What's being asked about isn't about the whole feature itself, but some of its functions that aren't central or important to what feature provides.The feature is Siri and yes you can turn it off.

They can all be used in the same way (with voice commands) without Siri?The feature is Siri and with it comes some amount of "personality" to give a bit of a human touch. The features being discussed can all be used without Siri.
That certainly seems like a useful contribution.I would bet my life savings that op lives a really boring life.

So is that a yes or no? The question is whether or not same things can be done the same way without Siri (as that was suggested as the solution to the original issue that was brought up)?Give me a break. Voice command has been around for ages and people don't use it. People use Siri. Guess why?

I'm trying to see if perhaps I'm overlooking something. As far as I know disabling Siri won't allow for most many features it provides to work through similar voice control. Which means disabling Siri isn't really a solution to the issue that was presented.Why do I need to provide an answer you already have? Just adding my thoughts. You don't have to agree, but I bet most agree the tone of this thread is a bit over the top. I'm glad I'm not subjected to folks like that on a daily basis.
Thank you but what I want is the option to turn off the comments? I would certainly like that feature. For instance, I'd like, when I ask for the time, for Siri not to respond "you woke me up" "way too early" etc.The feature is Siri and yes you can turn it off.
Thanks so much for a civil response. I use Siri with my earbuds, but I'll give it a try.The only way I've found to turn off Siri's "maybe funny the first time" quips is to go to Settings>General>Siri>Voice Feedback and select "Handsfree Only."
The timer works, and can hear alert sounds. I also still get the information I'm looking for. I just have to read it instead of listening. But for me, it's worth it.
Wow. Just tried this and go the same exact response. I think this is inappropriate no matter if you have a religion or not.So now my Iphone is Jewish?
I asked it "Siri, what time is it?"
it's response was,
"It's 4:47 PM. Happy Hanukkah! Wishing you lots of latkes!"
I happen to not be religious, and I really didn't appreciate my phone blurting out anyones celebration, for any reason. I didn't ask what obscure religious holiday it is, I just asked for the time.
I am also frustrated with the smart remarks that my phone gives me when setting a timer or creating a calendar event.
I vote for a toggle to shut off all of the smart-ass-ed-ness.
Once in a while a professional buys one of these phones, and tries to use it as a tool... It is disruptive "behaviour" when the tool starts back talking.
Yes, I have US calendars holidays enabled. Have had these for many years now.I tried it twice just now and did not get that. It said Good evening, Jessica. Do you guys have the US Calendar holidays enabled?

Hm, ok, well it's not listed in there so that rules that out.I hadn't open Calendar on iOS 9 to begin with so I was wondering if that had anything to do with it.
I *DID NOT* say it was a flaw.
The problem is that it should be customizable.
It's called an "I" phone.
so "I" should be able to turn that **** off if it's bothering me.

These threads are absolutely hilarious. You can't make this (xxxx) err....stuff up. The comebacks and righteous indignation.....just precious. People take their opinions sooooo seriously.....
Gets out second bag of popcorn.
Remember Art Linkletter, with "Kids say the darnedest things"
How about, "iPhone users have the funniest complaints"
Sounds like you can't handle a strong and independent... iPhone
