I can agree to that.

I simply trust Apple more than I trust Google (or Amazon or Samsung or Microsoft) with my private data.

And really, when it comes right down to it, I don’t trust Apple.

But with that said, yeah, Google’s assistant is superior to Siri or Alexa (both of which I’ve put through their paces.) There are a lot of things Google does better than Siri for sure. The problem is that after the novelty those things has worn off, I found I don’t actually use them in my normal day-to-day life. The things I do (turn on/off lights, run a scene, play music, time/weather request, timer/alarm, call or text someone) can be done by any voice assistant equally well. They all work well most of the time, and they all fail at seemingly puzzlingly simple requests on occasion.

So yeah, perhaps voice assistants aren’t exactly for me, but again, for me, Siri has struck a decent balance between privacy and functionality.

As always though, YMMV.
