The launch follows a familiar script.
Apple’s Siri gets an AI-powered boost, because that’s what every feature needs these days. The company promises a smarter, more intuitive experience, because that’s what they always promise. Siri’s been around for years, but now it’s got AI, so that’s new, right? The announcement sounds like a greatest hits compilation of tech buzzwords.
The “improved” Siri experience is just another iteration of the same old thing, rebranded with a trendy new coat of AI paint.

Siri’s been around for years, and while it’s had its moments, it’s never been a game-changer. So, what makes this AI-powered version so special?
Rebranding the Old as New

Just Another Iteration
