    HomePod HomePod Skills?

    Now that I’ve entered the world of “smart speakers”, I’ve started paying attention to what Alexa is offering. While I feel that Alexa has gone overboard with the equivalent of fart apps, I wish there were a collection of SiriKit apps that worked with HomePod. One Alexa skill that stood out to...

    Siri play new music command

    I tried asking Siri on my iPhone to “play new songs I might like” and the results so far has been very disappointing. The other day, it played an entire album from a group I’ve never heard of, and despite saying “I don’t like this album” it kept playing the next song in the album. And today is...

    HomePod HomePod In Canada

    This thread will be an ongoing comprehensive review of HomePod in Canada. I've had my HomePod in Toronto for about a week now and can report that while HomePod setup was seamless, recognizing my Canadian AppleID and Apple Music account with no issue, Canadians looking to import a HomePod should...

    Siri uses US volume measures by default in UK

    So... Trying to convert from litres into pints, and I discover the information Siri provides uses US volume measures, rather than UK (aka Imperial). As an American company, it's not entirely surprising, but this is the kind of non-inclusive behaviour I expect from Micro$haft, not from Apple...

    CarPlay CarPlay Maps Giving Different Results From Iphone Maps

    I realize this is a strange question given that the Iphone is what powers CarPlay, but does anyone else experience different results when using maps in CarPlay versus maps on the Iphone. My CarPlay Maps (via Siri) gives me very different results than my Iphone (via Siri) Maps and it's...

    HomePod What expectations did you have for HomePod?

    I'm curious. A lot of people seem to have had very confusing (to me at least) expectations from this product. What were yours? Were they met. Were they exceeded? Were you disappointed? As far as my experience - I need my music to sound good. My echo device was doing an OK job, but there is no...

    HomePod HomePod prevents Siri from working on other people’s iPhones.

    Last night HomePod in the living room answered my wife twice for Hey Siri. The problem is she was in the bedroom and expected her iPhone to take the request. Homepod is on my Apple ID account, so she didn’t want it to handle her request. After a minute or so, her iPhone responded twice to the...

    HomePod HomePod and Siri - inconsistent playback of Playlists

    One oddity I've noticed is that I can ask "Hey Siri play my playlist" Siri says "Which playlist would you like me to play" I then say the name of the playlist. Siri then says "Sure, playing XXXX playlist" - and then usually plays the playlist but sometimes just goes to sleep at that point...

    HomePod How Siri on HomePod Handles Multi-Room Lighting Requests

    Something I just discovered that I'm hoping others can verify. My HomeKit setup includes multiple rooms with multiple lighting devices in each: With an iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch when you say "Hey Siri, turn on the lights" HomeKit turns on all lights With a HomePod when you say "Hey Siri, turn on...

    Home Are Smart Assistants (Siri, Alexa, OK Google) a regional thing?

    I've long been baffled by the amount of people talking about smart assistants online and their uses; people genuinely talking about how they like Amazon stuff better because Alexa is better than Siri, talking about buying one product over the other based largely on the smart assistant or how...

    Using a USB keyboard on an iPhone SE

    Hi everyone - I'll tell you what I have figured out and then where I'm stuck and hope for some help with that final point. My touch screen on my iPhone SE stopped working when dropped from not that great a height (I was bending over to drink from a water fountain). I've heard this is a known...

    C’mon Siri...

    I thought the new updated Siri would be smarter and maybe throw a joke in every once and a while. But darn she still sucks. She is the most stupid AI out there (technically she is just a voice command since AI requires intelligence.) Does Apple just not care? I tried out the google home for a...

    Help! Siri and dictation not working [watchOS 4.2]

    Hi everyone, I got an Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminum (no LTE) a few months ago when it came out. Everything was working fine, no issues but now Siri and Dictation are not working. I hadn't tried to use them in awhile since updating to OS 4.2 I believe so I think that may have been what broke...

    Siri is terrible at her job

    I’ve been using amazon Alexa (with sonos) and have a pretty great experience. When I use Siri it is frustrating and terrible. I think the new update it’s gotten even worst. An example is I’ll use Siri to restart a podcast on my phone and in the past she used to. Now she needs me to unlock my...

Is it possibile with iOS11? I know there is an option like "Announce Calls", but I want not only to know the...

    Siri issues on AW

    Whenever I invoke Siri on my Apple Watch Series 2 after not having used her for a little while, it says “Hold on...” on the screen before I even complete my query; it eventually asks me to repeat the query and I have to invoke Siri again by pushing in the Digital Crown. Other times, it takes...

    Siri app suggestions do not work on iOS 11

    Does anyone else have problem with Siri Suggestions not showing up like they're supposed to when you go to the multitasking card view? I think, since iOS 11, I've had Walmart suggested maybe 5 times and that's all. I've tried removing and re-adding the widget, as well as resetting privacy and...
