Siri's performance and quality seems to depend a lot on the on-board ML cores since it switched to on-device. It was basically unusable on my 6S Plus with its early ML cores, and now it's great on the 14 Pro Max I replaced it with. It seems like they ship a Siri to match the device capability.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoI had the idea that Siri could only recognize "Hey Siri", and after that it would offload the task to Apple's cloud. If it's offline now, it would be great, but I don't see how the ML cores would help. Speech-To-Text is practically solved for most devices, after that you're interacting with a regular chat bot.

All I know is what I experienced: it got less reliable with the switch and stopped handling stuff it handled perfectly before, then got better with a newer phone.
