But beyond that, aren't voice assistants kind of dead? Sure it is probably much better powered by today's LLMs. I think it was the function and not the form that killed that market. (Alexa, Google Home, Siri and so on...)
For $700 and a $24/mo sub subscription... Lets see if it sticks.
Apple will simply own this market as well, if it even becomes a market at all. They are by far the best positioned company and everyone already is locked in to the hardware. As soon as Siri becomes good by leveraging llm, Apple is bound to dominate here. You don't even need another device to get half of what this does. Next gen airpods/ apple watches provide similar use cases.
Apple lost a lot these days. Leadership is almost gone. Some companies are built by leaders and die with their leaders.

Tim Cook has done his supply-chain job and needs to move along. Not sure why investors aren’t pushing for this. I was listening to the recent earnings call and when he says things like “super excited” he couldn’t sound more monotonously unexcited. Jony Ive would have made a great CEO and figurehead.
Yay privacy out of the window... AI wants to see and hear everything with access the Internet. Otherwise its hell of an interesting concept! Reminds me of the Robot Assistant in "flubber"
(i'm an investor in the company.) this is probably the most privacy-forward hardware device on the market—you have to physically be making contact with the device for it to begin listening (at which point an LED is prominently visible) and it will stop listening as soon as you break contact.
Are you using it daily?
Have you changed your habits?

On the other hand, he's also strongly associated now with bad decisions like the Touch Bar and butterfly keys.
I can only think of one use case that would be awesome that I couldn’t get with an iPhone: automatic food tracking.
Having a camera mounted near your neck you could use computer vision/AI to track everything you eat and automatically tell you how many calories you’ve consumed for the day. This would be way better than manually logging food intake like we have to do now, and could be very helpful for losing weight or just staying healthy.
