Apple finally fixed Siri. So why does it feel anticlimactic?
Siri now works as the iPhone assistant Apple had promised, but TechCrunch says the moment no longer feels like a breakthrough.
The iOS 27 consumer beta adds personal context, natural back-and-forth conversation, typed access, a dedicated app, and more reliable control of apps and media. The piece says Apple used Google’s Gemini technology to train and refine its own Apple Foundation Models for Apple silicon and private cloud compute. TechCrunch frames the result as useful and impressive, but late: a fixed Siri feels more like correcting a long-running failure than changing the AI race. General users are expected to get it with the official iOS 27 release in September. TechCrunch AI's note
