Can you blame me that I’m a bit sceptical at this point? Siri was introduced 13+ years ago and Apple threw commercials at us what it is able to do. As of today it still can’t live op to those commercials 13+ years ago.It hasn't gone backwards, it stayed the same. Yes, it still sucks, 100% agree.
Siri based on an LLM foundation in iOS 19 (2025/2026) will be THE game-changer everyone's waiting for. And this is pure AI.
All of those saying this is wasted resources... can keep the current Siri if they want.
Last year Apple mentioned that Siri would get a big overhaul with iOS 18. Now iOS 18 is out and Siri is still braindead. I’m getting sceptical about a useful Siri with iOS 19. Than Apple is rolling out Siri in English first and we see it slowly able to speak other languages. 2027?
Google in the meantime is rolling out Gemini 2.0 with capabilities we can only dream off. By the time Siri might be reanimated and might be somewhat useful, Gemini 4.0 will be out and running.
When considering how much devices are crippled today without a smart Siri (personal assistants, CarPlay, HomePods, AVP, Apple Watch, etc.) you might wonder why throw billions down the drain for failed project titan and forget to invest in the key element Siri actually is.
Apple is years and years behind and I’m sceptical they will overcome this problem.
