Impli reveals the exact APEX method professionals use to optimize AI prompts. The article shows the complete system specification—from analyzing requests to executing optimized prompts that work across all platforms.
Web scraping has quietly become the backbone of AI training data. But legal gray areas and sophisticated anti-blocking measures make success tricky. This guide reveals what works in 2025.
Sean Grove from OpenAI says coding is dead. Instead of writing code, developers should write specifications that generate software. AWS just launched Kiro to make this real, while GeneXus claims they've done it for 35 years
Remember when Apple couldn't miss? Those days just ended. Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring cut Apple's target price by $23 last week. The reason? Siri can't do what Apple promised.
The numbers tell a brutal story. iPhone sales in China plunged 18% last quarter. Huawei, armed with AI features that actually work, reclaimed the top spot.
Apple's response? A YouTube ad vanished. Website promises disappeared. Marketing speak replaced concrete timelines.
The company's statement reads like a surrender note: "It's going to take us longer than we thought." Translation: We can't make Siri work like we said.
Let's talk money. Woodring predicts flat iPhone sales in 2025. Growth estimates for 2026 got slashed. Investors who bet on Apple's AI future just learned expensive lessons.
While Apple stumbles, competitors sprint:
Google launched Gemini Ultra
Amazon's Alexa summarizes books and handles complex tasks
Huawei's phones pack AI features that ship today, not someday
Samsung's Galaxy S24 sells on AI capabilities, not promises
John Gruber of Daring Fireball cuts deeper. He compares this to Apple's dark pre-Jobs era, when the company pitched dreams instead of shipping products.
"This didn't happen to Apple," Gruber writes. "Decision makers within the company did it." He points to a culture shift that should terrify investors.
The missing Siri features sound impressive:
Finding flight times in old emails
Scanning messages for meeting details
Understanding screen context
Taking actions across multiple apps
One problem: No one outside Apple has seen them work. Not in demos. Not in betas. Not even in carefully controlled press previews.
The timing couldn't hurt more. Chinese consumers, facing a choice between Huawei's working AI and Apple's promises, picked Huawei. Apple's largest foreign market just shrank 18% in one quarter.
Remember Steve Jobs handling MobileMe's failure? He gathered the team and dropped truth bombs: "You've tarnished Apple's reputation. You should hate each other for having let each other down."
Tim Cook faces worse. MobileMe merely failed. These Siri features never existed.
The damage spreads beyond one product. Apple's $3 trillion valuation assumes it leads tech revolutions, not chases them. Each AI delay chips at that assumption.
Want timeline clarity? Good luck. Apple's new website disclaimer offers corpo-speak: "Siri's personal context understanding, onscreen awareness, and in-app actions are in development."
When will they ship? Sometime between fall 2025 and never. The same features Apple promoted in iPhone 16 ads might not make iPhone 17.

This matters beyond tech circles. Pension funds, index investors, and retirement accounts bet big on Apple. They trusted the company that perfected "It just works."
Now they're learning Apple pitched AI features it couldn't build. Marketing got ahead of engineering. Promises beat reality.
Craig Federighi runs software. John Giannandrea leads AI strategy. Both report to Cook. All three put their names on promises they can't keep.
The cost? Morgan Stanley sees $23 per share vanishing. Chinese sales dropped 18%. Huawei stole the crown. Samsung gains ground.
Why this matters:
Money talks. Morgan Stanley's price cut shows Wall Street finally questioning Apple's AI strategy. When promises don't ship, valuations drop.
Apple just gave competitors a year-long head start in AI features. In tech, second place rarely matters. Just ask BlackBerry how catching up worked out.

OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent can control your entire computer to handle tasks like calendar management and research reports. It's the first AI that goes beyond chatbots to actual task automation, but it takes 15-30 minutes per task.
Slack's new AI features decode company jargon and turn workplace chatter into useful context. While competitors build standalone chatbots, Slack bets that AI embedded in existing tools wins.
