We have exclusively discovered how much iOS 18 and macOS 15 will upgrade Siri and improve everything you do. Here's what the new-and-improved Siri will be able to do.
@Ghostalmedia Siri, specifically in the non-English speaking world, has such an unbelievably bad rap that I really think it’s not going to recover. Apple doesn’t need AI, it needs a bunch of clever If-Then rules. For example, my daugther has a quite familiar name with a diacritical sign on it. I had to correct that 12,312 times before that went OK automatically.
Every day if I hop in my car, I have to switch off the music and start the podcast. How hard is it to learn my habits?
Apple really needs to fix the latter for non-CarPlay head units. People have been complaining about that for decades.
CarPlay finally fixed this, but it hasn’t been addressed for non-CarPlay cars.
@Ghostalmedia I do have CarPlay.
[ off topic ] Apart from that, there’s something else Apple has to fix before diving into AI.
As long as I’ve used MacBook Pro’s (had three of them) I get electroshocks if I’m touching the keyboard while working with bare feet. And I don’t mean a ‘vibration’, but a real shock, even if the MacBook Pro isn’t connected to a wall socket.
Reported it several times and for years to Apple Support; nobody cares.
