Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
Apple has unveiled a major AI upgrade for Siri, addressing criticism that the company has fallen behind rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic. The new Siri will feature cross-product functionality, a new dedicated app, and enhanced capabilities including understanding user context, image recognition, and broad-world knowledge for more conversational interactions. The announcement was made alongside new child safety features amid scrutiny over "nudification" apps, and comes during what appears to be a transitional period for the company.
