Apple vs. generative AI: Who needs who?

Tim Cook at Apple WWDC 2025. Jason Hiner/ZDNET One of my editors once told me that a cynic will always sound more rational, but that doesn't mean they're right. French statesman Francois Guizot basically said the same thing from the other POV: "The world belongs to optimists. Pessimists are only spectators."

Now scheduled to formally roll out on the streets in Austin, Texas on either June 22 or 28 — not even Musk seems to know at this point — the tech billionaire's self-driving charade is running seriously behind.
