Phones with fingerprint sensors on the back that double as swipe pads solved the one handed awkward gesture problem. Too bad Apple skipped that step.

i should be able to say "hey siri, swipe left" but she's as useless as ever e: just tried this and it changed the track in Music instead of hitting back in my Safari tab. that's not what i wanted at all, worse than useless!!

If Apple would abandon Siri and default to Assistant it really would be the perfect phone.

I could use tracking of my bus trips.

Toe Rag posted:What is the use case for Siri most of the time anyway? I mostly use it to set a timer while I'm walking my dog. as a voice activated command interpreter, siri is fine. i think the complaints come when people really want whatever a "digital assistant" is. there is a lot of pie in the sky potential for a digital assistant driven by some kind of AI to do things for you -- conduct whole phone calls, book appointments and travel, remind you automatically about deadlines, bills, maintenance, suggest stuff for you read/buy/do/see (in ways that are actually useful unlike modern advertising), etc. but outside of stuff that's at least a century away from being a real thing a computer can do for you, i do think the basics of voice commands are handled well by siri: setting a timer or alarm, controlling music and navigation, calling or texting a contact. i've heard the criticism often that siri sucks compared to amazon and google's version, but the only actual cool thing i've seen that i might actually use from either of those was the thing the pixels had where it would screen your calls for you and give you a transcript in real time. i'm sure that's massively frustrating for whoever calls you though, haha. anyway, other than that it seems like a lot of gimmicks that you'd never really need. like, i remember trying the google assistant for a while, and it did learn a lot about me and was able to do stuff like notify me what my commute time would be or point out stuff that was nearby sometimes. but none of that stuff was ever actually useful, it just became more white noise to ignore.

An Android user one posted that Siri was bad because they were driving and asked Siri some random movie trivia and Siri said they couldn't answer it while they were driving so they asked Google and Google could. So I guess the usecase for Siri is to ask useless trivia while driving

Siri has it's moment of uselessness, but I use it pretty often to.... - Turn my Hue lights on and off, especially "Turn off all the lights" at the end of the night - Set reminiders, many of which are location-based - Add items to my calendar - Set Timers and Alarms - Turn my TV and Off - Shazam - Driving directions - Random "Google"-like questions ("What year did Castaway come out?") It works good enough for my use-cases, I always have my Apple Watch with me, and I'm not willing to give any other tech vendor more of my data than I already need to.

My wife has a magic vocals where voice dictation works 100% of the time with almost no errors so she routinely recites notes when studying. I guess that's not technically Siri, but it's kinda in the same speech processing ballpark. I've tried it and apparently I mumble way too much because the error rate is enormous.

Apple hosed me by releasing the green 13 Pro midway through the cycle. I had to make do by getting the gold one and mixing it with green cases but this is unacceptable Tim.

This is going to vary by use case, but how quickly does your phone typically reach 80% battery health (when you receive a warning)? My brother's 2020SE just hit that point just short of 2 years of getting his.

I think it's too variable to come up with a rule. All the devices my family have used for 3+ years have developed severely degraded batteries (sudden drain and shutoff events) but none has ever got down to 80%.
