Apple's Siri Will Try to Help You Figure Out if You Have COVID-19
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) was the first major player to introduce a voice-activated digital assistant when it launched Siri on the iPhone 4s. The company eventually fell behind Amazon, which has made bigger consumer inroads with Alexa, its Siri rival.
In reality, both digital assistants, and the scores of others offered by rival tech companies have struggled to be more than novelties. Sure, they can tell you the weather or set a timer, but they have largely failed to change how people go about their daily lives.
Now, in a nation under siege from the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease it causes, Apple has enlisted Siri to offer some help. The digital assistant can help you try to figure out if you might have COVID-19 or, as most people refer to it, just coronavirus.
