Siri hasn’t changed yet outside of a few cosmetic improvements, but break improvements to the virtual assistant are on the way.
If you’ve had enough of Siri not giving you a straight answer to a query and instead telling you that it found three websites and one of them might contain the answer to your question, hold on. Better days for Siri are coming. If you’ve installed the iOS 18.1 Developer Beta on your iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max and are running the Apple Intelligence Beta, you might be asking yourself what is the big deal about AI-enhanced Siri. After all, the only changes to the virtual assistant in the iOS 18.1 Beta are cosmetic.So far all we’ve seen from Siri in Apple Intelligence is a cosmetic change to UI and a conversational tone
Sure, the glowing lights around the edges of the iPhone when Siri is summoned look cool, and Siri’s more conversational tone is also a nice improvement. But ask Siri which iPhone was the first to come with Siri and you are given three websites to look through. Ask Gemini Advanced, the AI-powered replacement for Google Assistant on the Pixel series, and you get one correct response: «The first phone with Siri was the iPhone 4S released in 2011.»
Ask Siri a question and you get three websites to go through.
