I will neither upgrade nor update my iPhone 14 Pro Max and Apple ecosystem until “Apple Intelligence” is fully released and liquid glass looks more legible.
I wonder what happened within Apple after Siri debuted. At the time, it was one of the first fairly useful (if limited) personal assistants. I suspect when Jobs said he had "cracked" the AppleTV interface, he was talking about Siri. But things somehow got derailed and Siri never lived up to its promise. Now it's so far behind the curve, I'm not sure how they'll catch up. But I'm willing to be surprised.
Still waiting almost a year later for an improved Siri 
The issue is that pretty much from the get-go, literally from day one, Siri began being passed around apple, like an unwanted hot potato.
And before the Forstall fanboys start… he was literally the guy that started the cycle.
After Steve passed, Scott passed off Siri to one of his employees named Richard Williamson, because he didn’t see it as a big enough part of iOS just yet.
Scott and Richard were let go in 2013, and then it just began being moved from team to team to team to team.
Snazzy labs did an excellent video on this earlier this year…
I just want a device where it's just a stick you can talk to and it does stuff for you. Sorta like the emanator in Bladerunner 2049 without the holographic visual. Just the audio.
And try to use an LLM model that can correctly count the number of r's in blueberry.

Keep testing, it’s good...
When I hear about anything ’Siri’ the jokes keeps coming.
To me, she died long time ago - RIP.
I pass Grok and that guy too for now as well.
Otherwise I’m looking forward to the evolvement of AI.
I like OpenAI and ChatGPT.

I think for the most part, Apple has been slow and careful about implementing this, but loud with announcements unfortunately. I'm in the "Pro-AI" camp but I would not upgrade from a 14 Pro Max for it either.
Old Siri:
Hey Siri, call me an Uber
Siri: I know your name is John, but I'll call you a goober if you want.
--------------------------------
Revamped Siri:
Siri: Here's What I found on the web: to call Uber you should dial 1-833-USE-UBER in the phone app.

Gurman never stops saying this, that, and everything. To the point where I don't believe anything he says.
The boy who cried technology.

SIRI is like Elmo’s FSD, over promises and always under deliver.
They are ten years behind Google on that. Only way is if AAPL acquires Anthropic and maybe Perplexity to get all of the expertise needed.
"You'll need to unlock your iPhone, first."
"Here's what I found on the Internet."

I had zero expectations of the Apple Intelligence and yet I’m still disappointed.
By the time it's done they'll realize it needs way more memory than the meagre 8 GB they put in their "made for Apple Intelligence" iPhone 16 series.
“Good progress” 🤡 LOL
It won’t launch before the iPhone 18, which will likely underperform. OpenAI’s ‘Agent’ had poor performance at launch and continues to struggle. And since apple is significantly behind its competitors, it will bomb.
Apple better nail the revamped Siri, because if they don’t, it’s game over for them.

"Testing phase" means nothing. They've been "testing" long before AppleI was announced. This looks like a rather lame attempt on building hype for non-existant product.
Still the feature is delayed, at this point it is delayed by years.
15 years waiting for Siri in my native language only to find out that the new generation voice assistant will be rolling out gradually and will not be available here and in many other regions. 🫠
Id be glad if only Siri could send a text message mistake free on command. One like: „tell David that I’ll come in one hour.“
Right now she’ll send a message that says: „that I’ll come in one hour“ (in German). Unbelievable that it can’t cut the „that“ off. I know that in English it can…
