Ready for a Siri AI agent? Apple under pressure to upgrade its assistant faster

Apple CEO John Ternus is urging the company to accelerate its AI strategy to enhance Siri into a more autonomous AI agent. While Siri AI has improved, it still lags behind competitors like OpenClaw and Anthropic's Claude Code in agentic capabilities. Apple's cautious, privacy-focused approach contrasts with rivals who prioritize rapid AI feature deployment, though this has so far preserved Apple's reputation amid AI backlash.
