iPhone 17 Launch Skips AI-Powered Siri, Apple Eyes Third-Party AI
Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup — including a slim 'Air' model — landed without an AI-powered Siri, underscoring how Apple trails rivals on advanced AI. The keynote highlighted modest on-device AI and AirPods Live Translation, but no next‑gen assistant. Experts say Apple may lean on third-party AI (Google, Anthropic, OpenAI) or acquisitions — potentially marrying Apple’s hardware with stronger AI.
