> When You Make Requests, Siri Sends Certain Data About You to Apple to Process and Help Respond to Your Requests

I noticed that when I drove out of cell reception range and Siri's speech recognition stopped working and I couldn't request an album from my music library; it's a cruel mockery of whatever "Neural Engine" chip they boast about being on the handset when they offload the work to the cloud somewhere.

And the options is to "disable Siri" and not "disable sending data to remote servers and save there", right?
It doesn’t always seem consistent. I’ve noticed Siri Dictation will work but other things without a connection are hit or miss.
