Demos were rehearsed multiple times, not truly live — Opinion (50/100)
Fair skepticism — every keynote rehearses the risky bits, but no proof these specific demos needed multiple takes.
Siri's new voice was the standout moment of the keynote — Just Vibes (50/100)
Pure reaction — calling the voice demo the highlight is subjective but matches how several reviewers described the improved audio.
Users can adjust Siri's speaking pace and expressivity — Solid (80/100)
Apple showed exactly this setting during the keynote — voice customization was a highlighted feature.
Apple is using Gemini under the hood so they could focus on UI instead — OK (60/100)
Commenters and analysts are saying the same thing — Apple is reportedly renting Gemini while building the interface layer.

This was one of the actual announced features — voice-described shortcuts made it into the final demo.

WWDC 2026 coverage confirms the feature exists — no independent tests yet on accuracy.
