Janet, before what you just said starts a firestorm, let me say this. Maybe you didn't read about all the hype Apple put into claiming in iOS 11 about a revamped, much smarter Siri. That is in their own words, not mine. If you really wanted to get picky, you could say that was false advertising. Everybody knows Siri is not human, and you're getting the wrong impression if we are misleading you to believe that she is! The point is, we have seen Siri work much better in the past. The term stupid is not necessarily referring to Siri as a stupid person, instead, the term stupid is referring to the fact that much of the added intelligence added to Siri, supposedly, is either not there at all, or is not functioning if it is. I would not go so far as to say the people that develop and program Siri are stupid, but they have become careless, rushing to deliver a product to beat or keep up with competition, but what good is it if it doesn't work as promised. They should have considered delaying a little, they need to put more work in to providing verification of received reported issues and higher priority into fixing them, especially when it comes to accessibility.

Sometimes, she works brilliantly, and if you take the time to work with her and learn how to ask things, she does a fantastic job. In other instances, you get the imp version of SIRI who seems to decide that making you work for everything is a lot of fun. In cases like that, I have learned to either restart the phone or just find another way to get at what I want. I just used SIRI quite successfully to search for restaurant information and get directions for later today. Take Care John D.

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?
