Good, informative video. Note that Siri CAN READ handwriting. Why therefore can't we have handwriting recognition on the fly, like the Newton, but presumably a few orders of magnitude better!

C'mon MIke! A very clunky sentence: "The LTE connectivity will allow users to not remain within range of an iPhone for nearly all functions and permit things like making phone calls straight from the watch, plus music streaming to the device over wi…

If I can change Siri to sound like HAL and it says "Hello, Steve. You're looking well today." when I unlock it then count me in! As for security, perhaps there could be a protocol, like putting your PIN number in backwards if you are being forced…

Guys, you all missed the big one: Siri can now do handwriting recognition!!!!! Which, because I was a big Newton user, I've been wishing fo since the first iPad, so yeaaaa!!!! Craig F even demonstrated it on stage by handwriting a note with "2017" i…

Siri was recently improved without any fanfare, at least for Australians anyway! Previously it would only recognise my speech if I adopted an American accent, which I'm not very good at and it's hard to keep up, but a few of months ago I did an Appl…
