Siri is finally learning to sound less like a robot and more like a real person. The latest iOS 27 beta lets you tailor its speaking pace and expressivity.

While the rest of the world chases chatbots that shower you with compliments, Apple decided to do something weird: build an AI that knows when to shut up.

While ChatGPT and rival AI assistants are stealing the spotlight, Siri is still that thing you accidentally activate asking the time. Apple knows it has a problem, and it's about to show how it plans to fix it.

Apple just did the unthinkable: it put Google's brain inside Siri. Behind this WWDC 2026 announcement lies a quiet battle for AI dominance worth billions—and OpenAI is the big loser.
