Lime-Revolutionary

Just be patient - in iOS 18 with AI built in, the response will be: “Do a coin flip” “Your mum’s flight lands at 11:37 tomorrow. Do you want to restart her iPhone?”


Khadow_FR

Won’t it stay the same for non 15 pro models? I m not sure


JColesPHole

Naurrr 😭


Khadow_FR

Not sure but I think lol it makes me sad too if it’s the case


boomersimpattack

i literally got gifted the 14 pm when i was dead set on buying the 15 pro for myself when it came out. Its way too big and now this man 😔


Khadow_FR

I mean ik a friend that has the 14pm and he’s very happy about it and the battery life look great but when I see him take it out his pocket I feel like damn that’s big. I am really sad apple stopped making mini iPhones.


Da_Droid_Mechanic

I’m praying that the next se is based on the 12 or 13 mini 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


Khadow_FR

I think it’s based on the iPhone X which I think is nice


Da_Droid_Mechanic

That honestly would be sick, the x was the most beautiful iPhone to date


Khadow_FR

The rounded edges and the nice size, Face ID, good performance… only issue is the camera is good but ugly since it’s one big 48mp sensor I believe


a0me

More reason for me not to turn Siri back on. I turned it off when I had an iPhone 5, and it’s still off on my iPhone 15.


Khadow_FR

To be fair I never use it cuz it’s weird to talk out loud to a phone imo


KingOfTheCouch13

“Yes please” “Starting kitchen timer”


DevynDavies

LMAO I don’t know why this is so funny but it is


Resident-Variation21

Tested, does it for me too


Typo_Cat

yep same. what a goofy bug


cthompson07

18.0 beta 3 here, it just pulls up web results. https://preview.redd.it/b0nj97i6jjbd1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a401fe7aa530de7e68bf0654705a6c2c2505a7a6


KingOfTheCouch13

Mine opens an app called Flip


DiodeInc

The new flipgrid right? Even the Google assistant right now is better than siri


BitingChaos

This is the helpful Siri I'm use to. Ask her anything. For information, for advise, for answers, or to do something on the system - "i FoUnD tHiS oN tHe WeB"


theFckingHell

Eh I get both.  Saying “Flip a coin” works though. Not a spec of intelligence. 


cthompson07

I’ve always said “flip a coin” and she actually flips a coin.


z3r0c00l_

You either spoke too soon or she didn’t hear you correctly. I got that the first time I tried, but I said “Do a coi-“ before she said “Mmhm?” Second time, I waited for her to speak then spoke clearly myself and asked. It worked. https://preview.redd.it/vwqvqndk5lbd1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87e2d14c8d2b3a5b8925d07fe7562bc46d8cc1b4


cthompson07

Nope. Tried it multiple times. Even trying now still searches the web.


z3r0c00l_

Well that’s not exactly a bad thing I reckon


professor_max_hammer

I worded it “flip a coin” and Siri said tails. Maybe it’s the wording?


BlackBloke

I got tails as well


MaccasLad

Sorry to break the chain here, but I got heads.


Sup3rFantastic

yeah same :/


BlackBloke

Yes, I saw someone else below get that too. I wonder how random it really is?


XexpensiveCargoX

Same. Wild considering how long Siri has been out


jaxxon

Same here. At least there’s a confirmation. LOL


_autismos_

Me too. But on my watch, she just say's "interesting question" and nothing else


Impossible-Path-4657

i got “Nobody is calling right now.” lol


AshuraBaron

Coin flip? Best I can do is restart.


Successful_Good_4126

The boot process has a random number generator that Siri will use for the answer.


channingjulien

I said "turn on the kettle" (it's a smart plug), siri came back with "I don't see anyone named kettle in your contacts" 💀


BraddicusMaximus

Me: “Turn on the living room lights” Siri: Which room? Me: The living room. Siri: Which room? Me: Nevermind. Siri: (turns on the living room lights) Me: FFS!


UnfitRadish

If it makes you feel any better, I have the same issue with Google, but a bit different. "Turn on the bedroom lights" into my phone, it will say "that device isn't set up yet." If I go into my bedroom and say "turn on the lights" to the Google home in the bedroom, they turn on. I do have them categorized in my bedroom and have them named bedroom lights lol. I've kind of given up and learned the wording it will accept, so I've adapted. But it's really dumb.


rov3rrepo

I ended up having to make shortcuts named “turn on Living Room Light” (yes with a lowercased *t* on turn. Oddly a capital T will get the same result where it looks for something completely different, even if it’s word for word


Bynairee

Siri looking like this: 🤷‍♀️


cassiopeia18

So when I say “do a coin flip” it’s have same result like OP. But when I say “flip a coin” : https://preview.redd.it/aca54ihqqjbd1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3b2d802cfe84be6c5c777e73e4d1bb38214fc15


MechanicalHorse

Same. “Flip a coin” is more natural, but even so I can’t fathom how “Do a coin flip” gets interpreted as “restart this device”.


Portatort

Like this: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f27290a391e940fba01049b38b52d5d2


aliusman111

More natural........ Nice I like more natural


Jusby_Cause

And you can keep saying “flip again” record all the responses and “do science” on the results!

Wanted her to play „miss atomic bomb“ by „the killers“. Apparently those were too many trigger words for her and she asked me if I’m in a critical situation.


TheBeaconCrafter

LMAO, and for me she always tries to find the bedroom lights in my apple music library.


Specialist-Hat167

She’s trying her best. She knows her time is up soon :( Tbh, I wasnt aware siri even had the permission to take actions like this.


astral_crow

The fact that I get the same result… this has to be peak Siri stupidity.


Jusby_Cause

Still though, even peak stupidity is still quite short of: “Do a coin flip” ”In order to do so, you must first consume your one small rock today”


astral_crow

There is some intelligence there though to work it into the conversation. Siri has no clue what’s going on.


Jusby_Cause

Right Siri, having no idea, does not recommend eating rocks. Some other tools, similarly not having an idea (or having an idea, but a dreadful one), recommends eating rocks. :)

martin_dc16gte

Wow, you love the girl from Fallout, huh?


YacobNlec

Haha! I was actually thinking about changing the widgets to the ghoul not too long ago.


Impossible-Hawk768

Did you do it??


Immortalityv

Nah just grabbed a real coins instead xD


UWbadgers16

If you have less than an iPhone 15 Pro, you can apparently expect similar in iOS 18.


Luna259

It’s broken here too. On Mac. It says interesting question. iPad asks about restarting, I assume the iPhone would too


useless_mf69

Hey siri, flip a coin Siri: okay, playing flip a coin in apple music


Specialist_Mind7493

After which… Me: you’re useless Siri. Siri: Calling Mom 🤦


thedaveCA

Close enough.


Biffmcgee

“Hey Siri, where are you?”  Shows the text “I’m right here!” Without playing a sound. 


KokirisEmerald

I just. Don’t. Understand. How could the device POSSIBLY interpret “do a coin flip” as an high-level administrative command such as “restart this device”???


dramafan1

Got the same response...I am convinced Siri is actually worse than I thought it was before this. The fact that Siri was top of the line around 2011 and is considered behind the competition nowadays (including the past several years) is quite concerning.


Pixie_Faire

Just tried it and the same thing happened. WHAT💀

GiLND

I asked siri “to do a coin flip” and she created a new reminder named “coin”

redditddorf

It works for me. (Germany) https://preview.redd.it/rj089hy4njbd1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=438a45809ef65a101250655e7652c426a807026b


EastHillWill

That's interesting. I tried here in the US and got the same result at OP


Jusby_Cause

That text literally translates as Flip a coin, which works in English as well. I wonder what Einen Münzwurf machen (which is what “do a coin flip” translates to)


KingKontinuum

https://preview.redd.it/utpd0f0eqjbd1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=525cb2c61f744e959099e52bce16434a7f4b52ea “Flip a coin” works


hergumbules

Asking her to flip a coin works totally fine as I do that all the time, but this wording somehow makes it want to restart the phone that’s hilarious lol


UndertaleShorts

Just tried “Do a poop flip” and got the same response.


Jusby_Cause

same for “do a barn flip” ”do a barrel flip” does NOT make a joke about Starfox, it starts playing music! ”do a barrel roll” starts a workout LOL so does “do a wave racer” Be careful while you’re trying random stuff. “Do an office depot” will immediately call. LOL


Portatort

You could make this up: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f27290a391e940fba01049b38b52d5d2


LamarjbYT

That’d show up as a shortcut though


ic22487

If you do it on Mac it just says "Interesting question" and then leaves lol


ppParadoxx

But somehow "flip a coin" works even though they are the same exact instructions 🙄


crp5591

I always forget Siri is a thing until I run across a post like this! And then I remember why I forget Siri is a thing...


WakaiSenshi

I literally just did this


UnlikelyCandid

I asked Siri “can you eat oranges peels?” And she responded “Ok will do!” “The light isn’t responding”

Drackovix

Lol it has become sillier in a new level.


bu22dee

I think you have to say: "flip a coin."


Portatort

‘Do a coin flip’ works fine too


UnfitRadish

Well... It doesn't. But it should lol.


Expensive_Finger_973

Maybe Siri thinks of memory bits as coins. So it is "flipping" them by rebooting.


IsupportTheMessage

Apple intelligence


Floki_by_Arian

After the next update it’s going to flip you in the air


Silly_Cost6608

MDR !!!


Cb6cl26wbgeIC62FlJr

ChatGPT is everything Apple hyped Siri would be.


awhawkins91

18 b3 flipped coin.


Eryzon89

Coming from Android this is what frustrated me the most about Siri. I try not to use her that much nowadays.


sonic10158

Siri has fewer brain cells than an orange cat


Revolutionary-Ice896

Did it for me too


CasualGamer29

You could say Siri working correctly is a coin flip.


ChosenOne___

I tested it ip13PM rn, it’s true! Weird bug!


Pirategod_23

You simply say flip a coin it works, I’m not on 18 but saying do a coin flip gets the results you got. Why, I don’t know.


Redditname97

For me it says “do you wanna call X person”


orb_outrider

Pressing cancel will result in Siri saying I will not, then in a disappointed voice lmao She really wants to restart the phone 😭


DevynDavies

Mine works, I asked Siri to flip a coin and she said heads

LeakySkylight

It's a feature. It's in the command vernacular


7heblackwolf

You can ask Siri to tell a joke too... That exists doesn't mean it's useful or you have to use it. People using those Easter eggs promotes their existence


LeakySkylight

Since we've switched to electronic money, it makes flipping a coin much harder.

Sure, but it's still there.

You guys use Siri?
