Smartphone buyers meh on AI, care much more about battery life - 9to5Mac
Apple may be pitching Apple Intelligence as a key reason to upgrade to the iPhone 16, but it seems that...
You're viewing a single thread.
I used to only buy Samsung phones, I now refuse to until they get rid of the ai crap. I want a cool phone with good battery-life, a wicked updated camera that takes real pictures and runs fast.
Is there "mandatory" AI stuff in new Samsung phones? I am not seeing anything on my relatively recent Samsung (but I also use a custom launcher and don't really engage in the Samsung ecosystem).
A couple of their new flagship phones have their AI bundled in.
But you can probably completely disable/avoid interaction with them these services, no?
I have my own launcher and FOSS apps, so I am probably missing something, but I don't see any forced AI stuff and I am on OneUI 6.1.
Most phones are rife with bundled garbage (to my knowledge even iPhone have ads built in). It's become less obnoxious compared ~10 years ago, but it's still an issue.
