r/Siri

I specifically bought an iPhone 16 Pro because Apple promised intelligence. iPhone 17 came and went, no intelligence. Now we are on iPhone 18, and still no intelligence.

In fact, Siri might actually be stupider now, and less capable than before.

“Siri, navigate to the address that Lauren just sent, 15 minutes ago.”
…
“Hmm, I don’t know that one 🫠.”

—————

“Siri, what time today’s meeting with Lauren?”
…
“I couldn't find any messages or emails sent to Lauren this week.”
…
“Siri, find the email Lauren sent yesterday, and please tell me what time the meeting is.”
…
“You’ll need to unlock your iPhone (while driving) first.”
“I couldn't find any messages or emails sent to Lauren this week.”

—————

Apple lied, and then the YouTubers lied to cover up Apple’s lies, and I’m over it.

Where is the Siri that was promised???

Siri Ai is still shit and it barely works for super easy tasks, I tried for a legal document and it couldn’t follow the very simple instructions of “don’t change anything except the names” it repeatedly kept changing other things, GPT is so much better for this kinda things. Apple is incredibly behind on AI even by borrowing googles services. Siri as an app has potential but it’s like a baby that’s barely crawling still

I want to know the weather. I say "Hey Siri, what is the weather?" next to 4 Apple Devices. All 4 appear to be processing, yet it chooses to speak back to me on the ONE device that isn't unlocked. (and farthest away) What does it say?

"You need to unlock your iPad first".

Who designed this?

“What would you like me to remind you of?”

“REMIND ME… at 8am to record for John!”

“Did you say record for John or Reckard for John?”

“WHY IN GOD’S NAME WOULD I EVER SAY ‘RECKARD FOR JOHN’‽ WHY‽”

{creates a reminder that says ‘Reckard for John’ at 8 am the next day}

WTAF APPLE‽!!!

I can’t even get reminders to work without 3 or 4 subsequent additional requests confirming my exact reminder.

It used to work immediately before, and it would be such a convenient thing to me to do, in a fire and forget fashion.

Now I have to wait and correct it at least 3 turns before it sets the reminder

Apparently Siri ignores the other dozen words if it thought you mentioned a major retailer.
