Apple settled a lawsuit about Siri ‘unintentionally’ listening. [1] So, yes, they also can likely predict what you want based on all they do openly track… but we can no longer claim that they aren’t listening.

Based on the lawsuit and other sources, my guess is the phones build a word cloud that is then used for targeted advertising. Apple at el aren’t recording and selling the actual audio… but they are listening.
