But Apple has two devices out that are almost totally dependent on salary. The HomePod, and to a large extent the Apple Watch. Unless a person has really good eyesight, you need to use Siri to do many things on the watch. I don’t think it’s a new AR/VR device is going to make any difference. But I truly hope I’m wrong. 

I wonder if it would be possible for Apple to let us choose which version of Siri we would like to have on our devices. You could, for example choose Siri one or Siri two, one of which would be able to delve into our devices, and perhaps risk our privacy just a little. If Apple keeps taking away features because they’ve decided that they aren’t good for privacy very well. Let us make the choice as we do on so many aspects of our devices. I want privacy, but I also, as I said, before, as an elderly person, really appreciate Siri being able to do more things for me. I’d like for Siri to be able to tell me the pollen count and type for example, based on my location.  Location services is a feature  I choose to turn on so Siri could be more helpful. I’m getting pretty frustrated with the features being taken away. Another example is that I used to be able to have Siri add something to a note. It no longer can do that. If Apple chooses to take away features, they ought to let us know that they are gone and not have us keep trying to figure out what we’re doing wrong.

I use Siri all the time all day. Doing without saying hey, is a lot less important to me than having Apple bring back Siri’s ability to search photos for objects, dates and locations and other functions that I used all day  I used to have her read my notifications to me , while I get dressed, etc. That was the function I used every day and now in IPadOS  it is gone. I don’t understand why Apple keeps taking away, important functions and leaving us with silly things like taking away the “hey” in hey  Siri. Useless. Am I missing something that was announced? Is there a way to get her to continue reading notifications like she did in iPadOS 15? I’m not one of these people who thinks Siri needs to be as good as Google assistant or Alexa. But for goodness sake, stop taking away the functions that it was doing, and that guy, as an elderly person depend on every day.

Too bad he didn’t live long enough to see through a major focus on Siri.  Wish Apple would honor that particular nearly last aim of Jobs and make it all it could be on our devices.

I still miss the headphone jack to this day.

The feature that I am most mess are Apple not letting Siri scan my 10,000 photos for requested pictures of objects, dates, and people. It was such a great feature I hope they bring that back. Also I miss not being able to tell Siri to add something to a note. I have no idea why they took that feature away. Yes, I know that these things can be done manually, but Siri is easier and faster. Seconds seem to count in Apple world as a reason to introduce a feature as time-saving
