And one reason only. Siri can’t suck enough. I asked my wife my kids other family members and several friends is it hard for them to understand what I say? They all tell me I speak fine. No accent, southern drawl, nothing. Siri NEVER gets right anything I say......EVER. I literally have to correct everything I say every time. Every sentence has a wrong word. In order for it to work I have to say each word succinctly and pause at least a second or two before saying the next word and even then that’s iffy.
I don’t have this issue with the voice recognition on any google applications such as maps, assistant or Amazon’s Alexa. Siri is terrible and totally useless.

I've had an iPhone for years and have maybe used Siri twice.

When that happens, I guess you just have to type it in like some kind of caveman

Apple is in a tight spot. They compete in pretty much every area except for Siri/Apple Maps.

Google Assistant/Now/whatever and Google Maps absolutely pummels the shite out of the Apple equivalents.

It's hilarious that Apple is now spending like a billion dollars redoing Apple Maps when perfection (Google Maps) already exists.

Siri understands me perfectly. This is my first iPhone and my only complaint is I’m constantly having to close and reopen apps to get them to run properly.

Switch her to Australian. She understands Cajun and redneck.
