In other words: while Schiller isn't promising anything, don't be surprised if Macs get hands-free Siri activation at some point down the road.Īnd while the uproar over the MacBook Pro has been a "bit of a surprise," Schiller is quick to address concerns that Apple made a mistake. You'd want to use Siri even while the computer is asleep, but current Macs aren't equipped to listen with the system off.
It's a combination of "system electronics" with expectations, the exec says. For one, he explains why Macs don't have "hey, Siri" voice activation like iOS devices do.
This wasn't Schiller's only answer, as you might guess. This should be less of an issue as time goes on, but it's no small matter today. Also, while it's true that many cameras from recent years have WiFi, not all of them do - and not everyone can justify buying a new camera to complement their new laptop. An SD card sticking out of your laptop isn't that much of a pain, and numerous pro-level cameras use SD storage. The points have some validity, but we suspect that there will still be lots of disagreement from potential customers. Many newer cameras have built-in wireless transfers, so you may never need to plug something into your laptop. And any slot is less necessary these days, Schiller adds. He also argues that the slot was a compromise, since it forced high-end camera owners (who often use CompactFlash or XQD cards) to get an external reader. It was a "bit of a cumbersome slot," he claims, since your card juts outward. In an interview with the Independent, Senior VP Phil Schiller says there were a few reasons for axing the card reader. Did you take one glance at the new MacBook Pro and wonder why Apple removed your precious SD card slot? The company isn't about to bring the slot back, but it's at least ready to explain its decision.
