Siri now remembers your preferences, but only if you’re on the latest software. Apple’s update promises a more personalized experience, but about 80% of iPhone owners are still on iOS 26, meaning they’re missing out on the AI’s new memory features. It’s like giving a chef a new recipe book but leaving most of the kitchen with the old cookbooks.
The security fixes are backported, but only to iOS 26, which means the same people who are most likely to be vulnerable are also the ones who can’t access the latest protections. It’s a bit like installing a stronger lock on a door, but only for the people who already have the key.
Apple’s new AI can recall your past conversations, but only if you’ve upgraded. The rest of us are stuck with the same old assistant, still forgetting where we left our keys—or our phone.
