As far as I know, Siri cannot (by Apple's design) have a competitor on iOS.
Unless you consider unlocking your phone, opening an app like Amazon, and tapping a microphone to talk to Alexa as a fair access for competition.
Sure, but that raises the question of what siri is falling behind if nobody else can fill that void.
Now I haven't owned an android in many years, but I haven't heard a peep from google about how they're using AI to improve their basic apps.
I recommend trying an Android device with an assistant -- they can just do so much more I'm not sure how to tell you in words, other than Siri is in its own league and it isn't the big league. The things Apple lauded yesterday were on my Blackberry-branded Android. Let that timeline sink in.
I appreciate Siri's privacy features. Full stop. Nothing else about Siri is even close to what Google delivered 2+ years ago. Definitely try Google Assistant and others if you wish to be informed on this; Apple isn't going to be a good source of setting the bar for user experience with automated assistants for a long time.
