You are deeply disturbed by the idea that some services can be better implemented server-side? Who do you think pressured them, the illuminati?

Here's a shocking suggestion: maybe wait some time before these services could be implemented on-device, and implement them on-device, instead of shipping this half-baked something? Apple seems to be the perfect company to make it happen, they produce both the hardware and the software, tightly integrated with each other. No one else is this good at it.

They implemented way more on the device than anyone else is doing, and I don't see how it makes it "half-baked" that it sometimes needs to use an online service. Your suggestion is essentially just not shipping the product until some unspecified future time. That offers no utility to anyone.

It is, however, very much Apple's philosophy to wait it out and let others mature a technology before making use of it.

Here’s a shocking suggestion: if you’re not comfortable using it, don’t use it.
