Apple's revamped Siri with on-device AI processing addresses a decade-old complaint about the assistant's limitations. The company is launching it after consumers have already shifted to ChatGPT, Google Assistant, and specialized AI tools for actual problem-solving. Feature parity is table stakes, not differentiation. What matters now is whether Siri can handle the high-stakes, reasoning-heavy tasks users actually want AI for, not just playing songs and setting timers. Apple's integration advantage—iOS, hardware, privacy—still counts, but the question is no longer "does it work?" The question is whether it thinks better than alternatives.
