    "That has seemed nonsensical since Apple has had Siri for almost 15 years"

    They can't be serious?  Siri has been dumb since day one, and 13 years later since the introduction, Siri is still dumb.  Can't even play a playlist on my phone.  Siri - Sorry, I can't do that.  So no, Apple has not had an Intelligent Assistant, ever.  The majority of responses are, 'I can't do that' or 'Let me look that up on the internet'.  I asked for Siri for directions while driving and her response was, 'You need to pull over for that', and this was the response through CarPlay.  I am not holding my breath for anything AI from Apple since they let Siri continue to be stupid for over a decade.
    Siri used to be smarter. For example, I used to be able to use it on my Mac to open specific folders. For some reason, features have been dropped or disabled. Really hoping we're at a turning point with it now.

    The "Apple did USB C on their own" is simply not true. Apple agreed in 2009 and 2014 to standardize the connector. EU told about the plans in 2019 to make it USB-C - that is 4 years ago. And no... Apple couldn't wait to next year. Apple is selling iPhone 13, 14, 15 - next year it will be 14, 15, 16... but at the end of 2024 only USB-C devices can be in the shops.

    Apple will have to terminate sales of non USB-C devices clear all inventory from 27 countries... if they did so with 16 then they would have 3 months to get rid of all previous versions. It had to be this year, and even so iPhone 14 will have to be removed ahead of time from EU probably early next year to avoid having the products in the shops.
    You’re wrong about a lot of this. The EU announced the ruling on USB-C in 2021, and announced the timing of it at the end of 2022. Also, only phones newly introduced to the market after the deadline (Dec 28, 2024) will have to have USB-C. Apple can continue to sell pre-existing models after that.
