Apple to acquire voice app firm PullString in deal worth below $100M, report says
This is where I am at with Siri. I dont get the anger. Current voice first platforms are all limited. This generation of Alexa, Siri, Google are not what the future will look like for voice first.ihatescreennames said:

It’s completely decent. I have no issues with normal tasks such as notes, reminders, texts, appointments, homekit, and routine trivia. What sort of real world problems are you having?patchythepirate said:
Right? This is probably another ploy by Apple to trick its users into thinking Siri will actually be decent sometime in the near future. Not falling for it this time.AppleExposed said:Good buy!
But when will Apple use their tech? Apple acquired a company years ago that had a voice assistant that was so smart it makes all the current assistants look like 4-year-olds.
if I ask Siri, “How old is Ben Kingsley?”, get the answer then ask, “Who is his wife?”, get the answer then ask “What is her bra size?” Siri comes back with “Here’s what I found on the web for ‘bra size’.” Complete fail! That proves Siri sucks compared to all others even though I haven’t tried this exact same sequence anywhere else. I heard Siri sucks so it’s true because of internet.
/s
I’m with you. I use Siri multiple times a day for a variety of tasks and rarely have issues. When I run into problems it’s usually because I have a poor connection.

Pullstring will allow Apple access all the Alexa skills. https://twitter.com/brianroemmele/status/1096768278322569216?s=21
Apple also hired a person to lead their smart home efforts:

Amazon has an army of 10,000 people working on Alexa. Aquiring Pullstring has just put Apple into a position to level the playing field and provides a platform build a SiriOS. So, much for ‘Apple will never catch up’ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -
No Chinese iPhone rebound seen in January following Apple's harsh December quarter
Yes, that is the issue... not a trade war and Chinese gov’t ‘nudging’ its citizens toward homemade products. Get a new narrative.ireland said:Consider more affordable iPhone, Apple.

Apple rumored to launch subscription News at March 25 event, 'AirPods 2' and new iPad mini...
Anyone think Apple could incorporate the iPhone Upgrade Program into an all-in-one Apple services bundle? iPhone XS 64gb (which includes Applecare) is $49.91/mo add say $20 more and get Apple music, news, iCloud, TV, App/game sub?
One bundled price instead $49.91 plus $9.99 plus $9.99 plus $0.99 plus $4.99 etc etc.

Apple may have been paid $9.5B by Google in 2018 to stay default Safari search option
Duck Duck Go has gotten a lot better over the last year or so... at least in my experience. Wish it were the default for Apple customers.
If that $9.5b is real... not sure how Apple can turn that down. Was hoping to see them go another route and ween themselves off Google but no one is turning down that amount of money.
