    Proof that Siri did downgrade

    A few days ago, I was watching the 2015 WWDC where they announced some new Siri features. One of them was Photo Search. For example, they would say: “Hey Siri, show me the photos from Utah, last August”—and Siri would instantly open the Photos app with the right pictures, smoothly and...

    Critical state of Apple video

    The title of the video made me mad, but I thought he had a lot of valid points by the end of the video. However, the problem isn't greed. The problem is who Tim Cook is prioritizing. Tim Cook needs to prioritize the customer instead of the shareholders and wallstreet. What do you think? Are the...

    Who’s waiting for the new Siri?

    Do you think will really get what was promised back in WWDC 2024? Or maybe Apple is just waiting for us all to forget? I am skeptical that what they demoed is actually even technically feasible. But if they pull it off and it works as well as the demo, that will be a really huge deal, I think...

    The great gig

    Last night, after a long and exhausting day filled with toddler negotiations, museum visits and the noble quest for a dinner that wasn’t just toast, I finally collapsed into bed. I was ready to drift off into the sweet, soothing arms of sleep. But after this looomg day, I couldn’t. Almost 2...

    Siri - speech to text

    So this is a rant. If there are any mistakes in this route you can blame Siri for it because I am using the speech to text function which is the bottom right of the keyboard screen and as I am saying this there’s already a mistakes in this paragraph So my main issues and they’ve been around...

    HomePod HomePod Mini As Jukebox

    Our HomePod mini sits atop what looks like a large diameter Pringles container. The container itself serves as a piggy bank for my wife's excess coins. Now and then she throws a handful of coins into the container. This sometimes and hilariously causes Siri to play random music on the HomePod...

    Series 10- Siri suddenly is type only?

    Hey everyone. I've had my series 10 for the last week or so. Everything was great until last night when I pressed in the digital crown for Siri only to be met with a prompt to type. I have tried unpairing/repairing, checking permissions, restarts to both the watch and the phone, toggling Siri...

    Purpose of learn from this app in Siri settings?

    Does anybody find learn from this app in Siri on the iPhone and iPad extremely useful? I ask because I have never gotten a straight answer as to why this even exists or what purpose could it possibly serve, and I turn all of that off after I get my phone set up. The handful of suggestions that...

    Did I hallucinate a feature?

    So back in iOS 17 when I had an iPhone 14 pro, one day I was driving and Siri announced via CarPlay that my wife had sent me a picture "and the picture is of a child standing next to a dog." I remember being kind of surprised because I didn't remember reading about that. It kept happening for...

    Siri On Device

    May I ask a question about Siri and what on-device means? I recently upgraded to the i16PM with iOS 18, and had the impression that Siri was now primarily on-device which would mean an internet connection would no longer be required for basic requests. My home area has very light and patchy...

    Siri getting dumber instead of smarter

    I'm having a few surprising issues with (Dutch) Siri lately: 1) She is unable to navigate to contacts. Instead of giving directions, she gives some non-sensical answer "What do you want to know about this person" but whatever I answer, she never gives directions. 2) Whenever I create a...

    Menu Bar Siri Default Type/Talk

    I use a MacBook Air, and was always pretty happy talking to Siri by double-clicking the Command Key or clicking the Siri button in the menu bar. I never use "Hey Siri" to talk to my Mac, because it activates my HomePods (not what I want). Now with 15.2, both actions default to "Type to Siri,"...

    Carplay issues in iOS 18

    Hey. Since updating to iOS 18 (I think that’s when it started) I have noticed a few bugs with CarPlay. The main one I have is when asking Siri to send a message, she doesn’t ask “what would you like to say” and doesn’t repeat back my message. However if I press and hold the voice control to...

    Siri/spell check are a gaping weak link

    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...

    iOS 18.2 Siri doesn’t ask for confirmation to use ChatGPT

    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...

    I made a workaround to use Apple Intelligence Siri on old iPhone

    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...

    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...
