While true, I’m faintly hoping that their “Apple Intelligence” schtick is designed to keep them somewhat separate from the GenAI bubble and instead lean into useful models that can do productive things in a reasonable way. And positioning for WWDC means a useful API people can use to extract task intelligence and do productive analysis instead of abusing LLMs to give the illusion of productivity.
Apple Intelligence will make it easier for users to create shortcuts in the Shortcuts app, and it will power a new "Create a Pass" option in the Wallet app. Safari will be able to automatically name tab groups, and Visual Intelligence will be able to scan food nutrition labels and add information from a business card or paperwork to the Contacts app.
These all sound like minor features in existing apps. Why are we bolting it onto a big deal about AI?

More dumb bloat nobody asked for, and too late at that.

So we're approaching the 40th anniversary of Apple promising everyone their own personal PhD assistant.

Apple can’t seriously be this bad at the AI game.
