Apple’s new chief executive built up to unveiling the ideal AI device, then said it was the iPhone.

Apple CEO said the iPhone is the ideal AI device. Apple’s internal home hub, codenamed J490, is being tested in employee homes and may ship next month. Apple cut several Fitness+ audio staff but keeps the service. Siri AI uses a custom Google Gemini model, costs about $1 billion annually, and launched with iOS 27. Siri AI will not be available in the EU until EU Commission negotiations conclude.
