We're talking about LG TV style recording.

Also, the assistants are not recording, they're analyzing sound wave for the trigger word. This isn't recording, it's been explained countless times already.

This whole conversation is about taking it to next level.

I do see your point, but what the assistants are doing is recording. It's only a second or two, on-device, and not stored, but it is already a recording. Apple is just changing the duration and retention.

I think as soon as the original capability launched the game was over. People don't understand technical distinctions like that and they've already accepted it.

If there's nothing left and it's deleted, then it's not recorded.

I am talking about the recording that lasts. Recording people's voice without their consent, on your behalf, and transcribing the text for your later use. It's not volatile 2s analyzed by the DSP, it's an actual record of conversation.

This is not the same recording.

But yes, I see your point, too, maybe back then we got used to it at an even less intrusive level. So it progresses, slowly, but surely, like a frog in a pot.

Doesn’t sound like it’s taking it to any other level, except that the wake criteria is handled a little more securely.
