Panel 1

*Alex, holding a new iPhone 15 Pro, and Sam, who looks unimpressed, are sitting on a park bench.*

Alex: Hey, guess what? Apple’s giving out cash for people whose iPhones have a subpar Siri!

Sam: Oh, great. More money to go into my pocket.

Panel 2

*Robin, holding a sign that says walks by and hands a flyer to Alex.* Alex (smiling)

Robin: Siri Upgrade: Free,
