iOS 27 Siri Update Will Let Users Make Multiple Requests at Once

I'm actually going to be a little sad if the new Siri turns out to be great because all the hilarious posts about how dumb Siri is now will be gone. 🙁

After the constant stream of unfounded rumours about all sorts of stuff for months now - Apple TV to release imminently, same for HomePod Mini, stocks running low so it really is imminent this time, Apple to demo new Siri in February, updated Siri coming in iOS 26.4, etc, etc - is Macrumours now trying to avoid using the name "Gurman" as the source of a rumour and instead using phrases such as "Bloomberg reports"?

Following that Bloomberg link the article is, as I suspected, written by Gurman.
 
Oh okay sure sure. Today I asked Siri with Apple “Intelligence” enabled what time the moon rises. It replied “Want me to check the web for that?”. IT IS IN YOUR OWN NATIVE WEATHER APP! Then I asked it to open August, my door lock app. It replied “I am sorry I see no calendar events for August 1st from 9pm until midnight”.

Siri needs to be taken out back and shot. It's a total crap show, a dumpster fire, a disaster.....

My wife said Apple needs to completely remove Siri - it is 100% useless. I proved it to her with my recent requests. None of them were fulfilled. Basic stuff!
 
It is a testament to the power of Apple's ecosystem that we are being told that Apple products "might" "in the near future" be able to do really basic and important things I've been able to do with other companies products for years. The response here is understandable, if also sad, which is basically, "just tell me how to turn this feature off on my Apple product because I know based on multiple past experiences that Apple will completely screw it up." I mean, Apple was supposed to be the company that touted "it just works." That was before the advent of the personal assistant and "AI."
 
One thing Apple needs to do is figure out how to have its implementation of AI move from "problem-saturated" to "solution-focused." When I use Siri for anything other than 2015 basic commands ("Hey Siri, send a text message to....") I almost always get a response telling me why Siri can't do what I've asked it to do. So, of course, like others here, I just basically never, ever use Siri. When I use Claude (co-work), and I ask it to do something, usually with multiple tasks embedded in a single request, it parses out the requests, breaks them down, and then if it either doesn't understand something I've asked, or how a particular request fits within the other tasks, it ASKS ME what it doesn't understand and it OFFERS SUGGESTIONS for how to do what it thinks I want it to do, and it is almost always correct. How can Apple not see this? How many blind mice are running the show there? Just stupid!
