Watch shares of Apple (AAPL) after the firm held its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday. After announcing Siri AI, AAPL stock dipped.
Siri AI is a partnership with Google Gemini. It is a voice assistant that Apple will make as a stand-alone Siri app. Customers will have access to this app later this year. Most importantly, the AI will use the owner’s personal information stored on the phone. That includes the information shown on the screen when it provides answers.
For AAPL stock, the monetization strategy is a revised iCloud+ subscription plan. While users will get basic AI features for free, iCloud+ will start at $0.99/month. That includes 50GB of extra storage.

In the last month, it has been the worst-performing stock among its peers. Mondelez (MDLZ) is flat in that time, while Kraft Heinz (KHC) and General Mills (GIS) traded lower. Campbell’s (CPB) gained steadily despite the S&P 500 (SPY) replacing it and Pool (POOL) with Marvell (MRVL). The index also added Flex Ltd., a manufacturer and supply-chain firm.
