Well, the devices were doing it in the most hidden way possible. This is plain in the open and that's how that window is moved. And yes, I absolutely believe that the overt recording is the actual moment where they expect us to actually get used to it.

Hidden? Every device with a voice assistant has been advertising always-on recording for a decade plus.

We're talking about LG TV style recording.

Also, the assistants are not recording, they're analyzing sound wave for the trigger word. This isn't recording, it's been explained countless times already.

This whole conversation is about taking it to next level.

		I do see your point, but what the assistants are doing is recording. It's only a second or two, on-device, and not stored, but it is already a recording. Apple is just changing the duration and retention. I think as soon as the original capability launched the game was over. People don't understand technical distinctions like that and they've already accepted it.

		Doesn’t sound like it’s taking it to any other level, except that the wake criteria is handled a little more securely.
