When other companies are curing skin cancer, discovering new proteins, creating photorealistic images/videos, Apple is .. creating Genmojis. lol

Apple has done far more for global health with the Apple Watch, Fitness and Health.

And they have a dedicated app for participating in clinical studies: https://www.apple.com/ios/research-app/

Than Medtronic? Than Astra Zeneca? Than J&J?

sometimes the best medicine is preventative medicine. In other words, leading a healthy active lifestyle. It’s a very western perspective to think all medical stuff should be resolved with drugs or surgery. And i say this as someone born in the west.

No need to be so dismissive. Anyway i do agree those 3 examples you provided are good ones and they have made a big difference in healthcare.

Apple has always been like this. They are never the first one to cross the first few checkpoints. They watch what the winning-est competitors are all doing and then they try to copy that to win the race overall.

If they hadn’t saddled themselves with the privacy promises, or if OpenAI were willing to uphold those same promises, then I bet Siri would’ve been wholly replaced by ChatGPT by now.
