> siri was (still is?) shockingly inept when it specifically came to setting multiple timers, adjusting timer duration, cancelling timers, etc

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this Apple AI leap will bring us a less stupid Homepod Mini so I can throw away my Alexas. It's almost 4 years old with zero refreshes, still running on the S5 chip from Apple Watch 5.

The only things we use our Alexas are pretty much: turn on/off lights in the room it's in, ask for the weather and timers. Homepods can do the first two, but the timers are pretty useless unless one is enough.
