Apple Delays “More Personalized” Siri

@Simon

A much better question is, by which date will Siri no longer suck?
…
The party line so far has been that Apple Intelligence is the magic wand that will make sucky Siri magically turn into something good. And yet, so far, in spite of all the effort that has no doubt gone into and all the hoopla surrounding Apple Intelligence, none of this has really done anything for Siri…

Apple just told Gruber that it won’t be until 2026 that Siri sees improvement from Apple Intelligence (so forget about vastly better Siri with iOS 19 launch or even months after that).

So I feel like asking myself again: at which point do reasonable and patient believers become just dumb followers getting played? Is Tim Apple in it for the win (as in Steve’s “when we do it, it’s because we do it best”) or is this just marketing fluff from a bunch of execs that have lost their ability to execute?
