No one I know uses Siri, by the way. I've literally never heard anyone in the office ask Siri a question. Never heard it in public, either. It's not really a thing outside of the tech bubble, I reckon. I'm positive most people will still be using cheap wired headphones 3 years from now. If you're willing to lay money on it, I'll take any bet you offer.

They should. She's okay. Today: - "Call John Smith on speaker" - "What's 110 pounds in kilograms?" Both simple, granted, but both got me what I wanted much quicker than I could have done manually.

I never use Siri in public because it's weird being overheard. But I often use it in private.

I'm not a morning person so I usually have 6 alarms on my phone. So every morning I ask my Siri to "turn off all the alarms" before I jump on my shower. There is like 4-5 others simple interactions like that that I do in private every day and it's totally worthwhile.

  Fun fact, siri happily does this when the phone is unlocked so you can happily screw with someone who has M-F alarms set up and doesn't usually turn them off. "Hey siri, delete all my alarms"

"Hey Siri, remind me to call Grandma when I get home" (while driving and I remembered something I need to speak to her about) A simple press of a button on my BT headset (Sony btw, not Apple) and "Call my wife" is a lot easier in the winter than digging out my phone, removing my glove for TouchID and browsing to my wife's contact in the phone app. A quick shout of "Hey Siri, set timer for 12 minutes" while cooking is faster than fiddling with the kitchen timer - which I had lost. Again. Also "What's the weather like tomorrow morning" when I come home to see if I need to plug in my car heater for the night or not. There are just some things that are faster spoken to a digital assistant (Siri, Cortana or Google Assistant) than done by tapping on a screen. On the other hand, tapping the screen is a lot more appropriate in public than asking "Navigate to my proctologist appointment" :P
