Nah, a lot of Siri requests really on Apple servers to fulfill. Supposedly they have recently supported more requests types entirely on-device, but 2 years ago I lived in an apartment with an underground parking garage and I constantly has basic requests like creating timers and reminders fail due to spotty cell service.

Which iphone was it? One of the newer ones which are advertised "built for Apple Intelligence"? I'm pretty sure that's their selling point and they even have a separate chip for it, if it still needs to connect then that's pretty stupid.

Those phones weren’t sold 2 years ago.

Sooo what's the complaint? that edge AI didn't exist when it didn't exist?)

Not a complaint, just pointing that out.

I turn off the AI shit on most devices I use. Microsoft and Apple are topping my list of most hated for shovelling AI drivel my way.
