Can't trust this: Inconsistencies shake faith in Apple
When it comes to Apple, I’m a pretty trusting guy. I trust that Apple will protect my data the best that it can. I trust that Apple will continue to release new iPhones, iPads, and Macs every year. I trust that the company won’t suddenly turn into an evil conglomerate bent on world destruction.
But in day-to-day practical terms, there are several important ways in which I don’t trust Apple. Given how much I rely on the company, that’s a problem.
Speechless Siri
I can’t trust Siri. No one loves Siri more than I do—or at least more than I used to. The problem is that these days using Siri has started to feel like being a contestant on Press Your Luck. Sometimes, my reminders are saved near instantly, my iMessages composed and sent as fast as I can speak. That’s wonderful—it’s delightful technology at its best.
Other times, though, I get that Siri response that makes me want to smash my iPhone’s delicate screen against the nearest available hard surface: “I’m really sorry about this, but I can’t take any requests right now.” Siri, like so much in life, is good only when it actually does what it’s supposed to.
