iPhone 16 reactions - weird

Has anyone seen the 16 Pro commercials where they are touting the coming AI?

It looks like they activate it via the Side button. So is this true or just for the commercial (I expect them to get sued if just for the commercials)?

The AI parts are activated in the settings apple intelligence & siri settings so it is not something designed to turn on and off.
 
here is what it looks like. when you use Siri you now get a lighted ring around the whole screen.

Ok...now I'm grumpy - realize that they haven't turned this on in Canada?! Really Apple?! :( Ugh!

Edit: If you change your language to English (United States) you can join the "Waitlist" ... (done)

Edit2: Then it changes to "Preparing" :) - then you go through some additional Siri learning prompts, chose which notifications you want it to summarize for you and it's enabled. :)

A LOT of businesses up here actually use American English (I guess it's easier when sending correspondence south of the border?) :) So, likely won't be a problem - I'll switch it back once it's officially supported up here.

Here’s a really weird reaction from ostensibly a competitor: Sony uses iPhone 16s in their promotional material (over their own phones) for advertising Sony services and other products.


Sony is collaborating with Apple on projects, though not on any of these I don’t think and, even so, they have their own phones …
