The option can be disabled, but when it’s enabled, the mic is always hot, and the audio is routed to an on-device recognition model listening for the trigger. That model can’t be inspected by people outside the company, though, so we’ve always just trusted that Apple devices with the feature enabled aren’t doing more with the audio data.

I wanna meet the people offended by being disallowed deceit and invasion and theft because they flex-paid a violent toy. And they can explain themselves as adults with needs, to my satisfaction. Or get fucking goggle-smacked.

Entitlement America is over.

Two of my clients have banned Apple hardware from the premises. The guideline is anything that runs Siri AI or is capable of video and audio recording. It’s crazy how people are ok with surveillanceware.

That suddenly ruled out a whole range of conversation topics.

The glasses may be banned in the country as a whole, so that will definitely help too.

The S11 chip also features an upgraded Neural Engine, which allows the watch to process live conversations in the background as part of Siri AI's Recap and Live Rewind feature.
