> I sincerely doubt a double-digit percentage of Apple employees have touched and android phone or used OpenAI APIs

I strongly doubt you're right. Apple is full of geeks; just because they tend to be tight-lipped doesn't mean they aren't paying attention to all the same stuff we are.



Double digit? I live walking distance to Apple HQ and there’s not exactly a lot of people in the shops and cafes with Android phones and you practically never see someone pulling out Google pay at a register.

Whereas I’d wager more than half of Google employees use iPhone, and a lot of Google staff work exclusively on iOS and Mac apps. Apple software runs in their hardware, period. It makes them too insular and unable to see their shortcomings.


The question was whether they’ve touched an Android phone, not whether they use them regularly.


Siri has been atrocious for going on a decade now. How much longer does it have to be terrible before we can say the people at Apple don't dogfood?

Hell it was bad as a voice assistant now it's gonna get lapped by other companies releasing personalized AI assistants.
