Ms. 85 tabs open, yes we know you have a screen addiction. 😅
Wow, Bridget is sticking to her guns and using the most robotic Siri voice possible! Definitely not a chance of Siri complimenting any leather jacket she’s wearing! Always love this segment!
TLDR: Use Apple Default apps for best Siri AI experience (at least til 3rd party API’s get updated) Love ya Bridgit!
I’m obsessed with new siri. I wish i could use it with my work email and teams
This is very encouraging. I may need to upgrade my iPhone sooner than I thought (to run the Siri AI).
I’m going to forget all these when the official update is rolled out, and even forget that I’ve bookmarked this video. Bridget, please just put out a new video when the iOS 27 is released.
Wait until you start getting charged for using Siri too much.
Can you do a video on transitioning from Google Maps to Apple Maps. I totally agree, Apple Maps is way better, but 10 years of my life is in Google Maps like stored locations. And I still find the Google reviews to be extremely helpful, not sure I trust Yelp reviews as much yet.
The ability to set or modify a route in Maps while driving is a MAJOR safety upgrade. Hopefully, it will be able to do other related stuff on the fly, like find cheap gas along one's route, place a pickup order at a fast-food restaurant along the route, or auto-answer text messages from friends and update your ETA when they ask while you're driving.
Hopefully it will stay that way
Never in my entire life my dentist sent me an iMessage! Sad story, I’m not from US. 4:59
And you can share your route in Maps. Select and type in a route and start it and swipe up from the buttom and press 'share arrival' and pick the person you want to share it with. They'll get a notification that takes them straight into Maps. Maybe they have to press something when they open Maps but it should be right there in the beginning.
Apple Maps needs to add the current speed limit AND current speed of vehicle (optional) just like Google Maps, on all the time...then it will be better.
So she's excited for pixel 5years ago
I just switched back to iPhone after about 6-7years using android, and I can say for sure, Google Maps is waaaaay better than Apple Maps!! So no thank you to using Apple Maps
Very helpful, thanx!!
One thing I haven’t heard anybody say in their reviews so far is whether or not Siri AI understands what you’re saying the first time.
I'm in europe so no AI slop on iphone for me 🤷♂
Tell me that you have never used Gemini without telling me that you have never used it. We all knew that you were a sheeple but now you’re almost cute. 😂
Or you can just glance at your Apple Watch and see your apple calendar there. Look I can simplify things too! 3:44
