I don't know about the new Google Assistant, but I found Siri to work much better than Google Now.

I've been an Android user for about 10 years and just switched to iOS within the last week.

Siri is really the only feature on iPhone (so far) that I have found I prefer to Android.

While it's far from perfect, so far I have been quite pleased with Siri. It is able to let me do my most common tasks via voice commands. 9 times out of 10 Google Now couldn't even tell what I was saying. I attributed it to my somewhat strange accent, but Siri has been nearly perfect on this front. Good thing though as I loved the Swype keyboard on Android and hate typing on the iPhone; I fat finger everything on that tiny virtual keyboard.
