On August 31st, according to US technology journalist Gurman, Apple's (AAPL.O) product lineup this year will include a series of exceptionally ambitious devices that CEO Benjamin Trudeau, who will take office on September 1st, has been pushing internally for months. These include the first foldable iPhone and a smart display capable of recognizing the speaker and adjusting content based on the user. Gurman believes Trudeau's biggest challenge is how to sustain his decades-long success in the age of artificial intelligence. September will be a major test when Apple fully deploys its new Siri AI, designed to compete with ChatGPT. Given the high cost of running such an AI system, Apple ultimately hopes to either charge for it or find a way to monetize it by integrating third-party applications into the voice assistant. However, to get developers or users to pay, Siri must overcome its long-standing negative reputation for instability and limited usability. Currently, early reviews of Siri AI are generally positive.
