Forget Apple Intelligence, Siri doesn't even know what month it is

It's not Apple's finest hour, as the company is going through one of the most humiliating periods of its recent history. Apple had to admit a few days ago that the smarter Siri it advertised as coming this year to iPhone via Apple Intelligence is delayed indefinitely.
