Apple has been slow to roll out some of its AI features and has stumbled with a planned AI-powered upgrade to Siri, which it delayed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/626035\/apple-delays-upgraded-siri-intelligence-longer-than-we-thought\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">According to <em>Bloomberg<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The executive gathered staff at Apple\u2019s on-campus auditorium Friday in Cupertino, California, telling them that the AI revolution is \u201cas big or bigger\u201d as the internet, smartphones, cloud computing and apps. \u201cApple must do this. Apple will do this.

The new plan is to move everything to a new architecture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The all-hands follows Cook\u2019s comments ahead of an earnings call yesterday where he said that the company is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/716790\/apple-earnings-q3-2025-ai-tim-cook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201copen to\u201d acquisitions<\/a> to accelerate its roadmap.
