    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.

    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...

    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)?

    Hey, just want to get some opinions: Is it just me or is dictation for Mac working worse than SIRI on IOS? When dictating a text message on your iPhone using Siri, it generally works better than when dictating something on your mac, (which is not SIRI by the way) I also have problems at...
