This is good and bad news. Good news is that Apple is righting the ship on their Siri strategy. The bad news is if they're currently righting the ship we're years away from a competitive Siri. I was hoping drastic improvements were already in the works. Instead this underscores the fact that Siri Intents were a stop gap. Siri shortcuts has been fun, but it's an API, not AI.

There's some preliminary documentation on the new Media intent domain here:

It looks like full 3rd party support for music, TV, movies, podcasts, and audiobooks is coming.  It would require developers to implement the new domain, but this seems like something they would be quick to jump on. 

This seems like such a big deal that the fact that it didn't make the keynote makes me skeptical about it coming out at launch for iOS 12.  Might be a 12.3 kind of thing??

Here's a list of what is considered media:

At least iPhone has never been on the No Fly list. 

adm1 said:I've heard it called "iPhone Ex" much more than "iPhone Ten" from everyday conversations with people (in Scotland). What about OS X, should it be Oh Ess Ecks or Oh Ess Ten?    As even on the Apple website, it names the 10.6 for example as "Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard"... that would be pronounced "OS 10 10 point 6"?  

Yes. It's Oh Ess Ten.  If you open a Mac terminal and issue the command "say OS X", you'll hear it pronounced Oh Ess Ten. 

So if two vulnerability patches cause a 30% performance hit, what's the impact of 10?
