Siri’s architecture is so dated, and its reputation so bad, Apple should introduce its new assistant as a separate entity, with a new name, that operates an alongside Siri. Call it a beta, and let those people who are still attached to Siri continue to use it while the beta proves itself. Then send Siri to a farm in the country with plenty of room to play…

Excellent article. You know you mentioned the way it used to be, but you left out another significant  cost to devs the App Store eliminated: piracy.  It wasn’t so long ago that big software companies like Adobe or Macromedia might, when pressed, say that up to 10% of their software in use was pirated. When they knew it was closer to 20% or more.  Sadly this ‘leakage’ was considered the price of doing business. But with the App Store, piracy is gone. If your app is on someone’s device, you can be sure it’s legit.

Continuity Camera is an highly underrated feature that easily adds a really good camera wherever you need it.   

I was such a big fan of his, but it’s sad to see what he’s become. I feel like he got starred for attention during his absence and now just saying/doing anything to get in a spotlight.

That design is amazing…but his process video is like some the Apple would make.
