It’s strange. I’ve heard complaints about the uselessness of Siri for years. While I can’t speak to other people’s experiences, my own is that Siri is 99.9% accurate with me. I almost never type texts, I control my house with HomeKit, search the web, ask questions, check the weather and do dozens of other actions regularly with Siri. I wouldn’t want to do without it.
