    Bluetooth Blues By Siri

    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...

    Siri Voice Waiting to download

    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...

    Apple Intelligence Question

    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...

    Siri reverted to old animation after updating from 18.1 beta

    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...

    HomeKit Can you set a light to always turn on at a certain percentage?

    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...

    Does macOS 15.1 make Siri useful?

    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...

    Old bug with Siri on Macbook Pro that stops listening to external microphone still not fixed

    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...

    Whatsapp Business and 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...

    Other See, Apple can be wrong (USB-C). What else needs a rethink?

    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...

    Are we worried about Gemini? Siri, we're looking at you!

    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...

    Confused about Siri and Apple TV 4K

    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.”...

    Siri has started asking “Hi there, how can I help?”

    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...

    Apple Music How to play downloaded music?

    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...

    17.3 seemed to break one of my Shortcut Automations

    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...

    What do you think Apple should do with AI, and how should it implement it?

    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...

    Siri always replies at 100% volume on iPhone

    (iOS 17.1.1 on iPhone 15 Pro Max) Siri is always replying to any requests at 100% volume (which is LOUD), regardless of the volume setting. I've tried asking "her" to lower the volume, which she SAYS she has done, but the replies are still at 100% (even when she amusingly says she cant take any...
