Apple is expanding Siri's capabilities with iOS 27's AI features but hasn't clarified how these tools access or retain user data—a gap that matters as consumers grow cautious about voice assistant surveillance. The EFF argues Apple faces a credibility problem: users can't meaningfully consent to AI features they don't understand, and Apple's historical opacity about Siri's data practices won't automatically transfer trust to the new AI layer. Voice assistants now compete on intelligence rather than utility, forcing Apple to choose between AI capability, which typically requires more data, and the privacy positioning that differentiates it from Google and Amazon.
