    Anyone think Siri has actually gotten dumber?

    I suppose I mean specifically for talk-to-text. It seems like she turns my messages into word salad more than ever and I assure you I have no accent of any kind and I am speaking clearly within a foot of my phone. I thought maybe it was my speaker on my iphone 7 plus at one point but even with...

    Siri does not give me movie showtimes

    So, a couple of weeks ago I moved to London, and since one of my hobbies is to go to the cinema, I started asking Siri - on my iPhone 6s Plus 64 GB - for movie showtimes: an opportunity to play around with Siri’s capabilities, since back where I lived there was not much I could do with it. Now...

    Siri Function

    Now call me crazy but I swear Apple, last year, publicized a feature that I haven't seen work even one time. When more than one Siri enabled device is in the same room and they both hear you call "hey Siri", only one device is supposed to answer at a time. It still doesn't work on iOS 11. Has it...

    iPhone Is Siri listening to my conversations now?

    I was out this morning having coffee with my wife and kids when somebody with a beautiful blue nose pit bull walked by. I asked my wife if she knew if they shed much. My phone was sitting on the table as we continued our conversation and about 5-10 minutes later I opened Safari to search for...

    Nifty little feature in iOS 11: Changing Siri's language affects all devices

    Hi everyone, just wanted to document this nice little change in Siri's behavior that I haven't seen covered anywhere else. In iOS 10 and prior, if you changed Siri's language, that change affected that one device only. In iOS 11, once you change Siri's language on one device, the language will...

    Why no option for change Siri's gender on iPad mini 2?

    In the Siri settings no option for change the gender (italian language). Tried on iOS 10.3.3. and iOS 11 PB 4. The problem is that Siri's voice is soooo robotic. On iPhone 7 (same italian) works well.

    Connection issues using Siri on the Watch with iOS 11 on the phone

    Hi everyone, just wondering if you happen to run into this problem as well: Since updating to iOS 11 Public beta I have a lot (and I mean really a lot) of issues giving Siri-commands on the Watch (running watchOS 3.2.2). About 50 % of the time the Watch recognizes the "Hey Siri"-command but...

    Faulty Powerbeats3

    So, I had a pair of Powerbeats2 which I loved apart from their reliabilty. I had four replacements in the course of a year and it seemed that moisture was getting in to the earbuds or remote. In the end they were swapped for a set of Powerbeats3 which was great as the remote had been redesigned...

    Other iPhone + Amazon Echo = Siri Speaker?

    So there's plenty of rumours about the upcoming Siri Home speaker. I'll likely get one of these if/when they become official anyway, but I was wondering if there's a way to build my own using my iPhone, and connecting to an Amazon Echo Dot via bluetooth? Here's my vision: I connect my iPhone...

    Y u so dum, Siri? (Sierra 10.12.4)

    I thought Siri was supposed to get smarter with time... Seriously, more people care about cricket than bodybuilding (I can believe that) and boxing? Let's see how it does with music. Siri, when does Asgeir perform in Amsterdam? Me: "This is not how you pronounce Asgeir" Siri: "Is...

    Siri and battery usage on iPhone

    Has anyone noticed an unexplained increase in battery use by Siri when you have an Apple Watch paired to your iPhone (regardless of whether you're actually using Siri)?

    Siri and Voicemail Transcription -- Battery drain?
