Apple exec Ternus pushes Federighi to speed AI roadmap as critics slam Siri

Per Mark Gurman's Power On, Apple CEO-in-waiting John Ternus held a closed-door meeting with software chief Craig Federighi in recent weeks, pushing him to accelerate Apple's AI roadmap beyond Siri improvements amid fears of falling behind rivals. VraserX adds that Apple controls hardware, OS, and ecosystem — everything needed for a great AI agent — yet bet on Google Gemini, which he says isn't good enough at real-world agentic tasks; Apple needs a serious model, not another glorified chatbot.
