The rollout also adds an “always listening” mode on Apple Watch, which USA Today explains can be disabled in settings. MacRumors and USA Today focus on the interface changes and privacy toggle, while Business Insider points out that Siri’s AI remains a manual opt‑in, suggesting the rollout is incomplete.
