I use Siri to set alarms and timers since that's far and away more convenient than opening the app and switching to the right tab and futzing with the time dial.
If I've got my phone in my pocket and my hands full it's helpful to be able to tell Siri to turn the flashlight on.
Aside from that I don't think I've used it for much. I get the weather from the radio already, and don't care to search the web with a voice assistant. It'd be nice if she'd read me my text messages but she flatly refuses to do that.

It’s pretty great. But what really excites me about voice assistance and voice assistive technology is the advent of Voice Control in iOS 13. Voice Control allows me to manipulate my iPad, for example, while using both hands to eat dinner or wash dishes etc. My screen doesn’t get greasy and I can scroll and tap links using my voice. The on device dictation ability is also first-rate. For example, I’ve used dictation to generate the majority of this comment.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoInteresting, I’ve never felt the urge to use an iPad during dinner or dishes.
- serf 7y agome neither, but if you ever go to a diner (at least in the US) you'll probably spot some (imo extremely rude) patrons watching some blaring loud movies on their tablets while they eat. I absolutely hate that trend, if it wasn't obvious.
- funnybeam 7y agoWhy would you want to turn the flashlight on when the phone is in your pocket?
- Splognosticus 7y agoI wear shirts with breast pockets and the part with the light extends past the top of them.
