If you removed Siri, it would serious limit what you can do in CarPlay and you would also lose voice dictation. I think there would be materially fewer iPhones sold.

Although if apple didn't have Siri, then they would likely allow other voice assistants on the platform, and you'd have 'dictation by alexa' instead.

Agree about CarPlay. Siri is also pretty much indispensable for HomePods, though that's probably a minor product for Apple, and it plays an important role in AirPods.
