The ergonomics of “the new X” sort of fall apart when you’re releasing it in stages. (Not in EU/only in English) It spawns a lot of conversations like “do you have the new Siri? Uh… I think so? It’s still crap though.” You cart around this bad brand image because you pitch this big watershed moment and 2/3rds of people are still using the “wrong” Siri.

Siri and Voice Control were both usable during the same time and it feels like it could work here too.

Totally agree that AI is just an implementation detail though. IMO that new product name should NOT have “AI” in it at all.
