apple Intelligence set
  to be absent in the first public release of iOS 18."

 "Some of the more significant and compelling Apple Intelligence
  features that Apple plans to introduce at a later date include
  Image Playground, Genmoji, ChatGPT integration with Siri,
  priority notifications, and several other additions."
