MyiPhone 14 Proand I are on the wrong end of that dividing line.
My life and schedule depend on my iPhone 14 Pro.

Since then, the mobile landscape has changed drastically.
The difference is seen not so much in landmark hardware features but in software compatibility.
According to Bloombergs prolific Apple rumormonger Mark Gurman,most of Apples AI features should arrive by April.

Its clear Samsung wants the iPhone crowd to consider the switch.
The Galaxy S25 lineup looks like iPhones with flat, titanium sides and sloped corners.
It was entirely familiar, not just because I used the$1,300 Galaxy S24 Ultrafor work.
There was a pang of betrayal plus a mix of envy and wrath.
But then, I had to remind myself that AI has yet to deliver its promise.
I only experienced a short demo with the Gemini-based agentic cross-app AI.
So, what am I truly missing?
None of those missing capabilities make or break my enjoyment of my phone, in any case.
Its worse because Apple is normally better than most at supplying software support for older devices.
According to Apple, all Macs sporting an M-series processor will get AI.
That means a four-year-old MacBook will connect to getApple Intelligencefeatures.
The iPhone 15 Pro had 8 GB of RAM.
The iPhone 14 Pro had 6 GB.
And the weird thing is we still dont know if theyre features we want.
Generative AI is so unreliable that Apple has already pulled its beta for notifications summaries.
So why should we care?
Samsungs recent Galaxy Unpackedis an example of what to expect.
Apples next software release will be wholly centered on AI.
Do we expect Apples next WWDC to be anything but an AI extravaganza?
Theres a reason Samsung gave the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra 12 GB of RAM.
Even if you dont care about or want AI, you still lose.
