Hooray, finally Siri will be able to see my exasperation when she bungles my commands!

"I am sorry, I can't recognize your facial expression. Did you mean, find the nearest McDonald's?"
I know I wouldn't complain if she came to my house...and brought a pizza and 12 pack with her, since my wife would find it a little off-putting if she showed up empty handed.
There may be some benefit in terms of Acessibility settings for these ideas. Apple has been struggling lately software feature and quality, but one aspect that to my knowledge they're still excelling at compared to its rivals is how simple and solid those settings are for disabled users. Hope to see them continue that with iOS 11
Okay. Let's be completely honest. These features sound a lot like things that another company has implemented into their phones. A company named... Samsung.
They actually ARE features that Samsung has put in past phones.
That's not a bad thing. Just for the vocal minority that thing that Samsung only borrows from Apple, it's something to think about.
I literally saw my coworker swiping his hand across his Samsung phone yesterday in order to take a screenshot.

Well, I've had Photos detect a face in my arse (even though I was wearing quite loose and long black shorts) and ask if that's me
In a way I wish I were kidding.
I love doing these crazy things on my Samsung phones...when they work and don't eat through my battery.
I'd rather any of these manufacturers make the features they do decide to use work smoothly and reliably. I'm so sick of half-tailed implementations. Siri, my darling, I'm looking at you. I used to love you but you don't bring me flowers anymore. Instead you say "here are the search results for "four hours".
Well said. Many a feature that Apple adds "late" typically works very well. I have to give them that.I love doing these crazy things on my Samsung phones...when they work and don't eat through my battery.

I absolutely agree about Siri. Yikes. I picked up a Nexus 6P last weekend and Google Now is AMAZING! The voice recognition and search results are unmatched.
Curious -- judging by your post, have you have had bad luck with some of the Samsung gesture features?

I reluctantly but also genuinely want to know what you're talking about.Well, I've had Photos detect a face in my arse (even though I was wearing quite loose and long black shorts) and ask if that's me

Every time I read that'll have to buy a giant ass phone in order to gain access to the premium features I just get angry. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to pay extra to have the latest features, just don't force me into the whole phablet thing. The 4.7" phone fits perfectly in my hands.
Now when I steal your iPhone 8, I know how I'm going to unlock it.Well, I've had Photos detect a face in my arse (even though I was wearing quite loose and long black shorts) and ask if that's me

Well it was quite a WTF moment with Photos
My wife had snapped a picture of me walking with our son at a local beach in normal summer clothing. When I imported the pics, there was that face detection box drawn over my arse and a question balloon asking if that's me there. Let's just say that there have been times when I've had more confidence about Apple's face detection algorithms 
I've had every single iPhone (except the iPhone 6) and this is by far the best I've had. In my book it has some pretty good upgrades over my iPhone 6S (Great camera, speed, water resistant and the new home button are some of my favourites)
Might not have the first-glance-magic the iPhone 4 for example had, but it's a way more complete and error-free package
Hmm, 5,8 inches only for the OLED model. I really hope there will be a smaller version as well, like 5 inches. I really don't feel like going with the 7s, that's basically the same phone we've had for three generations now.
So a fingerprint was not good enough? I'm buying stock in mask companies...and photoshop.
