Part of it is a mic issue. Since getting the 16 Siri has had no problem understanding and responding. On the other hand Alexa is a complete disaster on my echo dot
I am running the beta of iOS 18.1 and currently cleanup is available in photos when Apple Intelligence is off.
Siri is still a disaster, still sends you to webpages to obtain requested information. When asking Siri to look for future appointments, the syntax has to match the appointment title exactly, otherwise, Siri cannot locate the appointment. At this time, Siri is still inadequate as a personal assistant.
They managed to completely ruin Apple photos and video playback on iOS 18. Watch the YouTube video I made here:
In 2 days the video has over 1,000 views and dozens of comments.
Here is the Apple support forum post I made which has over 50 me too and 100 thumbs up:

In short they made videos open up in a smaller window and you cannot watch a video frame by frame unless it’s in this tiny window or if you zoom in. Then when you zoom in you can also see 1 second of the video instead of the full video. It is a complete disaster and the Apple employee(s) that came up with this “feature” and those that approved of it should all be fired.

It’s not a complete disaster. That’s hyperbole. I’m sure the photos app will get tweaked.They managed to completely ruin Apple photos and video playback on iOS 18. Watch the YouTube video I made here:

high hopes for photo clean-up - I've never had a Pixel or similar & looking forward to this natively at last on iPhone.

You have somewhere field where you can teach Siri how you pronounce that name. Probably in contacts. Have used it long time ago.
If Siri was smart enough to know it was trying to say a contact name in a sentence by applying just a small amount of semantic logic, it could look up the correct pronunciation (if needed) and get it right.
As it is, it decides that having a mixed-case Roman numeral in the middle of a sentence is the most likely outcome. I guess the Chinese president doesn't have an iPhone.
Maybe petition the EU to stop trying to scam money from Apple. Or maybe have someone in the EU invent something.
This sounds like a nice, level headed conversation. Well done chaps 👏🏻
I've been using the features for as long as the beta version has been available to me, the developer beta. Siri is still seriously flawed. Certainly cannot understand context. I use ChatGPT on my phone more than Siri. The summarizing the email feature doesn't entirely suck, but it's really not that useful you know from the first two sentences whether or not you wanna deal with the email. The auto responses and messages I've used a couple of times they boil a plate as you would expect relatively accurate. But taller than my normal response would be if I care to make a response I would take the time.The feature I use the most is of course clean up, now I don't have to go to the Google photos app

Thank you for showing the video playback update in iOS 18. I was just about to update, but now I am staying on iOS 17! This is really a step back. It seem that Apple continues to pull this UI regression crap.
The iOS17 Video playback with the picture timeline scrubber was perfect.
Not that you would not be right from some point of view but from other main goal of American politics, military and Secret services is to prevent anyone can compete with America or put her hegemony in risc. But thanks god nothing last forever.
