Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Siri vs the Ads: Does It Hold Up?”.
Yeah, what’s up guys, I’m Kim PhD here and you might have seen earlier today, I tweeted Apple released this adventure, video with the rock featuring Siri. So naturally that got me to click it. I mean it’s a movie featuring Siri. What could possibly go wrong, so I clicked that I watched it and it was actually pretty well done.
It was interesting, I’ll link it below if you want to watch the whole thing and of course it also got me thinking. Siri did a lot in that video and it made me wonder if Siri can actually do all of the things that the rock asked it to do in that adventure. So iOS 11 latest update build number three. I’Ve decided to see if this can actually do everything. The bass of it, I also realize that’s probably exactly what Apple wants you to do after watching this, because it’s basically an ad for Siri but hey what act? Let’S try it! Hey Siri read my schedule: you have 25 appointments at 7:15, hey Siri read my schedule. There’S nothing okay, so I don’t use Apple calendar quite as much as apparently the rock does, but if I did, they would all show up there. Just like that, hey Siri show me my life goals list I found 10 reminders. Hey Siri show me my life goals list. I found five reminders.
Okay, so this shows reminders specifically from Apple’s reminders app. So if you use the reminders app and you go in and you create a new list with a certain name, then Siri can recall anything from that list and show it to you at any time so yeah I made one called life goals and I asked it To show it – and it worked – hey Siri give me a lift ride to LAX. We can get you a lift in 60 seconds.
Okay, so I don’t have lift, but I you can get it to do the exact same thing with the uber app. This is actually one of the more recent improvements to Siri actually reaching inside supported, apps and taking action within them. Yes, what’s the temperature in Rome today, the high temperature for today in Rome will be 80 degrees and the low will be 59 degrees. This one’s pretty straightforward weather card is like the standard demo question. Of course, that works also the rock you’re literally hijacking a plane at this point during your adventure, so maybe reconsider, maybe put like a disclaimer like don’t try this at home or something like that.
Hey Siri read me my last email at 9:30 a.m. this one sent you an email about. Mr. Nakamura can discuss your fashion line, so this Siri command will not work for you if you use Gmail or a yahoo mail or any other mail service or third-party app or anything like that.
You have to use Apple Mail. If you do, then it will work. Apparently the rock also uses Apple Mail. Hey Siri show me photos of my fashion line it okasada.
What do you think it doesn’t really matter? What I think do you think? So if I ask Siri for pictures of something it’s just gon na google, it that actually it bings it it Bing searches for your photos. But if I say show me photos of my fashion line, it just shows the first Bing search results for my fashion line, which is just random clothes, but when the rock shows the phone to mr., whatever his name was it clearly is not Syria anymore. Is this all white background, so that looks like it’s in his gallery if he did all that with Syria, he’d have to say something like show me, my photos of clothes or something like that to trigger shiri, to open the gallery, so the language he uses in That clip isn’t quite Siri text Chef Ludo. I want to cook hey Siri text Wayne, nice, commercial bro.
Yes, so, yes, you can send text messages with Siri, but also not shown, as you do have to do a follow-up to make sure you actually want to send it. Hey Siri how many ounces in a centimeter one centiliter is 0.34 fluid ounces. It’S also good movie.
Joke ok, first time I heard this, I thought he was asking how many ounces in a centimeter, which obviously that’s not a thing, but what he’s asking is how many ounces in a centimeter, that’s a pretty standard conversion. Question Siri handles that. Just fine! No problem, hey see, we play my practice playlist, so this again only works with Apple music, so you can have all the Spotify and SoundCloud and title playlists you want. But if you ask Siri to play music, it will look in Apple music. So technically, this is possible again assuming the rock uses: Apple music, along with all the rest of those Apple services.
Siri, take a selfie open up cars on Eclipse, so this command actually triggers Siri opening the front-facing camera, which is pretty cool, but it doesn’t actually press the shutter button and take a selfie, though that actually has to be done with the on-screen button, which is impossible When you’re in space wearing gloves or I’m assuming what he does here, is squeeze the volume button to trigger the shutter and that actually does take a picture. The bigger problem is the caseless iPhone in space, but overall, at the end of the day, series scored pretty well actually against its ad and at the end of the day, that’s exactly what that is. This is a serie, a die. Think the main takeaway here is it’s pretty similar to those shot on iphone commercials.
Technically, yes, most of this will work, but that sequences shortened little blurb at the end is pretty important. Pretty much everything in the commercial happens instantly in real life with Siri even on the latest version of iOS 11 you’re gon na have to wait a little bit and you’re. Also gon na have to use pretty much all Apple services for Siri to talk to it. But for the most part it works, I think people might be surprised how much better Sirius gotten in the past couple months.
I’M looking forward to comparing it again with like pretty much the rest of voice assistance. Google assistant in its latest form, maybe Alexa, maybe throw in Bixby voice for fun. That could be its own separate video. In the meantime, though, that’s pretty much it thank you for watching the ROK.
If you’re watching this, if you’re one of those people watching, I heard you have a YouTube channel now, that’s pretty cool. Maybe if you want to collab on some tech related stuff that could be fun. Just let me know hit me up on FaceTime.
That’S pretty much! It talk to you guys, the next one: peace, hey Siri seriously. I want your best joke the past present and future walk into the bar. It was tense.
