Siri AI has struggled through a rocky beta period, so its performance at launch will shape how users perceive Apple's broader AI ambitions across devices. Removing Walkie-Talkie and changing the Digital Crown shortcut shows Apple is willing to sacrifice legacy features for a redesigned interaction model built around Siri and app suggestions.
