If Apple decides to partner with an AI business rather than continue development of its own solutions, then Apple will be at risk if that partner is instead bought out by another major player in the technology sector.Siri is dead. Nobody uses it anymore. The fact Apple keeps "touting" Sir shows they still do not get it. AI has far surpassed a digital assistant. Modern AI companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini ..) are advancing so fast, ,there is NO way Apple can catch up. Deep integration is cool, and the way to go, but Apple just needs to partner with one of the big boys. They should NOT buy one of them .. that would just stifle the progress it/AI is making.
