| Correct, it's not faster. Now it's slower to the point you aren't sure if it's ever going to work, then it comes back with some error. Sure, it stopped being quite a stupid as before but it's not the nirvana they were promising, checks notes, 3+ years ago. So it doesn't have the same issues as old Siri, just new issues. |

| ▲ | edot 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yes, it’s insanely slow now. So bad, I unenrolled from the beta. I mostly use Siri for reminders and alarms and somehow it was spending upwards of 5 seconds on the new Siri AI to do these tasks. Unusable. | | |
| ▲ | joshstrange an hour ago | parent [-] | | > I mostly use Siri for reminders and alarms Ahh yes, the only 2 things I can trust it for. The same tasks that now take longer and fail more often. I guess it understands me a little better but it's been rough. Also I see they left in the fun bugs of: Me: "Siri, set a reminder for 1pm for XYZ" Siri: .... Siri: .... Siri: .... iPhone: No indication of anything done or Siri still waiting, looks like it just gave up Me: "Siri, set a reminder for 1pm for XYZ" Siri: .... Siri: .... Siri: .... Siri: .... Siri: .... Siri: "Ok, I've set your reminder" _1 pm rolls around_ 2 reminders fire... |

| so responses like "I've turned on the lights", but you're still standing in the dark. That's my anecdotal level of interactions with any Gemini model. |

| It's still unbelievably limited and lackluster |

| I wonder if they use Gemini how can the promise "Private for all" be fulfilled? Local model like gemma4? |
| |
| ▲ | avree 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Because they don't "use Gemini". "These new capabilities are powered by the next generation of Apple Foundation Models, custom-built in collaboration with Google and its Gemini models for deeply integrated Apple Intelligence experiences. " |

| Gemini backed Siri sucks too though. The frequency in which it just.. does nothing, is crazy. Joke still works. |

| ▲ | macintux 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yep, I really wish I could revert to previous-Siri on my iPhone 15 Pro. Old Siri was reasonably predictable and faster. New Siri is slower, more ambitious, and fails more often. | | |
| ▲ | deinonychus 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | you can. i just did it on my 17 pro and my watch. i get instant timers again. it's unreal we lost this technology. go to settings > siri > and turn off siri entirely. it doesn't break anything. then turn it back on, and they give you the option for siri AI or old dumb siri. enjoy :) | | |

| Gemini can be pretty bad on my Pixel phone and Nest speakers. |
