I'm its babysitter. Getting tired of it. Can't export photos--photo bursts have corrupted meta-data from reusing file name used for other photos (not sure how this happened). Image Capture failed to import as did Photos app on Mac. AppleCare couldn't figure it out. I finally did by having to import batches of images at a time with over 10,000 images/videos. Can't make a full back-up of the phone. Every time it goes for two hours and looks just fine and like it will finish and then says the phone was disconnected and back up failed, even though it's the exact same it was the entire time. Can't export my health data. It just doesn't work. I turned off auto-lock and the phone will try for hours and finally say it failed. Been trying to accomplish these tasks for months because of problems with the phone (dropped calls, crackly calls, the phone freezing) that Apple says require reinstalling the OS. So Im basically supposed to erase the phone to make it work better, but in a multitude of ways I can't get my stuff off of it first. It's a continual weekend project.Your $849 iPhone does a lot more than Siri.
So yes it does more than just Siri, but I'm not happy with it right now. I don't want to lose my settings and esp don't want to lose my Health data so I'm in a quagmire.
Also I would imagine the iPhone 7 has a much more powerful processor than the Echo Dot. And even on my iPhone 7 using the Google App I am much better understood than using Siri--Siri is more convenient though because of the integration.
