Some of the comments here don’t take into account the human impact of working for Apple.

It seems that Apple puts huge pressure on the software teams to get features out of the door, to line up with new hardware releases.

This is due to the every year hardware refresh, meaning new software across a range of products, it’s unnecessary and only done as Apple maintains its profit margins.

Software from Apple has been poor for a long while, largely because the teams are not given the time needed to get it working in a way that meets quality control.

I feel for the teams that clearly wanted to get it working, even after they told Apple it might not be ready for the gravy train hardware refresh.
You must be joking because I can't begotten my eyes reading your post

What REAL features has Apple brought to iOS that isn't redone, course correction, an Emoji or version of that??! I mean real features not an extension like languages added!!

And please don't be lazy by just posting release notes and links to such! Want to see YOUR opinion of such OS features you feel that Apple developers have really been under pressure to complete to release in an entire year!!

Go ahead I'll wait. As many features for ios are NOT scheduled, mentioned for nor have been released for iPhone or iPad device launch schedules for OVER A DECADE! Again have NOT BEEN mentioned for iOS device release!!
 
2 biggest unacceptable Siri fails:

"you have to unlock your phone first"

"Here are the search results for what you asked"

Until these 2 responses are eliminated, Siri will be 100% a JOKE and so far behind Android, it's hilarious. Every new iPhone is a joke because the software is terrible.
3 weeks ago I switched to an iPhone 12 mini 128GB on ios 18.3 which updated to 18.3.1 and for both Siei lost her original female voice!!! This was a clean install directly from Apple via Apple Music on Windows.

To me that soured my experience from my last use of iphones which as 15.x as well as it being 1 of 3 reasons for me to quit ios!
 
I asked Siri this morning what 50×12 was and she directed me to a website. 🫏…💩
As much as I like the bulletproof construction of my 12 max and M2 iPad, I’m seriously looking at the Fold 7. As it stands now, I use Google search 99% of the time anyway.
I tried this just now and Siri gave me the correct answer 🤷‍♂️ I used type to Siri to do it. Obviously still buggy since it didn’t work for you, though.
 
If the Siri team happened to lift their chin up a bit, by coming here to this forum they will be brought down again twice as bad 🤣

And I have only skimmed through barely three pages of comments out of the 20+.
 
When Apple has failed to fix basic issues with Siri year after year it didn’t seem very realistic that new Siri was going to be achieved in the way they described.

It's downright embarrassing that one of the richest companies on the planet can't get an AI assistant right. Even basic AI assistants from 10 years ago are better than this joke called Siri. Apple has more money than almost anybody, and they can't make Siri any better than when it originally came out. The moment they tried to catch up, they were like, "nope, we can't do it," so they delayed it at least another year. It'll probably take till 2050 before we get any improvements to Siri at all
