Agreed. Wait till you use the dictation function and ask for directions to a certain place and it gives you direction to a city hundreds of Killometers away. As in another State. I should try it with Fort Macmurry? I wonder if it would give me directions to the closest McDonalds, thinking I am asking for a Mcflurry? I really has trouble with a city outside a world reknowned ski resort, Whistler B C Canada. The city is called Squamish, where I had a potential job. It never could understand what I was saying and would always give me directions to places in California. Maybe she wanted a warmer climate? LOL.

It will come back and say I found such and such a place on such and such a Street, does that look good? Or is that the one you wanted? Well, Siri, since I already gave you the street name of the store name, and I know there is only one such on that street, why don't you just give me the phone number I asked for in the first place? Google does this and so does Alexa. But good old Siri still can't get this right even in iOS 11. Come on Apple. This is pretty elementary stuff. What the hell did you do with all your work on Siri, anyway? Have other people found improvements to Siri in the real world? I know it can do all sorts of music trivia about which I care not. But what about real world situations? You know, like when you want a phone number and don't want to engage in meaningless back-and-forth with your so called Assistant?
