Apple's new iPhone 17 device isn't equipped with AI-powered Siri yet. But that doesn't matter.

Apple has released the iPhone 17 series, which includes new thin and light "Air" models, but its AI integration is still limited, just repeating some features on WWDC, such as visual intelligence and device built-in models. The most eye-catching AI update is the real-time translation feature of AirPods 3, but no mention of Siri's upgrade. Apple's advancements in AI lag behind Google's Pixel 10 as the release of AI Siri is delayed until 2026. The company may work with third parties such as Google Gemini to enhance AI capabilities to enable seamless integration without investing in large infrastructure, thus benefiting consumers.
