Apple Software Chief Craig Federighi Addresses Delays for Apple Intelligent
Mark Gurman’s Weekly Power On Newsletter Reports on Apple Software Progress
In his recent weekly Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman brings up a great deal of Apple software-related topics this week, particularly regarding software delays anticipated for the coming year. These hindrances result from Apple’s shift in focus toward its mixed reality headset, along with its new operating system, xrOS. Delays are likely to affect not only Apple’s virtual and augmented reality software, but also new versions of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.
Federighi stated that Apple’s mixed-reality headset will likely not be released until 2025 at the earliest. Developers working on augmented reality programs, he said, have been dissatisfied with the company's mixed-reality headset, leading to concerns about user acceptance.
Furthermore, he mentioned that Apple plans to advance its homeOS operating system for the HomePod and Apple TV, and make its Notes application more suitable for collaboration. He suggested that Apple is pondering a new file system for future devices that will combine iOS and iPadOS.
Delays Expected for Apple Software Releases as Company Prioritizes Mixed Reality
Apple is encountering delays in releasing its software, including macOS, iOS, and iPadOS because of a shift in the company's priorities toward augmented and virtual reality technology. Apple is also encountering issues with the development of its mixed reality headset, which has led to further delays in software releases.
The delays are due to Apple's decision to prioritize the development of its mixed reality headset and the new operating system xrOS. Apple believes that the mixed reality headset is the future of computing and is investing heavily in its development.
Apple had planned to release new versions of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS in the fall of 2023. However, due to the delays, these releases will likely not happen until 2024. This is disappointing news for many Apple users who have been waiting for new features in these operating systems.
Apple Acknowledges Delays and Plans to Address Them
Apple Software Chief Craig Federighi acknowledged the delays to Mark Gurman during an interview. Federighi said that the company is working hard to address the delays and that it is committed to releasing high-quality software.
Apple is taking steps to address the delays, including hiring more software engineers and increasing investment in research and development. The company is also working to improve its communication with customers and developers about software updates.
Despite the delays, Apple remains committed to delivering innovative and high-quality software. The company is already working on new features for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS that will be released in future updates.
