I said that a smartwatch type of devices is a good bet. This technology is still maturing and Apple will wait until it can do something that radically improves on the current smartwatch experience. I think maybe within the next two years we'll see an Apple branded wearable device of some sort.
Of we won't, for the same reasons we won't see an Apple ISP, cable company etc. Apple isn't trying to be all things to all people. Unlike companies like Samsung, Apple is happy to share the wealth and let some things stay in the hands of other folks. Especially niche things like UI glasses and watches.
Something like a TV they might do because that could just be an expansion on their display tech but otherwise, they leave the toasters, refrigerators etc to the rest of the world

I thought perhaps I was the only one who didn't need Siri to be cute, or my friend. It's a piece of software, and I don't need, or want, it to be human-like,
By are you the majority or the minority? I'm guessing minority. For the majority, who are more common folks and common users, getting them to use Siri and thus add more samples to the database to improve Siri, being more human may be vital.

The expectations from Apple are very high . Yet if you look at this list of innovations objectively- they have 4 major contributions in the last 20 years.
If you do the same with all other tech companies they look as bad, if not worse
However , the expectations from apple are very high because the came up with the iphone and the ipad in rapid succession within a span of 3 years when the competition was taken by surprise.
Not really that hard when they are basically the same thing

Speaking of innovation, I read
Ben Brook's "More Data Detector Please" blog post last night. He proposes integrating Siri to voice calls, where Siri can listen in to detect and make a note of things like appointments, phone numbers, addresses, etc. And at the end of the call, I can review the summary to confirm individual actions.
Sounds cool but it is ripe for abuse and screaming from the privacy nuts. After all, for all we know those calls would be recorded and kept on some server for someone to review her performance. And who knows if it is truly anonymous in the sense there is no way even with a warrant to find out where something came from

Thank goodness they are taking care of this before they update the MacPro.
Gotta have priorities.
Well yes, because there is only one team working on everything Apple does.
Oh wait, correct that. It's just Sir J. He does everything. He even builds all of it which is why supply is constrained. Those Chinese workers are just actors paid to cover up the truth
