Apple has squarely shifted its focus toward artificial intelligence with the unveiling of its hotly anticipated iPhone 16 along with a slew of features coming with the next update to the device's operating system.
well yeah but i have to admit, the pink color is awesome. if it didn’t have to get that damn chatgpt integration, i would ditch android. been on the edge for a while.
Not that I personally would ever switch to iPhone because there is still a lack of sideloading open source software; but could you just not use the chat gpt integration?
It seems they are actually trying to not data harvest with all the AI stuff, there is quite a focus on privacy respecting server architecture and clearly defined conformations for the user for when something runs off device, or even off of Apple’s cloud (e.g. Chat GPT). I believe they even made their backend third party verifyable (although I’ve only seen their claims about this, I haven’t actually followed up).
Anyway, plenty of reasons to dislike apple, I’m sure they still collect data, but why not just ignore the Chat GPT functionality?
my fear is that openai is analyzing everything you do on the phone, not so much the chatbot. but then again i bet apple and google are already doing exactly that. all the forced AI stuff just irritates me like hell. and i live in EU area so sideloading is possible. i haven’t looked much into how much open source apps are available though.
Same bs every year

You can sideload on iPhones.
Otherwise a shockingly level handed suggestion and ask.

I personally prefer the Pixel 9’s pink; it’s a bit more vibrant, at least on the pictures.
Still no cool colours for the Pro models, though (apart from the Pixel 9 Pro’s light pink)
didn’t realize there is a pink pixel!
