Apple responds by waiting and partnering with companies like Google, and treating this as a layer that can be swapped out.

And their resulting product is just not good.

Because no one is asking for this stuff.

Cue the quote of Henry Ford. No one asks, but they use it nonetheless, based on download figures.

Have they fully implemented the Gemini-backed Siri?

I will say that I asked Siri some questions recently that I was pretty sure it would fumble and it answered directly.

“Does brown go with charcoal in clothing?”, for example, didn’t fall back to “I’ve found some web results. I can send them to your iPhone”. It actually answered.

It still has random nonsense regularly, but the “ask a question, get an actual answer” is new to me.

You dont understand Apple's operations.

They will 'appear' to care about this stuff to appease shareholders.

They only dedicate the best but small amount of resource and then scale once they are confident they have a 'hot' product.

Get over it guys, stop whining about Siri and understand how Apple operates.

They have everything to lose - they are THE TRUSTED brand when it comes to consumer electronics w.r.t being an incredibly valuable firm.

Doesn’t make it a good product though.

Apple didn’t figure out yet that Google’s AI performance is nothing like Google search. Google’s AI is just junk, worse than open Chinese models. If someone (Facebook,OpenAI) gets a hold on the “killer” app, Apple won’t be able to do anything to truly compete. They will be late and end up with a social network like “find my friends” or whatever that useless thing was that nobody used.
