As long as Siri is double digit IQ level, no other discussions merit having. It’s sad we’re still here so long after introducing this feature.

Would you please pass the cereal?
Are you serious?
Let me look up the serial number.

I bet the "Hey Siri" -> "Siri" change is going to be pulled from 17.0 and not going to materialize before 17.2
My dog’s name is “Gracy”. I get more responses from my Apple devices than I do my dog. I don’t see how “Gracy” is so similar to “Siri” to the point it will respond 7 out of 10 attempts. I guess my southern drawl is to blame. No way would it be suckish programming 
Well, it wouldn’t for me if I could make my HomePod listen for hey Siri and my iPad listen just for Siri. Then my HomePod would not be activating instead of my iPad with my HomePod can’t do half the things my iPad can.

Looking forward for those web articles!
Usually I go through a substantial amount of YouTube videos (listening as if podcasts), audiobooks, etc while jogging and exercising but leave blog posts or interesting written tidbits for later in the night (if time permits, they just pile up over time).
This would let people to squeeze in web pages along their general listening habits. Will definitely try.

How can you forget? She keeps popping up in normal conversations.
Your sons name is “Hey”?
can’t wait to accidentally trigger Siri even more now.
“Serious” should be a nice challenge for her

I just wish when I was navigating already and I ask siri to navigate somewhere else it would just do it instead of telling me I'm already navigating.
Last year, they taught Siri grammar - incorrectly. She puts a comma after everything - all I wanted out of this year's update was to fix the fix for her dictation skills that still suck.
Hopefully dropping “Hey” doesn’t cause more false activations.
But Siri even now activates accidentally pretty often. I can’t imagine that simplifying the common will improve on that.
It may but from what I’ve heard, you have the option to retain the “hey, Siri” version if you want.
To be fair, I haven’t been able to trigger Siri with these words preceded by “hey”.

So now instead of only occasionally activating when I say the word "seriously," Siri will kick in EVERY time I say it. Brilliant!
Completely off the subject here, but lately, when I asked Siri to read my calendar for the next day instead of her usual, reading of all my events, she just says you have three events tomorrow. And then does not proceed to read them off. I am not asking my question in any way differently, But then I have to struggle to get her to read what the events actually are or pick up my iPad, sometimes from across the room, and look at them myself. has anyone had Siri stop reading your calendar events to you and just tell you the number of events that you have?

I don’t use Siri very often, but all of those are such nice improvements to it. I’m not really sure about dropping the “hey” part though.. it already gets activated a lot by accident, so I’m a little worried this could make it even worse

You can choose "Hey Siri" rather than "Siri" to activate it.I don’t use Siri very often, but all of those are such nice improvements to it. I’m not really sure about dropping the “hey” part though.. it already gets activated a lot by accident, so I’m a little worried this could make it even worse
