GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This release marks Apple's clearest push yet to embed generative AI assistance directly into core system search and browsing, competing more directly with AI-first tools from Google and Microsoft. The overhaul of Siri, long criticized as lagging rivals, could reshape how users interact with their Macs daily if execution matches the ambition.

- Visual Intelligence, photo editing tools, and Safari's tab grouping/Notify Me expand system-wide AI features
