Today’s main story is Apple, and the question is simple: can Siri finally become a serious AI product?

Apple is heading into its developer conference with investors and developers watching for a long-awaited Siri overhaul. The market is not only looking for a smarter voice assistant. It is looking for proof that Apple can turn its massive device base, private user data, app ecosystem and custom chips into a real AI advantage.

This matters because Apple is not trying to win AI in the same way as Nvidia, Microsoft or Google. Apple’s edge is distribution.
