Productivity
Apple Intelligence (Siri AI)
TL;DR
Apple is finally bolting LLMs onto their aging voice assistant so they don't look like they've been sleeping for the last two years.
Who is this actually for?
iPhone users who are tired of Siri being a glorified egg timer and want it to actually understand context.
The Good
- Deep integration into the OS means it might actually be useful for cross-app tasks.
- It handles the boring stuff like scheduling and summaries without you needing to copy-paste into ChatGPT.
The Catch (Potential Downsides)
It likely requires the latest, most expensive hardware to run locally, and Apple's privacy-first stance usually means it will be slower than cloud-based competitors.
