Then how come you don't know you don't have to unlock the iPhone to access Siri? I'm not being precise enough with my wording. My point was that you have to touch/activate the iPhone (and other Android phones as well) rather than just speak to them. I wasn't focused on the nature of "locking"/security in this example.
You call out thread members who criticize Android out of ignorance of the current capabilities. I don't think it's too much to ask for you to fact check that your own criticisms of IOS are valid. It's fair of you to ask, and while I'm not an iPhone expert, I use them for business (not personal) purposes periodically and am certainly not clueless.
The always listening feature seems interesting for a smartwatch, where you don't have much of a screen to see and you aren't likely to be muffling the phone's speaker in your pocket. I agree. The problem is that a watch, without a phone in the pocket/nearby, lacks the data connection (unless via WiFi). This takes away much of the useful functionality.
For a phone, consumers just are not finding it compelling, and I don't blame them. What % of the consumer base do you think knows it exists, let alone have tried it? On a daily basis, I have someone comment, "Wow... how did you do that?" when they overhear or see me interact with my phone. |
