Apple Intelligence and the Digital Divide

Last night I attempted to watch the WWDC conference and failed. This wasn’t a technical issue. The issue was a cultural one. I find the show to be too kitschy for me. From the pretending to leap out of a plane to the tone of their conversation, it’s just unwatchable for me, with European sensibilities.

Apple came out with Apple Intelligence which, at face value, is fantastic. I say at face value because it won’t work on Intel devices, and it won’t work on devices that came out before the iPhone 15. This means that almost all Apple users will be isolated from Apple Intelligence instead they fork out thousands of francs for phones, laptops and desktops.
