Apple did announce Siri AI at WWDC26. I checked the docs: the launch is real, the API story is narrower, and EU/China availability is the trap.
Apple just gave Siri the rebrand people have been joking about for years.
The headlines I saw after WWDC26 were basically:
"Siri AI is finally real."
"Google Gemini is running Siri now."
"Developers can use Siri AI like a new Apple LLM API."
