Apple's engineers are known to be pushed to complete assignments rapidly, given the strong competitiveness of the technology industry and a fear of being seen to be falling behind. What's not yet clear is how long it will take for users to see noticeable improvements in Siri's ability to act as both a voice-oriented search tool and interactive assistant.
