Apple is working on improving user choice, at least in the EU, by updating its operating systems to allow users in the European Union to switch from Siri to third-party voice assistants as their default option for the first time.
Mark Gurman and Drake Bennett for Bloomberg Businessweek:
To meet expected European Union regulations, the company is now working on changing its operating systems so that, for the first time, users can switch from Siri as their default voice assistant to third-party options, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
Barring a major leap with Apple’s products, many users may make that switch.
MacDailyNews Take: The day Grok is as integrated as Siri in Apple’s operating systems is the day the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, HomePod, Apple TV, and Apple Vision immediately go from clueless to genius!
