According to Sawyer Merritt, Apple is set to overhaul Siri later this year by evolving it into its first artificial intelligence chatbot, fully integrated into iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems and replacing the existing Siri interface (source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter). This strategic move positions Apple to directly compete with leading AI chatbots, leveraging its extensive hardware ecosystem for seamless AI-powered user experiences. For AI industry stakeholders, this development signals significant opportunities in voice assistant applications, embedded AI integration, and ecosystem-wide business solutions as Apple looks to enhance productivity, personalization, and in-device intelligence (source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter).
