From the Station House (ChinaZ.com) June 11th News: At the 2024 WWDC conference, Apple Inc. has given Siri a comprehensive overhaul to better align with the company's push towards generative AI technology. The revamped Siri is more natural, relevant, and personalized, featuring a new look that includes a glowing icon around the device's screen edge.
Here are the main improvements and detailed features of Siri:

Screen Awareness: Siri can recognize content on the screen and perform actions based on context, such as adding an address sent by a friend to contacts.
Cross-Application Operations: Siri can perform hundreds of new operations both inside and outside applications, including using new generative capabilities and deep integration into apps via the App Intents API.
