苹果新Siri体验记：初时惊艳，日久平淡

在最初体验苹果Siri AI开发者测试版时，我曾被其强大的功能所折服，甚至将其视为iPhone上的“万能工具”。作为旧金山的“AI导游”，它的回答可靠且远比旧版Siri更实用，聊天式界面也延续了苹果一贯的简洁设计风格，令人爱不释手。

然而，在iOS 27测试版中持续使用一个月后，我的热情却逐渐消退——尽管新版Siri确实更强大，尤其是通过索引手机内容获取个人上下文信息后，查找旧短信和照片变得空前便捷，但我对它的使用频率却不升反降。

这种“真香”后的平淡令人感慨。新版Siri虽然在技术上实现了跨越式进步，但并未如我最初期待的那般彻底颠覆人机交互方式。更令人遗憾的是，即便苹果在隐私保护方面远胜于其他AI公司，Siri AI的热度仍然难以持续。

随着时间推移，我发现自己又回到了以往的生活习惯：在Instagram上无意义地刷屏，在Yelp上漫无目的地浏览，手动输入和滑动屏幕成为了常态。与此同时，Anthropic的Claude聊天机器人也在悄然分流我的注意力。

业内观点：普通用户根基稳固

不过，分析师们认为，即便像笔者这样的AI重度用户并未完全拥抱新版Siri，这一现象也不会对苹果造成实质影响。研究咨询公司Forrester的副总裁兼首席分析师迪潘扬·查特吉指出：“Siri确实会因不如同行而承受批评，但这不会动摇庞大的iPhone用户基础，更不会迫使他们转投他处。”

许多iPhone用户对苹果的数据处理信任远超其他科技公司，Siri AI有望延续这一品牌红利。技术分析师拉蒙·拉马斯认为，那些此前因担忧AI安全而对其他工具持观望态度的苹果生态用户，可能会因此愿意尝试新版Siri。

仍有人情有独钟，文化分歧隐现

尽管笔者的体验或许是个例，仍有不少测试者对Siri AI赞不绝口。Techsponential创始人阿维·格林加特表示：“过去我从不指望Siri能做什么正事，但在最新测试版中，我不仅用得更多，还用它做更多事——查找手机里的信息比任何方式都快，知识储备大幅提升，连听写功能也更准确了。”

与此同时，围绕生成式AI的文化争议也在发酵。部分iPhone用户或因道德顾虑、或因对AI工具的整体不信任，选择彻底避开新版Siri，这类人群恐怕不会因功能改进而回心转意。

总而言之，笔者与Siri AI的这场夏日恋情虽短暂却也真切——但请相信，问题不在它，而在笔者自身。

当我第一次将苹果的Siri AI开发者测试版当作我的旧金山导游时，我深信这个经过全面改造的智能手机助手将成为iPhone上的“万能工具”。它的回答感觉足够可靠，而且比之前的Siri版本更有帮助。此外，Siri的聊天机器人风格界面看起来非常流畅，很有苹果范儿。

在接下来的一个月里，我持续在iOS 27测试版中体验Siri AI。这个工具相当强大，尤其是通过索引我手机内容所带来的个人语境理解能力。找到一条久远的短信或照片从未如此轻松。即便如此，我对这款智能手机助手的使用频率还是慢慢开始下降了。

这并不是说现在的Siri AI不够好。它确实更好了！这个新版本堪称质的飞跃，正因如此，我的反应才更令人沮丧。Siri AI并没有像我最开始期待的那样彻底改变我与手机的互动方式，尤其是考虑到它是一款直接内置在设备中的AI助手，而且苹果在保护我的隐私方面比许多其他AI公司花了更多心思。

尽管我没有刻意回避与Siri AI互动，但我也不介意它现在的定位——本质上就是智能手机的搜索栏。随着夏天渐渐过去，我对Siri AI并没有变得反感，而是越来越无感。

旧习惯很难改掉。很快我就回到了每天定时在Instagram上无意识地刷屏、在Yelp上漫无目的地瞎逛的生活。我宁愿自己手动打字和滑动操作，也不愿依赖智能手机助手帮忙。而且我已经悄悄成了另一个聊天机器人的忠实用户——Anthropic的Claude，我在手机上本来就用那个应用用得挺频繁。

尽管一些AI重度用户可能不会全力投入这个新版Siri，但分析人士表示这并不重要，因为日常用户通常对苹果的默认软件就很满意。“Siri会因为不如某些同行而承受批评的压力吗？当然会。”研究咨询公司Forrester的副总裁兼首席分析师迪潘扬·查特吉说。“但这会让庞大的iPhone用户群体转而寻找其他选择吗？绝无可能。”一些iPhone用户对苹果处理他们数据的信任程度，是其他任何公司都无法比拟的。Siri AI可能也会享受到同样的红利。

科技分析师认为，苹果长期以来在数据隐私方面建立的消费者信任，可能成为一个有说服力的差异化优势。国际数据公司分析移动设备市场的研究总监拉蒙·利亚马斯认为，深度融入苹果生态系统的用户，如果之前对使用其他AI工具有顾虑，现在可能会愿意尝试新版Siri。

我和Siri AI的经历——先爱上它，然后又把它抛在脑后——可能是个例外。许多其他测试者仍然对这款智能手机助手赞不绝口。

“过去，我不愿意相信Siri能做什么有用的事，”Techsponential的创始人兼首席分析师阿维·格林加特说。“但有了最新的测试版软件，我发现自己不仅用得更多了，而且用于更多的事情：Siri现在能比我用任何其他方法更快、更高效地找到手机里被埋藏的信息，它的世界知识比以前丰富得多，甚至连语音听写也更好用了。”

话虽如此，对生成式AI的文化反弹也一直在酝酿之中。另一部分实实在在的iPhone用户可能会因为Siri名字里挂着的“AI”而完全选择避开新版Siri。无论是出于道德反对还是对AI工具的广泛不信任，这些抵制者不太可能因为Siri的功能改进而被说服。

归根结底，我和Siri AI的夏日恋情是短暂的。但我向你保证，问题不在你，在我。

When I first tested the developer beta of Apple's Siri AI by taking it as my tour guide around San Francisco, I was convinced the overhauled smartphone assistant would be an “everything tool” on the iPhone. The answers felt reliable enough and more helpful than previous versions of Siri. Also, the chatbot-style app for Siri felt very sleek, very Apple-y.
Over the next month, I kept experimenting with the Siri AI in the iOS 27 beta. The tool was quite powerful, especially with the personal context brought in by indexing the contents of my phone. Finding an ancient text message or photo has never been easier. Even so, my usage of the smartphone assistant slowly started tapering off.
It’s not that Siri AI isn’t better now. It is! This new version is quite the step change, which makes my reaction even more devastating. Siri AI isn’t revolutionizing how I interact with my phone the way I'd initially hoped, especially as an AI assistant built directly into the device and factoring in that Apple gives more thought to preserving my privacy than many other AI companies.
Even though I wasn't going out of my way to interact with Siri AI, I didn’t mind how it was now, essentially, the search bar for the smartphone. As the summer months faded, I wasn’t souring on Siri AI. Instead, I just grew more neutral.
Old habits die hard. Soon I was back to my regularly scheduled doomscrolling on Instagram and aimless Yelp expeditions. I was manually typing and swiping for myself rather than relying on a smartphone assistant for help. And I was already low-key locked in with another chatbot, Anthropic’s Claude, and already used that app fairly often on my phone.
Even though some AI power users may not go all in on this new Siri, analysts say this won’t matter, since everyday users are often fine with Apple’s default software. “Will Siri bear the weight of criticism for not being as good as some of its peers? Sure,” says Dipanjan Chatterjee, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester, a research and consultancy company. “Will it make a difference to the vast installed base of iPhone users and cause them to look elsewhere? Not a chance.” Some iPhone users trust Apple with their data in ways they don't with any other company. Siri AI may reap those same benefits.
Tech analysts see Apple’s long-cultivated consumer trust in data privacy as potentially a compelling distinction. Ramon Llamas, a research director analyzing the mobile device market at the International Data Corporation, believes users deep in the Apple ecosystem, who previously had qualms about the safety of other AI tools, may be open to trying the new Siri.
My experience with Siri AI—loving it and then leaving it for dust—may be an outlier. Many other beta testers are still rocking with the smartphone assistant.
“In the past, I was unwilling to trust that Siri could do anything useful,” says Avi Greengart, founder and lead analyst at Techsponential. “But with the latest beta software, I'm finding myself not only using it more, but for more things: Siri is now able to find information buried on my phone faster and more efficiently than any other method, its world knowledge is vastly better than before, and even dictation works better.”
That said, the cultural backlash to generative AI has been brewing. Another solid segment of iPhone owners may choose to avoid the new Siri altogether because of the AI attached to its name. Whether it’s a moral objection or broader distrust of AI tools, these holdouts are unlikely to be won over by Siri’s feature improvements.
Ultimately, my own summer fling with Siri AI was short-lived. But I promise, it’s not you. It’s me.
