Apple is testing new features for its voice assistant, Siri, that could change how often iPhone owners look at a screen. The company is working on adding voice controls to non-Apple apps like Amazon, Instagram, and Uber. This means users may be able to shop online with just their voice or take and edit photos to post on Instagram without ever touching the screen.
The next evolution of Siri isn’t expected until 2026, but other tech CEOs are already pushing for a new type of AI gadget that could outshine iPhones. Some wonder why consumers would need an extra device when they already have one on their wrist in the form of the Apple Watch or AirPods.
To explore these developments and what’s next for Siri, listen to this week’s episode of One More Thing, where Bridget Carey breaks down the latest Apple news and issues every Friday.
