Apple CEO John Ternus pressured Apple senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi to “accelerate the company’s road map and move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri,” reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter.

Citing anonymous sources, Gurman writes that Ternus is “frustrated by what he sees as a reluctance to embrace AI with the same urgency as competitors,” and pushed Federighi for changes in a meeting behind closed doors. Federighi, Gurman points out, has been considered an AI skeptic with concerns “about the technology’s privacy, security, societal and employment implications.”

The latest iOS update was just slop. If you're in Europe there are no tangible improvements since the slop isn't allowed here.

    I’ve been so frustrated with iOS 27. I spent an hour disabling as much AI shit as I could only for it to be reversed on the next update.

    If it doesn’t settle down I’ll be looking into alternatives for my next device.

    I haven't bothered to update. Don't really see the point as nothing new is added.

    That’s fair. I think it’s habitual for me to be an early adopter and I’m finding that lately to be less desirable than it used to be.

    So long as older versions continue to get security patches I’d say stay put.
