History of Siri 

Siri's only really problems are the following: 1. her lack of ability to remember context or chains of queries. like, she struggles with follow-up questions. 2. she doesn't always/usually respond with voice feedback when asking a query, for example, you can ask Siri something and she wont respond vocally, just a here is what I found: followed by a link or article etc. if apple can get those two things going, there is nothing more Siri really needs to do. Everything else is fine.

Ah! So Apple chose to respect the user’s privacy and chose not to throw them into the ad world. Now I have more respect for Siri!

Siri has helped me so much i have a disability and i dont have strong arms so asking siri to open apps even to message for me is fantastic thank you Siri and apple in general for your amazing support

Siri turn on the flashlight. *sOrRy I cAnT uNdErStAnD yOu*

At least I'm not having my information sent to advertising.

4s? 4S??? Man I feel old, and I just turned 18.

Great video 🙂 I use Siri regularly. I have always used it to get things done. I am not one to ask it all that many general knowledge type questions. Make calls, send messages in different apps, set reminders, make lists, schedule and check on events in my calendar, check if I have any new emails, "what's the whether like tomorrow?", control Apple Music, and making currency and measurement conversions - that is what I use Siri for. It does a remarkable job at that. Then, when it comes to the other stuff, it has gotten better at that too. A couple of months ago, Apple started using Google again for Siri and Search. It has massively improved Siri's ability to find a lot of the useless trivia I've asked it. I respect Apple's focus on privacy and thank them for it.

I say "Hey Siri" to Google Assistant

So basically, would you rather have privacy, or would you rather have a more useful virtual assistant? Privacy: Siri Useful: Basically the rest

Happy to sacrifice some functionality for privacy. The others really are only better with trivial stuff... which is, frankly, trivial. With the Apple Watch, Siri is fantastic - dictating messages, setting reminders, adding events, searching for locations and navigating, controlling HomeKit devices and starting/stopping workouts.

Siri helps in small, nifty things like music, alarms, timers, reminders, weather, home control... a pretty nifty feature Though the Google Assistant has leapfrogged in advancements

My favorite part is the Siri Rage. “Hey, Siri. Call Giovani’s Pizza” and, instead of calling the one 4 miles away, she calls one in another state. “Hey, Siri. Give me directions to 555 5th street” and, instead of giving me directions to the closest address, she sends me to another city.

Yea I use Siri every day like 20+ or more but I feel like It also needs to know those trivial kind of questions because those are important too those are also a thing to get done

Siri does all the basics of my need. and does well.

i knew i wasnt crazy for remembering siri being on the app store. that was so long ago, like 2009 i think.

I used to use the stand alone Siri app before it was acquired by Apple. I learned about it through my college professor in 2009 whose nephew was one of the 20 or so original developers. I LOVED the app, it worked so well and was extremely useful and surprising good at handling fairly random requests.

Does anybody remember voice control? THE MEMORIES!!! MMMMMMMMMM

I use Siri very little, like make a call or send a message. This works perfect enough for me, but I do hate how it NEEDS internet to function. Like it cant do a simple 2+2 unless connected to the internet?!

I love you history videos, keep them up!!

Lol i asked siri to search on youtube for history of siri and found you in the top of the list! I didnt know you had make this vid

I use Siri to launch Google Assistant and Google Maps. :)

From the ones ive used this is how I rank voice assistants 1. Ok Google 2.Siri 3.Bixby Honestly, Bixby sucked so bad for me. It never understood what I asked it, even if it was a common or basic command and ofteb answered "sorry, I dont know how to do that" to things that I know Google and Siri can do. It misunderstood me often.

Wait Facebook made an AI assistant??

it never really improved other than the voice.... don’t get me wrong, i’m a big fan of apple but siri doesn’t do the job for me.

I use Siri for lots of things like weather, searching for locations, searching Wikipedia, setting calendar, reminders, taking notes and setting alarms. And it does the job quite well. When I use Google Assistant it never gets what I’m saying, it’s really annoying.

Me:"Hey Siri, turn off WiFi. Siri:*Dies. Your Apple device: Siri not available You are not connected to the Internet

Holy cow I forgot how long ago Siri came out, feels like yesterday I was impressed at my dads newest 4s, now years later I am the one getting excited for tech and sometimes buying it and he doesn’t want to change his 6s PLUS

Apple: Adds a feature Other companies: Another chance to enhance our software.

"How much do you use Siri?" Man. Siri basically using my phone😂

This reminds me of the Google Maps/Apple Maps disaster in which Google basically said to Apple, “if you don’t share the car location data and other tracking data, you can’t use our maps app. No way Steve Jobs would take that deal. Hence they had to scramble to finish their Maps app which wasn’t ready although they had been working on. The media had a good laugh at Apple, but it was due to some shady work on Googles part

For me, Siri far surpasses the 'useful threshold' while retaining privacy. I've always loved its focus on on-device tasks rather than answers from online sources. It's just so much easier and faster to use Siri for calling someone, setting timers or reminders, or playing songs. And it did this in 2011, the rest was kind of extra.

wait...then what was voice command for ipod touch 3?

Happy 10th Anniversary, SIRI! We’re glad that you’re our famous voice software after all those years. 😀 😁 😃 😃 😄 😁 🍾 🎉 🎊 🥳

Man, i love saying 'thanks' to Siri :)

Siri sets my alarm for me when I'm too drunk lmao

The only problem is that it can’t do basic stuff without internet, like tell me what time it is, play a downloaded song and etc.

Siri’s design during iOS 5-6 times is amazing

Siri, call my wife "Okay, finding you a recipe for chicken alfredo..."

Wow Siri looks so much more different compared to before I always thought that the iOS 10 Siri was the only Siri until iOS 14

I use it all the time, mostly on my watch. To check the weather, to set timers and alarms, to send quick messages and to call people, very rarely to do anything else. It’s handy.

When you hear Kobe’s name after his death 😭😭😭😭😭

If you do not get this joke there is something SIRIUSly RON with you

Nice put together video. I really enjoyed it.

Other AIs: *collecting data to get better* Siri: I did it, I gave them privacy. What did it cost? Siri: *brain cells*

Wonderful! That's a lot of effort to make it. Thank you.

Siri has really helped people with disabilities. One of my friends has trouble moving his arms and uses Siri extensively to do things on his phone since it otherwise causes pain to do manually.

Siri impressed the audience but the audience looked bored. Apple is not bad at making presentations that are interesting.

oh my god ! i had Siri before it was integrated ! i remember that app 😅

I switched to Google Assistant because Siri couldn't even hear me and I have Alexa too but Alexa didn't even understand what questions I was asking so now I'm fully Google Assistant

2010 : a logo 2016 : aurora borealis

Not for trivia so that’s why I get “I found this on the web” instead of just reading me the top result now that makes sense

"Hey Siri, call my brother" "SORRY I COULDN'T FIND YOUR BROTHER CRAIG JONES IN YOUR CONTACTS' "..."

This just reminded me of something dumb I did years ago. So when I was about 5-years-old I discovered Siri on my mom's phone. I was a huge fan of Star Wars at the time and I was just asking Siri to show pictures of Star Wars. Then my 5-year-old ass decided to ask Siri to show me Star Wars characters using the bathroom. My mom overheard me and I got in big trouble.

The privacy information you stated is very skewed so much so that some of it is essentially false. Google does indeed collect voice data for improvements in recognition and suggested features. However, Apple may not store voice data but they most likely do store the queries, every query is sent to Apple's servers and processed there which is why Siri requires an internet connection. Apple's lack of innovation is not due to its lack of data collection, Apple are simply focusing elsewhere. Google for the record, give full control over storing voice data, all of it can be viewed on the myaccount site and can even be disabled if the user chooses.

i want to know when is siri ever created so i can say happy birthday to siri

For 50K ideas: The history of the oldest, continuous app on the macOS / iOS platform.

I don't think user data have much to do with Siri's dumb behaviors, it simply lags behind technologically. Say, Google Assistant doesn't require web connection to outperform Siri in voice recognition accuracy, and the gap between them can be huge.

I am in the iOS eco-system full-bore. I love Siri BUT I tend to use Hey-Google for informational purposes most often. I really hope Apple can tweak Siri out soon to be more of a Rock Star system like it once was when it was an embryo. I believe Apple can achieve Siri Stardom if only to just do it.

I’m like yourself, I only use Siri really for sending texts and making phone calls or maybe asking a quick question occasionally. This video has actually been a real insight to be honest, as I didn’t know Siri could do so much and I can remember when it came out on the iPhone 4S!

I still pick Siri over Google Marketing Bots.

I love SIRI it's the best assistant I ever had. And I USED IT ALL THE TIME.

It's now Siri's 10th anniversary after being introduced on the iPhone 4s!

I use it mostly for calls, spelling and defining words and lastly for timers.

I subscribe because I love the way you explained things

I’ve never got what do other assistants do that Siri can’t?... I mean she always do whatever I want from her without problems and I can’t think of anything else I would need digital assistant to do for me?!?... So I’m just curious what do people use for example google assistant for that Siri won’t be able to do?...

I’m a Ap-WAIT NINA? THAT’S MY FREAKING NAME...

Who remembers the days before Siri, when only “Voice Control” existed? It was awful and never worked, that is if it actually understood what you said.

I use Siri all of the time and it works fine for me and I love the syncing feature

I only use siri for three things, setting timer, so i would not forget to take out beer from freezer, setting WC lights at exactly 2% brightness at night when i go to take #2, turning on coffee machine before i fall out the bed in the morning, and turning on AC before coming back from work.. damn, i guess that's four things.. maybe i should try using siri for math lessons too....

when u said hey siri my phone paused the video and siri took over waiting for me to ask her something like wtf

When imu Said google now, it triggered my phone 😂

You should have mentioned Voice Control in iPhone 3GS before Siri

I don’t use Siri for much outside of setting reminders and alarms. I think that it’s pretty cool that it dates all the way back to 2010.

I mostly use Siri for the HomePod when listening to music. Most of the time it's an okay experience, but sometimes Siri can be incredibly dumb. Sometimes I will ask her to play a song and she will act like the song does not exist, only for me to manually search the song on Apple Music and it be right there. Other times she will play remixes of a song or a live version, when I want to hear the original version, and I can't get her to play the original. Then there's some songs that use a character like ?!@# in the title that I can't possibly verbalize, and there's no way of knowing what the verbal cue would be to tell Siri to play that particular song or album, so I always have to do it manually for those albums or songs. Things like that might sound minor, but they really do disrupt the flow of easily laying back and listening to music when I end up having to dig my phone up after struggling to get Siri to play the song or album I want. I don't expect Siri to be a Trivial Pursuit machine, but she's advertised as a musicologist by Apple themselves, so I expect her to at least know a Billboard charting song exists.

"We didn't design Siri to be trivial pursuit" yeah and I am sure Google didn't design Google Assistant to be either, but it still kicks Siri's ass in almost if not all areas of what a virtual assistant can do AND it's funny...

I switched to IOS in July of 2017. I enjoy Siri and it is very helpful! Setting calendar entry’s, setting location and time based reminders have helped me remember things I used to forget all the time. I have enjoyed Siri both on my Apple Watch series 2 and my iPhone SE!

I use Siri about once a day. It’s a nice feature to have. The new shortcuts app is exceptional and I can now personally program Siri to do things I need it to do that she doesn’t normally do. I enjoy Siri as a feature and am glad apple still cares about it.

I really only use Siri for Setting alarms and also sometimes I ask her questions but sometimes when I ask her questions she says that she doesn’t understand me or can’t do that

Nobody: Literally nobody: Not even Justin Bieber: Siri: *i’M nOt SuRe I uNdErStAnD*

What I’ve noticed when switching back to Apple after several years with android and a few of them with Google Assistant is this: I was often annoyed that Google Assistant, as much as I like it, failed to understand what I wanted when I was gonna send someone a WhatsApp message while navigation was on. You know, while I am driving I don’t want to even hold my phone. Since I’ve heard how bad Siri was supposed to be in comparison I did not expect it to work so flawlessly when I did the same thing on my new iPhone. And also the way Siri uses context is much better. Like when I asked Google Assistant what’s the weather gonna be like today and my next question is “how about tomorrow”, it won’t know what I’m talking about.

I use Siri every day for making calls, sending texts, setting alarms, and sometimes changing settings, and listening to music. It works really well. I would say better than Alexa. I only use it for accomplishing tasks, not for answering trivia questions or anything like that though.

After watching this I used Siri.

Reminders, calendar events, alarms, timers, starting music, texting people quickly and quick math are very fast and easy with Siri on iOS 13. For certain things the response is almost instantaneous. Google assistant is good at those things too but I find Siri to be more reliable at doing it faster than I could’ve done on my own

Surprisingly Siri been more useful to me than Google Assistant

Siri>Bixby Google Assistant>Every other AI assistant

I can't believe apple stole the code for siri from Thailand 😭

I kinda feel like most virtual assistants are just lacking. The only thing I use them for is setting timers at work and finding out quick information.

who likes apple

I can use it to change to a specific song in my car using Hey Siri, it’s really easy to use and works with the cars Bluetooth. I also ask it to call people for me when I’m busy with my hands like cooking and stuff so I don’t get my phone dirty

Whenever I ask Siri to "read this" while in front of an article, it just won't. Google Assistant knows and processes the article for it to read properly like a human would

If Siri had a button that, if I pushed it, it’d send the question to Apple for consideration, I’d appreciate that. For example, just in the last few days I’ve asked Siri which year certain apple products were released, and it simply said “everything you need to know about apple products is on our website”, and getting the runtime of a film was something of a pain, with me needing to rephrase the question. Neither Google Assistant or Siri is superior to where Cortana was a good few years ago. Apple isn’t the only dev that’s stagnated.

I use Siri to get directions and call through CarPlay. What frustrates me is trying to get two things done in a row. Although I do like her offering to get directions or call when I ask the nearest X restaurant.

It's always easier to start a task with my thumbs than to formulate how Siri would like me to ask it. And while driving, forget it. It's too noisy to give voice commands. I just hold my thoughts until I can park.

Even though I love Apple unfortunately Siri is way behind other smart assistants. I agree that Apple´s priority is privacy, hoe that we could see some improvements inn iOS 12 

Siri is good but can't scratch my back, which is a big problem for me .

Google Assistant is great for random questions like: how much does a grasshopper weigh? Or, how old is Wolverine?

siri is such a wholesome person

My grandpa uses siri all all the time. Its actually REALLY fun to put two iphones and have the siris talk to eachother,...

How smart Siri is?
