    It sounds like a good idea to label the Ai tool as beta if it suffers from multiple defects. And when the Ai tools is perfected then Apple will make it official by giving it a Pro name.

    Unless Apple comes out with some new product like Steve Jobs did it with iPods, iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air, Apple will soon fade away from Tech Arena with clumsy product line up with its iPads now…

    It would be nice if Apple can put a solid state battery in their products. Maybe a solid state battery that is aluminum ion or sodium ion.

    This company raped America. They are so adverse to real investments and real risk, because they were able to suck up massive profits from cheap labor for way too long. Meanwhile Chinese phone companies took their tech, and ran with it and now have created 100% robotic EV car companies, while Apple did nothing. They could have created American robotic manufacturing of phones and eventually cars, but they wasted their money and the money of their employees went to American branded imports, data stealing app-crap and games. I’m so ashamed of American greedy and lazy tech.

    That is exactly what the beta label is for, its still developing. Other companies should do the same as well. .

    Hopefully Siri will be much smarter & hopefully (fingers crossed) actually read out the answer to a question instead of saying “here’s what I found”

    An “AI Emoji” ! Wow that’s the dumbest thing ever.
    Apple is clearly suffering from the-lack-of-inivation.
    Open your eyes Apple and learn a little from other companies!

    Just don’t, PLEASE DO NOT, pull a stupid stunt like a Microsoft Recall feature.
    Yes, we live in a surveillance society now, but there’s still a way to more trust.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
