It’s fairly common for people to prefer and stick to a single operating system, despite its niggles, just so they can continue using specific features . But with an era where generational OS updates are so strongly centered around AI improvements, could we see a similar pattern? Unless you’re a supporter of the modern Luddite movement, you’ve probably already picked a favorite among the available AI chatbots. But is that enough for you to stick to — or switch — a certain phone or a platform?

That’s what we asked our readers in a recent poll we conducted while comparing the finally AI-fied Siri to Gemini . Even though Siri borrows its framework from Gemini, the results from both chatbots are starkly different. As my colleague Dhruv Bhutani found, Siri, even in beta, exceeds expectations for surfacing personal results from apps such as Messages and Mail, while also serving better for planning the day by pulling information from different third-party apps, including Gmail.
