Apple’s AI Gamble Could Define Tim Cook’s Legacy

TL;DR Summary
Tim Cook’s legacy may hinge on Apple’s AI strategy, which leans on external models and even Google for core AI capabilities rather than building frontier tech in-house. Apple Intelligence, unveiled in 2024 with a privacy-first approach, has faced delays and Siri’s revamp lands only with iOS 27, keeping Apple dependent on others for key AI tasks. The outcome will likely depend on whether AI becomes a commodity and whether Apple can secure a stronger hardware/software position, even as John Ternus steps in as CEO and Vision Pro and car projects face headwinds.
