I’m glad that Bixby can do something useful, considering that most android 
users don’t like it. It is too bad that Siri cannot turn off the iPhone. I 
don’t think Google can turn off the android phone. He didn’t used to. Has he 
gotten better? I wouldn’t buy a Samsung phone and pay the ridiculous price just 
so I could turn off my phone with Bixby. Just me.
