Apple Intelligence and Siri Updates
Several AI features including conversation translation, smart reminders, and health guidance are now available.
However, Siri's major upgrade is still missing. Craig Federighi stated that Siri still needs more time to "meet our high standards," with a gradual rollout expected over the next year.
Apple emphasizes privacy-first approach, with AI models primarily running on-device and in private cloud.
