Despite lukewarm initial reviews calling Apple’s latest AI announcements uninspired and derivative, the company’s pragmatic approach to enhancing Siri and Apple Intelligence may prove more effective than critics realize. With iPhone sales already surging 23% in the first half of fiscal 2026, Apple’s focus on reliable, privacy-first features—rather than flashy AI “for the sake of AI”—could be exactly what’s needed to sustain momentum and drive the stock higher. This piece from Barron’s explores why investors may be misreading the reset, arguing that Apple’s measured strategy positions it well for long-term gains.
“Apple’s iPhone and Mac both show that personalized AI isn’t yet important enough to negatively affect sales – not even close – so Munster is correct that Apple has time, although we’d peg it at about a year, given the rate that AI is improving. Siri AI in beta form is still Siri AI in users’ hand this year and that’s more than good enough for now. The beta being used by hundreds of millions of users will provide much opportunity for Apple to fine tune the product. By this time next year, we’ll all be wondering how we ever lived without Siri AI.” Support MacDailyNews at no extra cost to you by using this link to shop at Amazon.
