Apple said that one major improvement for Siri is that users will be able to converse back and forth with Siri. After asking Siri about the World Cup in a demo, the user is able to pull down the tab to access a new text input field and more information about, in the example, World Cup matches. Siri's answers are also longer.

Owners of those devices are plain out of luck. Apple just wrapped up its annual round of WWDC announcements, and, as usual, there wasn’t any new hardware. That is not really the point of WWDC, which stands for Worldwide Developers Conference and—occasional curveball like the Vision Pro aside—tends to focus on Apple’s software platforms and how third-party developers can build apps for them.

THUNDER BAY — Apple has opened developer testing for its next generation of software, previewing a deeper artificial intelligence push through Siri AI, expanded parental controls and system-wide performance improvements across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro and Apple TV.
