It'll come with iOS 10 since they're linked.

iOS 10 is not the biggest release ever. I love it, but it's not adding anything spectacular outside of Google Photos-esque image tagging.

"Machine Learning" has been mentioned.

The only service I find interesting is the new on device photos app features. Siri is utter trash.

I know. And I accept this. Just was hoping for a feature in Gen 2 that I wanted that isn't "faster processor."

I'll wait and see if the new WatchOS makes me use it for more than notification shifting to my wrist before deciding to upgrade or not.

is there a large contingent of people--unknown to me--who care about home automation, or do they emphasize it more because the small number of target customers spend a shitload of money on it?

gently caress google AND microsoft voice based communications are superior to siri. It utterly trips over natural language and people with speech impediments. God help you if you're not the ideal apple user.

I can speak slowly and clearly and Siri still misses stuff.

Not to mention it constantly hears "hey siri" when it is never said. My wife's constantly comes on and starts telling you random crap because it couldn't understand this or that .. irritating.
