Critics cite concerns about potential echo chambers from closed testing, unfulfilled Siri/AI promises leading to legal issues, and data privacy. The use of external models like Google's Gemini and risks of AI hallucinations and disinformation add to the challenges. Experts caution that a flawed release could harm Apple's brand reputation and user trust, suggesting a gap between expectations and reality.
