Is it just me, or has Siri become a bit hard of hearing? Could it be because I’ve had my iPhone X for three years and it’s getting a bit old? I say “Set an alarm for seven fifty today.” It sets it for one thirty. I repeat it. It sets for seven thirty in the morning. Stupid thing, seven thirty in the morning has already passed today. Half the time, I can’t even get a response with the standard Hi Siri. Yet, the microphone is in excellent condition, the recorder shows perfect sound quality.

Maybe it’s the coronavirus? Or is it the age? Or did my pronunciation lessons mess something up? Why isn’t she talking to me?

By the way, seriously, has anyone heard about any improvements to Siri in the last few years? Is this topic even being developed at Apple? Why, for crying out loud, can’t I set a simple alarm in a million different ways, especially given that millions of users worldwide have been trying for many years? With so much data, she should be understanding from half a hint by now.

Siri doesn’t support any music service other than Apple Music (while Amazon Alexa supports everything). When Siri first appeared, Apple announced an App Store for AI, so where is all this? Why, roughly speaking, doesn’t installing Facebook teach Siri to understand its terminology and respond to typical questions? It would be logical – install an app, get voice support; uninstall, it goes away.
