Over this month, we heard at least two reports regarding Apple’s former employees’ dissatisfaction with Siri. The personal assistant has been called “clunky,” and Apple’s team of mixed reality headset engineers reportedly wanted to replace Siri due to its underwhelming performance with basic tasks.
Interestingly enough, these reports shouldn’t surprise Apple users, as the personal assistant has been the subject of criticism since it debuted. Weirdly, what makes Siri trail behind the competition is what should set it apart: The privacy focus and requests that are processed directly on the device only.
