Tell me what you think. Here's my rant:
For years now, Apple spellcheck has been alternated hilarious and ridiculous outcomes. Combined with Siri though, it is now an embarrassment. Furthermore, it is a weak link in my iPhone workflow because if it worked, my productivity would be so much...
So I’ve just updated my iPhone and started playing with type to Siri. I wanted to ask it wheat does it think about the integration with ChatGPT when all the sudden a message appears saying “working with ChatGPT”. It didn’t even ask me to confirm. I asked her why she didn’t and the message...
A quick demo of how it works:
I created a free iOS shortcut that lets you query ChatGPT lightning fast (optimized for quick question scenario) and optionally save responses to Airtable. Because ChatGPT app can used on any device, so we can use similar features as Apple Intelligence Siri on...
I've been having some trouble with Siri lately. Perhaps it's my pronunciation, but I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, so I generally figure that I speak a fairly standard form of English.
Yesterday morning I was brewing coffee so I said to the Siri that lives in a HomePod...
I'm running ioS 18.1 on my iPhone 11 Pro and watchOS 11.1 on my Apple Watch Series 9. Yesterday I changed the Siri voice on my iPhone and today I noticed that my watch does not respond with a voice. I checked Siri on my watch and found that it is waiting to download. I'm on WiFi and it is still...
Hello all,
I had a quick thought about Apple Intelligence and type to Siri. On all of the Apple Intelligence marketing, the Type-to-Siri UI gives predictions to what you may want before typing, but with the current Apple Intelligence we have, we don’t have them. Does anyone know how to turn them...
I'd been running the 18.1 betas for several weeks, but upon updating to the official release yesterday, my Siri animation has reverted to the old version. Apple Intelligence remains turned on.
Has this happened to anyone else? Seeing the little orb is a letdown after getting used to the...
I just installed a new ceiling light and it is very bright. The light themselves are not smart, but I have a smart dimmer switch. Is there a way for the light to always turn on at the same percentage (of dim-ness)?
I usually either turn them on with the wall switch (which keeps the last...
For the past several years, I have never used Siri on the Mac. I have turned off the icon in the menu bar and just never use it. However, with the new voice and updated AI features, I am curious if this is enough for people to use Siri on the Mac again? Personally, I might give it a try but I...
I have a Macbook Pro (M3 Pro) that is almost always with its lid closed (clamshell mode), connected to an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a Logitech Webcam C930e that also functions as an external microphone. The machine is always connected to power.
When you restart the machine Siri...
As of 10 days ago and even with the newest 18.1 beta, I still can't ask Siri to send a message to a person using WA Business.
Siri responds that the person doesn't have WA messages active.
The chats are fine and you can start one or follow a conversation without a problem.
I use Siri with...

USB-C has been one of the best ‘moves’ Apple has made in recent times.
Only issue is, it revealed how their stubbornness has set them back because they were made to convert.
Where else has Apple missed the mark on for a long time now & needs immediate fixing in order to make the every day...
Today's Google I/O was super impressive, and I'm feeling worried for Apple and Siri. How can they compete with the sheer comprehensive integration that Gemini has across Google's portfolio?
Gemini, Gemma, Gems... it's a bit hard to keep these all straight, but Google is doing an impressive job...
Hi.
My set up is Apple TV 4K connected to Homepod Minis (watching on a Samsung TV). All apps are up to date.
When I speak to Siri via the primary mini to control Apple TV, I have exchanges like:
Hey, Siri, go to the home screen/Apple TV home screen: “Just swipe up from the home screen.”...
For the last two days, Siri on the HomePod mini in my kitchen has started randomly asking “Hi there, how can I help?” - even when nobody is speaking and there are no sounds that might be setting her off.
I noticed this a couple of times yesterday - my office is next to the kitchen, and as I was...
It’s crazy I have to ask this, but that’s the sad sad state of Siri today.
I have 8 Gig of downloaded Apple Music songs on my iPhone and want to play them in my car using Siri. I have toggled off “Mobile Data” for the Music app.
Can someone come up with a Siri request that will actually...
I had a shortcut / automation set up where I would charge my iPhone, then Siri would say "Battery Charged" when it hit 100%. That worked great for well over a a year and 1/2. ( created using this YT video - )
After updating late week to iOS 17.3, it seemed to break it, smh.
I see the shortcut...
Personally, I think they should focus on edge on-device AI, because cloud servers will just add to costs, and they'll probably have to charge us more because of that. I also believe they should make it voice-based, which means making voice recognition a lot better, because ChatGPT blows Apple...
Would you purchase an Apple Handheld A.I device like the Rabbit R1?
A hypothetical Siri/A.I based device, running on condensed iPhone parts in a small form factor, with an OS controlled with a mix of touch and voice.
