I have a single smart plug that I use to control a light that's inconvenient to reach, but frequently needed.
Siri has no trouble controlling that.
I often use Siri to play music, either from my library or from the free Apple Music radio selection. It rarely has trouble with that (provided the environment isn't noisy).
I use it regularly to add items to the grocery list when my hands are full or covered in raw chicken or something.
I don't think there's a lot Alexa can do that Siri can't, besides letting you spend money directly on Amazon products (if that's still a thing).
Would I pay a subscription to do these things if that were the only way to access them?
Honestly, I don't know. It's hugely convenient to be able to do it, and it's definitely become habit to do so in various ways. I would absolutely be pissed at Apple if they pulled a move like this.
- ViktorRay 3y agoThat’s part of the point I’m making though. Why pay a subscription to Amazon for Alexa when Siri offers all this for free? I can understand if someone pays a one time payment to get an Alexa smart speaker for convenience. But a monthly subscription? Doesn’t make sense when Siri is free
