It would be a great if a device that is incapable of using Apple Intelligence could remotely use it if you have another device that is capable.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPad Pro, I wish I could use the new Siri on my iPhone rather than just my iPad if the iPad were close by.

If you've interested in how accurate Apple's sleep tracking is, here's a summary of the research on it

I pulled 14 sleep lab (polysomnography) studies across Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura, Whoop and Garmin to try to identify what wearable has the "most accurate" sleep tracking across different sleep metrics. Here's a summary of what I found for Apple Watch.

Short version: Apple Watch is the most accurate sleep stage tracker among wrist wearables for healthy sleepers. In the independent sleep lab study (Schyvens 2025 - 62 healthy adults) it came out on top for splitting your night into light, deep and REM, and it was the best at catching REM specifically. It's main edge is only for healthy sleepers though and drops in people with disrupted sleep. Similar to all wrist based wearables it runs long on total sleep time. All of these are independent studies, not funded by Apple or showing any other biases, best I can tell.

Summary across the studies:

Best at sleep staging. Apple scored about 0.53 on the 0 to 1 accuracy scale for splitting light, deep and REM. This was the highest score for wrist device and ahead of Fitbit, Whoop and Garmin (Schyvens 2025).
Best at catching REM. Apple correctly identified about 69% of REM sleep, also the best of any device in that test (Schyvens 2025).
It typically runs long on total sleep. Apple over counted how long individuals slept by about +20 minutes (Schyvens 2025). More than Oura did (-3 mins) but relatively normal range compared to the others.
It struggles with disrupted sleep. Apple's staging dropped from 0.53 in healthy sleepers to 0.30 in sleep clinic patients (Lee 2023 - 75 sleep clinic patients). Bigger fall than Fitbit which held steady (0.42 vs 0.42).
Nobody nails wake. Apple is the best of the group at catching when you are lying awake, but even it only spots about half those moments (Schyvens 2025). So total sleep reads a bit high across the board.
Apple's own research puts its staging a bit higher. It came in at 0.63 in their own study but it's not independent so I went with the 0.53.

Tried my best to keep this concise without dumping a ton of data into this and keep any personal biases out.

The new Siri has its impressive moments. Like extracting information from screenshots

I use my screenshots to save information on a daily basis like many of you I’m sure, but I’ve never found a good app to organise them. I always wanted Apple to have a native way to sort through the information and I believe we’re there and how!

You can see it extracted a list of movies I’ve saved to watch (images in comments). I always spend too much time trying to find out what movie to watch as I have to first find the screenshots that are of movies, then read the description the understand the movie category, and then find where to stream it. But now I get a list of movies I’ve saved in two simple messages. I can go further with this and save it to a list, combine it with shortcuts, find out where it’s available, and so much more!

All I need to do is screenshot something interesting, no categorising immediately, no manually saving anything to notes. No input from me as tech should be

This is game changing tbh and can’t wait for more apps to be available in Siri so I get even more context across my apps. Kinda like what was initially advertised the first time

TLDR. new Siri can do some extremely impressive things occasionally
