Agree this should just be a dock/charger for iPads.

Though the sheer fact that in 2026 it's driven by Siri who is not a conversationalist AI, but still the same frustrating voice technology from 2011 is confusing they would even bother releasing this.

Sooner or later their lack of innovating themselves and just copying is going to make them what the Blackberry was when iPhone was released.

This is no longer the case. Siri as of iOS 27 is a gemini-based LLM system. It has a chatbot app and everything.

		Really? On my iPhone 15 Pro Max (older iphone) each time i want to have a complete conversation with it I have to constantly prompt it with Hey Siri then say next thing in conversation. Is that your experience? I use and have used chatGPT voice while driving for awhile ... here's a very silly example https://www.instagram.com/p/DecaL9Gx6li/ . Besides that silly example im in school now and give chatGPT all my notes to create interact multiple choice questions i take while driving. Overall love hearing how other people are using chatGPT voice and or any other AI voice conversationalist tech.

		You can have a complete conversation with Siri back and forth like you can with chatGPT without having to constantly say Hey Siri? I use conversational voice AI while driving and with the new Siri i constantly have to use hey siri to keep the conversation going.
