    If we don't ask probing questions of why Apple does what it does,
    then we will never be able to discuss Apple products intelligently.

    Because it does not cost Apple anything. Apple is paying Google $1 billion per year to use Gemini, but Google is paying Apple $20 billion per year to make Google the default search engine on all Apple products.

    So Apple gets free (and quite good by all reports) AI AND does not have to spend billions creating their own. That's known as "Smart Business".

    While I'm sure you are dying to spin this as "Apple is in trouble", the facts are:

    "Apple is expected to post iPhone sales growth at around 11% year-over-year when it reports earnings for the December quarter later this month, according to analyst estimates compiled by FactSet. The companyrCOs total quarterly profits are expected to grow by nearly 8% to more than $39 billion."

    AGAIN, from the link YOU provided.

    It's obvious isn't it? Siri is shit and has been almost from Day 1. Apple
    have been incapable of making something that compares well with the competition.

    Pretty much.
