Ares is the Siri interface you’ve always wanted on iPhone
Siri can be a useful way of accessing information both on-device and via the internet, but one thing that Apple could have made better is the virtual assistant’s user interface, which at the time of this writing, takes up the entire real estate of your iPhone’s display.
