There are often articles like this published before the new iPhones are released in the fall to question how successful they'll be.

As Apple's biggest selling product and the knowledge that any mention of Apple in the press gets clicks, I sometimes wonder if journalists are tasked by their editors every year to come up with critical takes on the new iPhones just to draw eyeballs to whatever site they're published on.

While it is true that smartphones in general have become commodity products and new features are seldom substantial or revolutionary, Apple's introduction of AI seems different to me. If done right, it will be able to provide very compelling new use cases.

I hope they fix Siri too, it actually has gotten dumber over the years. For example, I used to be able to tell Siri to play a certain Music app playlist I'd created from my own ripped CDs. Now that is an impossible task and doesn't work, it gives the error "Looks like Apple Music can't play that." Apple support forums confirm this, many others have had the same problem. The only thing that might work is creating an iOS Shortcut that opens and plays whatever playlist you like using another voice command. I haven't tried it yet, but I shouldn't have to do that in the first place.
