Wall Street is reportedly growing impatient with the pace of Apple<\/a>\u2019s artificial intelligence efforts.<\/p>\n

Apple has not been transparent about its strategy, while its competitors have announced plans for new AI-centered data centers and devices, CNBC reported<\/a> Wednesday (July 30).<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s stock is down 15% this year as of Tuesday\u2019s close, making it one of only two members of the Magnificent Seven tech companies that have lost value, according to the report. The other company is Tesla<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The challenges facing Apple and its image on Wall Street include its delay of the next-generation of its virtual assistant, Siri<\/a>, OpenAI<\/a>\u2019s announcement that it is developing hardware devices, and concerns that iPhone sales will suffer Apple\u2019s competitors are faster in developing meaningful AI features for their smartphones and other devices, the report said.<\/p>\n

Analysts had hoped that the release of Apple Intelligence<\/a> last summer would lead consumers to purchase new iPhones, but that didn\u2019t happen, per the report. One poll found that only 13% of consumers who bought a new iPhone did so for new features.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Apple has its strengths, the report said. These include the strength of its iPhone sale, user satisfaction with its products, and the fact that its customers often own several Apple devices.<\/p>\n

Analysts told CNBC that the company has more than a year to catch up with its competitors in the AI realm, because AI features have not yet become the driver of smartphone sales.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s investors have reason to be nervous about the company\u2019s \u201cAI crisis<\/a>,\u201d PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster wrote July 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple Intelligence doesn\u2019t appear in any serious public Gen AI rankings,\u201d Webster wrote. \u201cIt lags behind even X.ai\u2019s Grok. That\u2019s not a public relations problem. It\u2019s a strategic misstep. Maybe even a crater-sized hole that could prove Apple\u2019s fatal flaw.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was reported July 14 that investors concerned by Apple\u2019s slump in share prices and frustrated with its delays in introducing AI features<\/a> are calling on the company to buck tradition and acquire or hire new AI talent.<\/p>\n

In June it was reported that Apple was considering powering Siri with third-party AI models<\/a> and that it was mulling<\/a> an acquisition of AI startup Perplexity AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wall Street is reportedly growing impatient with the pace of Apple\u2019s artificial intelligence efforts.
