I think the relevant comparison is the developer beta, which has access to the Gemini-powered Siri that will roll out publicly later this year. From the reviews I've seen, Apple won't be "years behind" (which surely they were) for long.
replyI did say iOS 27. I am using the new Siri. It’s better, but extremely unreliable (half of all requests fail) and slow. It should be like a Codex running on my phone with the ability to chain skills (intents) to execute a task, but it’s too crappy for that.
replyAnd the voice is still a poor text to speech model, very far behind GPT live.
I am on the developer beta for iOS/iPadOS/macOS and all I see is still just the OpenAI option.
replyThat said, Siri seems a little bit better now - my subjective opinion. It is a little bit less frustrating.
But not in the EU, because of the DMA :/
