About time! Apple's got a whole lot of catching up to do if they want Siri to be in competition with Google Asst and Alexa

  It could be more feature rich but I'll take Siri's massive lead in privacy over either of the other two tbh.

    Siri has a massive lead for you and the 5 people who use PGP for their day-to-day email correspondences. That's not enough to build a business on.

      Most people just don't care about the voice assistant on their phones, despite the efforts of Google, Apple and Samsung to make them care. Using a voice assistant in a public place still marks you out as some kind of weirdo. Siri is great for setting timers, that's all that matters really.

        Agreed. Looking forward to when voice assistants can be taught new tricks by regular device users instead of having the new tricks be programmed by developers.

        Things I regularly use Siri for: - timers - sending text messages hands free - controlling homekit stuff - playing music requests (usually in the car) I'm honestly not sure what else I'd use a voice assistant for and Siri works great for all of those tasks. Usually when I have an issue it's due to background noise, so hardly Siri's fault. Quite frankly the "siri is crap" meme seems to be just that: a meme, with very little basis in reality. She's not quite as feature rich as the others but... who cares?
