The actual feature set is rather disappointing, too. I don’t want magical summaries of texts or notifications. I don’t want a poor implementation of an email categorization feature that’s years late to market. I do want better Siri, but that means more actual capabilities to control things, especially when triggered from a watch. I don’t want slow, unreliable language models that still can’t get “call so-and-so on Bluetooth right” [0].

What I do want is privacy-preserving AI-assisted search, over my own data, when (and only when) I ask for it. And maybe other AI features, again when and only when I ask for it. Give me hints that I can ask for such assistance, but don’t shove the assistance in my face.

[0] Somewhere along the line this improved from complete fail to calling, with Bluetooth selected, but audio still routed to the watch until I touch the phone.
