Apple Considers Dropping 'Hey Siri' Trigger Phrase at WWDC

TL;DR Summary
Apple may announce a change to Siri at WWDC that would eliminate the need for the "Hey Siri" trigger phrase, allowing users to simply say "Siri" followed by a command. This change would bring Siri closer to Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa. The technical challenge involves training Siri to understand the singular phrase "Siri" in multiple accents and dialects. The change is expected to roll out sometime in 2023 or 2024, but it remains a possibility for WWDC next week.
