Blaming the user for the lack of simple coordination between devices when they buy into your ecosystem across multiple devices and attempt to use the advertised

Blaming the user for the lack of simple coordination between devices when they buy into your ecosystem across multiple devices and attempt to use the advertised features doesn't seem like a great product strategy.
- oneplane 5y agoIs it really blame if it's simply a technical deficiency? I imagine that if I put 10 iPhones on a desk and say "Hey Siri", that wouldn't work out too well. Doesn't mean we have to start "blaming" people, companies and things.
- tebruno99 5y agoThe phone and watch are advertised as intergraded with each other so this does not happen. Just like answering FaceTime on one device is supposed to stop the others from ringing. It is a feature of the watch and iPhone to figure out which should be listening and it is broken. To the article’s point, Amazon’s has no problem Determining which should answer a question if they are all the same account piled on your desk.
- birdyrooster 5y agoAnd yet there are alarms set on the watch which are separate from alarms set on the paired phone. It’s really madness.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoWe are not talking about ten phones on a desk. We are talking about a phone and a watch, which are explicitly designed to and advertised as working together. Surely you see the distinction between your thought experiment and the actual scenario in question?
- oneplane 5y agoSurely you understand that the scenario is merely an attempt at illustrating the difference between blame and technical deficiency.
- ubermonkey 5y agoThe user understands this limitation, and rather than lighting a candle is cursing the darkness. It's redundant and counterproductive to have multiple devices listening for the code phrase.
