Apple Takes Down 'Available Now' Tag After Delaying AI Features For iPhone Users
Last Updated: Apple has confirmed its AI Siri delay to 2026 and some of the features are yet to fully launch in the market for iPhone users which means the marketing needs to tone down. Apple faces long delays with its AI features and the Siri upgrades so now the company is being order to remove any statement related to its AI tools from the website. The brand has marketed the Apple Intelligence features on its platform with the 'available now," tag but now has taken it down following a recommendation from the National Advertising Division (NAD). The advertising watchdog found that Apple's marketing materials, released alongside the iPhone 16 last year deceives the consumer who believe that all AI features were immediately accessible. Apple 'reasonably conveyed the message" that features such as Priority Notifications, Genmoji, Image Playground, and ChatGPT integration were fully available at launch. And the NAD has now advised Apple to 'discontinue or modify" these claims. More AI Delay But Ads Continue In response, Apple quietly removed the assertion from its Apple Intelligence page last month, as confirmed by an archived version of the URL. More importantly, Apple has cancelled its 'More Personal Siri" TV ad, in which actress Bella Ramsey showcased unreleased AI-enhanced Siri features. In March, the company declared that these particular Siri enhancements would not be made until 'the coming year." 'While these features are now available, NAD recommended Apple avoid conveying the message that features are available when they are not," the watchdog said in a press release. The organisation also came across that Apple's footnotes on feature availability were 'neither sufficiently clear and conspicuous, nor close to the triggering claims." Further marketing changes have been made by Apple, which has changed its Apple Intelligence tagline to 'AI for the rest of us" and introduced new ads that highlight services that are already available, such as 'Clean Up," which can remove undesired objects from images. Reports claim, Apple will abide by the watchdog's recommendations even though it disagreed with the watchdog's conclusions about features that are now accessible. Most of the Apple AI features revealed at the WWDC 2024 last year are available by default on the new iPhone models while the iPhone 15 Pro models got it via the latest iOS update. First Published:

Civic group files complaint against Apple over alleged misleading ad for iPhone 16
A civic group in South Korea said Monday it has filed a complaint with the Fair Trade Commission against Apple Inc. over alleged violation of advertising laws regarding its artificial intelligence feature in the iPhone 16 smartphone. The Seoul YMCA said the complaint was submitted in response to the exclusion of the AI Siri feature in the iOS 18 operating system for Apple's latest smartphone model, which was launched in the country in September. The feature had initially been promised to be included in the iOS 18 system for the iPhone 16 but was later postponed for a future release. The group claimed that Apple has removed related advertisements from YouTube, raising suspicions that the company was aware of the delay in advance but continued to market the product without disclosing such information. "We will closely monitor the investigation process and results, and take further action if necessary," the group said. (Yonhap)
