What ever Apple does the iMac needs to more serviceable than it is now.   The current approach just makes it a no buy for me.  I’m really hoping for a major Mini overhaul.   

I bought an iMac 5K with maximum configuration when it first came out in 2014. Not one issue. A little pricey but very satisfied.

So Saudis are on best path to become moderate country on that route (to be proven over years). 

When they become a constitutional monarchy with a prime minister and a parliament, let me know. So long as the royal family has ultimate power and if a narcissist evil prince or king is the ruler, any fake indications of moderation should probably be considered as actions for personal gain to solidify more power in the region.

Where is the orange skinned fat guy with a comb over?

One, this has nothing to,do with the Apple maps backpack guy and two, his complaint was that the Siri list only showed the first pat of the names so he couldn’t identify which of the one in the list was the one he wanted. 

It’s a complaint about data presentation and nothing to do with Siri or Apple maps. If he had tried typing the name into Apple maps he would have gotten a readable list to select from. 

Even if Apple had a million Maps backpacks if the usability of app is ultimately faulty the complaint has validity in the context of this article.

Sorry to bring up a sore subject but Siri just sucks. I asked her on Wednesday to give me the address of a specific Kaiser Permenente location and she kept saying I found 11 locations near you, click on the one you want, however all the names were truncated so you could not determine which was which. I only wanted the one specific location which I asked for by name but she refused. Same thing when searching directly in Maps. Complete fail. I'm sure you can guess how I solved this problem.

What is the query so I may try it? 

You can demonstrate this issue very easily in your own city by making a query similar to this: What is the address of McDonalds restaurant on Main Street in your city. The problem is in both Maps and Siri. They ignore the details and just bring back everything within maybe 20 miles. In the case of the  Kaiser Permanente Anaheim Hills the name is too long for the results form and only the first part of the name is repeated and can’t be identified.

My desire would be to return the exact match only, and I was being very accurate and specific. I don’t want all Kaiser locations just the one I asked for. They could always put a button to show more locations, but as with most Siri results don’t support conversational conditions. Once she gives you results she has completely forgotten the original query.

In Google it didn’t even show the map at first. It just displayed the exact address as the first result much like it does if you ask a math formula query
