do you have any information on how much Siri AI will be able to use other third party apps and data. I see a lot of value in a personal assistant scenario with Siri AI but it needs to not be limited to just Apple apps. Also, do you think the privacy aspects will in some cases limit the Siri AI abilities.

My Apple Watch recommendation for Roman would absolutely be the SE 3 Apple Watch. It will pair nicely with the other items in your bedside drawer. Really tie the junk together. Don’t let these cohosts bully you into a buying another Apple Watch. You had one, it didn’t fit your lifestyle or routine, and that’s okay.

I keep seeing the iOS 27 apps all having landscape now. I feel like this… what we all think… might be for the upcoming folding phone… but I also feel like it’s for more of the fable HomePod with screen. I imagine that will have the same aspect ratio.
