I’m on iPhone 17 Pro Max, 27 beta 3.

New Siri is impressive in that it answers satisfactorily now 80% of the time vs 10% with old Siri.

But it’s slow as shit. GPT, Claude, and Gemini can answer me in 5-10 seconds. Google AI Mode can answer in 2 seconds.

New Siri usually takes 25 seconds to respond to me. This morning it timed out (with strong network connection) when asked a simple multiplication question.

Last time I asked my Google speaker for a simple multiplication (#00 x #, embarrassingly), it started with "on the website facebook.com". I'm not sure if this is a good comparison.
Damn slow on your newer phone too.
That's crappy, but it's also a beta, so it's not yet time to render a verdict.
