  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Niche use case
  • Pricing ramps fast
Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.The concept is genuinely compelling — turning the home screen into a living AI layer is a smarter bet than yet another chat interface — but this is vaporware until it ships publicly and we see whether Apple's sandbox lets it breathe. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.
