Its not as different as I expected.

One thing I do like is "read out my notifications"

Any others?

When on a webpage on safari you can say remind me of this later. And the page and a reminder will be added to you reminder app. Same with messages.

That's an entirely useless feature though, when the "send to" button at the bottom of the screen does exactly the same thing.

You already have your phone in your hand so Siri serves no real purpose and it's quicker to do it on screen.

Siri is for when you're driving, or your phone is on the table and you need to know something quickly - not when you're already browsing

Contextual understanding is MUCH better. If you use "Hey Siri" a lot its very convenient.

Not with messages. I never said it was useful. Just saying what's new.
