iOS 10 Release Date Set For September 30, According To Barbra Streisand

Paul Morris·August 23, 2016

If singer Barbra Streisand is to be believed, Apple has set iOS 10 release date as September 30. As part of an interview, Streisand has made it known that she hasn't exactly been happy with Siri pronouncing her name with a "z", rather than the soft "s" that it actually should be. Rather than suffer in silence, or go through Apple's long-winded channels to try and change this, it seems that Streisand used her fame and influence to contact Apple CEO Tim Cook directly. That phone call seems to have potentially let the rest of us know just when Apple plans to release iOS 10.

Apple Working On Siri Upgrade That Will ‘Wipe The Floor’ With Competition

Paul Morris·May 30, 2016

In a world where artificially intelligent digital assistants are making a big splash, Apple's Siri is predominantly seen as not being able to make the grade and compete with other assistants that are starting to appear.

It is being suggested that the Cupertino-based company is about to provide Siri with a huge upgrade that will reportedly "wipe the floor" with competition thanks to the integration of a technology stack that it acquired last year as part of the purchase of a UK-based company called VocalIQ.
