Apple Finally Fixed Siri: What to Try Right Now


Listen Later

If you have an iPhone, this one is for you. Apple just held its big annual event — WWDC 2026 — and for the first time in a long time, Siri actually delivered. Not a small update. A real overhaul. The kind that might actually change how you use your phone every day.

 In this episode, Ginny walks you through everything that happened at Apple’s developer conference — including a goodbye to someone who made Apple what it is. You’ll learn exactly what changed with Siri, what Apple Intelligence means for your iPhone, and — in the biggest news of the event — why Apple is now letting you choose which AI you want to use: ChatGPT, Claude, Google’s Gemini, or others. Ginny covers what you can try right now and what you’ll need to wait for this fall, with honest, practical guidance and no tech jargon required.

 Also in this episode: one billion people are now using ChatGPT every single month — Ginny explains what that number actually means for the rest of us. Plus, President Trump and Senator Bernie Sanders just agreed on something involving AI, and it’s one of those stories you won’t see coming. And Ginny wraps up with a recommendation that has nothing to do with AI: Season 2 of The Four Seasons on Netflix just dropped, and it is worth every minute.

 Whether you’re an iPhone faithful or just AI-curious, this episode will leave you knowing exactly what to do next. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
