Is Siri Finally GOOD with Apple Intelligence?! Hands On in iOS 18.1!

You told it to set an alarm at 3pm and it set it for 3:36pm, how is that better? 😂

[@stanleyc2578]

hahaha good catch

[@Radagastthe1st]

Additionally, the old siri set a timer for 5 hours (which is not an alarm) but given that the phone time is 10:00 AM, the timer would have gone off at 3 PM so old siri technically would have performed better and reminded you of your event on time.

It does if you have your silence switch off

[@rileyolson6008]

Typing for Siri is already a feature but you can only do one or the other it’s nice that you can do both now

[@timhopkins23]

I had been using the type to Siri for quite a while but the problem with how they did it before is there was no way to choose voice or text.

[@NurseJenny79]

Siri is already the most used part of my phone. I text, call, create alarms, snooze alarms 😂 and add reminders with her. I cannot WAIT for this upgrade (once the bugs are worked out)!! I hope I can tell her to just read an article for me. I realize she can read my screen already but I have to set it up for her first. I’m a nurse and a single mom of elementary school kids. I have PTSD (after witnessing my late husband’s accident at our home) so my memory has been quite affected and this will (I hope) change my life even more than Siri already has! I’d forget everything without her and I’m not exaggerating.

[@7WOUNDSMUSIC]

I would add some music at a low volume in the background. It would add to the video to make it a little less empty.

[@Khailsworld]

Guess my question is has Apple or Will Apple gates better accessibilities for those who are blind so when series responds, it reads it to you because currently only certain things read back to you and using the existing accessibility options like voiceover does not automatically read the text that jumps up from Siri

[@LauraBudd]

When you say something like, "just double tap...." why don't you do it so we can see clearly what to do?

[@TheFPSChannel]

My brother lost the ability to speak and has felt left out of Siri He’s DEFINITELY going to love the new OS and the ability to type the query I’ll love asking requests that I can’t, at the time, say out loud.

He can turn on Type to Siri right now, even in iOS 17, in Accessibility settings

Will this get rid of forcing me to use Siri suggestions? That’s the worst thing Apple has ever created. On iOS 16, I was able to just completely disable it and be fine. On iOS 17, I disable it and it still shows up. Makes everything messy while showing me irrelevant stuff for no reason. I really hope in iOS 18, I can just turn this crap off.

Siri is about to go from gimmick to someone’s lover.

[@abdurrahmankhan129]

Before on iOS 16, when you were on Apple Maps you could ask Siri how far to the destination. Now, since then, instead of telling you how far, Siri now brings up a web search on how far to your destination. What’s going on?

ios cleanness is just so mind blowing My Goodness

Unfortunately that cleanness comes at the cost of functionality. The keyboard, probably the most used feature, still lacks a numbers row n symbols. Not even the option to have it. Too clean for my taste.

[@superfly4137]

bruh the only reason why i use siri is to not even touch the phone, so why would i use a keyboard to type something to siri?

[@AppleInsider]

Well if it could answer any question you had, while you’re using it. Like sending a text, double tap, ask if you’re free in two weeks, get an answer, go back to your convo. Or look up what an actor was in. Or so much more

[@superfly4137]

@@AppleInsider yes but does that need us to text our query to siri? Or can it be a voice query say while we are using our phones such as texting someone? Correct me if im wrong, but while texting our friend we double tap which would bring about the siri keyboard and then we continue type out or question to siri? Wouldn’t it be faster that while texting our friend we double tap somewhere to ask siri if we have anything scheduled in two weeks? The beauty of siri is in voice command so we don’t have to touch the keyboard.

Only Apple makes consumers buy their last device to get a working speech assistant. Siri should have been improved for all iphones compatible with ios 18. Other AI features could have been available only from Iphone 16 but Siri... come one Apple.

The apple marketing machine. Don’t believe the hype. Apple is simply very late to the game, again. These features n more have existed for awhile. The difference is, the other co’s don’t make u buy an updated device from a one year old phone, to use these features. It was apple’s decision to cheap out on the iPhone 15 chip, as well as insufficient ram.

[@Ryan-pz2wh]

I think their justification for requiring a new iPhone was that they wanted to handle as many of the AI functions on device rather than being dependent on a server which is demanding on the processor.

[@jphuwae4505]

They’re doing everything on device unlike Android. That’s why only new iPhones can handle AI

[@hhhmmmmmmmm]

@@jphuwae4505 sure

[@Spoonfed78]

The chip has ample ability, it wasn't that long ago the 14Pro chip was techtuber benchmark bragger. It's largely a cash grab manipulating loyal users into a new device. There are claims that 6GB of ram is the limiting factor, again a cop out when many completing brands had 12GB in yhe the same era. In any case this would only be a limiting action for some functionality, so many features touted as AI for the rest of (correction the few of us) are exist already and run locally on many devices even iPhones if you install the apps.
