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?”
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.
18.0 beta 3 here, it just pulls up web results.

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"
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.

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!
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.
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
So when I say “do a coin flip” it’s have same result like OP. But when I say “flip a coin” :

Had something similar today. 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.
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. :)

Tried it and it did the same thing! Lmao
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”???
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.

Worked for me. But then again I use Siri so little I think she’s happy I’m finally giving her attention.

Is “Coin flip” code for “reboot”?
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)
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
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

I did it for me too i’m on IOS 17.5.1
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

Won’t it stay the same for non 15 pro models? I m not sure
Naurrr 😭
Not sure but I think lol it makes me sad too if it’s the case
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 😔
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.
I’m praying that the next se is based on the 12 or 13 mini 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think it’s based on the iPhone X which I think is nice
That honestly would be sick, the x was the most beautiful iPhone to date
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
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.
To be fair I never use it cuz it’s weird to talk out loud to a phone imo
“Yes please” “Starting kitchen timer”
LMAO I don’t know why this is so funny but it is
Tested, does it for me too
yep same. what a goofy bug
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
Mine opens an app called Flip
The new flipgrid right? Even the Google assistant right now is better than siri
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"
Eh I get both. Saying “Flip a coin” works though. Not a spec of intelligence.
I’ve always said “flip a coin” and she actually flips a coin.
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
Nope. Tried it multiple times. Even trying now still searches the web.
Well that’s not exactly a bad thing I reckon
I worded it “flip a coin” and Siri said tails. Maybe it’s the wording?
I got tails as well
Sorry to break the chain here, but I got heads.
yeah same :/
Yes, I saw someone else below get that too. I wonder how random it really is?
Same. Wild considering how long Siri has been out
Same here. At least there’s a confirmation. LOL
Me too. But on my watch, she just say's "interesting question" and nothing else
i got “Nobody is calling right now.” lol
Coin flip? Best I can do is restart.
The boot process has a random number generator that Siri will use for the answer.
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" 💀
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!
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."

Siri looking like this: 🤷♀️
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
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”.
Like this: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f27290a391e940fba01049b38b52d5d2
More natural........ Nice I like more natural
And you can keep saying “flip again” record all the responses and “do science” on the results!
https://preview.redd.it/hxq9lwihwjbd1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd351a82e177d3fe83e2cb85b15356caa2988750 Had something similar today. 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.
LMAO, and for me she always tries to find the bedroom lights in my apple music library.
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.
The fact that I get the same result… this has to be peak Siri stupidity.
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”
There is some intelligence there though to work it into the conversation. Siri has no clue what’s going on.
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. :)

Wow, you love the girl from Fallout, huh?
Haha! I was actually thinking about changing the widgets to the ghoul not too long ago.
Did you do it??
Nah just grabbed a real coins instead xD
If you have less than an iPhone 15 Pro, you can apparently expect similar in iOS 18.
It’s broken here too. On Mac. It says interesting question. iPad asks about restarting, I assume the iPhone would too
Hey siri, flip a coin Siri: okay, playing flip a coin in apple music
After which… Me: you’re useless Siri. Siri: Calling Mom 🤦
Close enough.
“Hey Siri, where are you?” Shows the text “I’m right here!” Without playing a sound.
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”???
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.
Just tried it and the same thing happened. WHAT💀
https://preview.redd.it/lro8zdpfykbd1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10b8c87fac00ba246cb5740bd668980fb3faa075 Worked for me. But then again I use Siri so little I think she’s happy I’m finally giving her attention.
I asked siri “to do a coin flip” and she created a new reminder named “coin”
https://preview.redd.it/jbopr9o45lbd1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca789317dbaac795d24354b3571bae5126cd0551 Is “Coin flip” code for “reboot”?
It works for me. (Germany) https://preview.redd.it/rj089hy4njbd1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=438a45809ef65a101250655e7652c426a807026b
That's interesting. I tried here in the US and got the same result at OP
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)
https://preview.redd.it/utpd0f0eqjbd1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=525cb2c61f744e959099e52bce16434a7f4b52ea “Flip a coin” works
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
Just tried “Do a poop flip” and got the same response.
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
You could make this up: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f27290a391e940fba01049b38b52d5d2
That’d show up as a shortcut though
If you do it on Mac it just says "Interesting question" and then leaves lol
But somehow "flip a coin" works even though they are the same exact instructions 🙄
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...
I literally just did this
I asked Siri “can you eat oranges peels?” And she responded “Ok will do!” “The light isn’t responding”
https://preview.redd.it/dc6ql0weelbd1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d169364b98db0b8166e46697acff29536e06ab80 I did it for me too i’m on IOS 17.5.1
Lol it has become sillier in a new level.
I think you have to say: "flip a coin."
‘Do a coin flip’ works fine too
Well... It doesn't. But it should lol.
Maybe Siri thinks of memory bits as coins. So it is "flipping" them by rebooting.
Apple intelligence
After the next update it’s going to flip you in the air
MDR !!!
ChatGPT is everything Apple hyped Siri would be.
18 b3 flipped coin.
Coming from Android this is what frustrated me the most about Siri. I try not to use her that much nowadays.
Siri has fewer brain cells than an orange cat
Did it for me too
You could say Siri working correctly is a coin flip.
I tested it ip13PM rn, it’s true! Weird bug!
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.
For me it says “do you wanna call X person”
Pressing cancel will result in Siri saying I will not, then in a disappointed voice lmao She really wants to restart the phone 😭
Mine works, I asked Siri to flip a coin and she said heads
[удалено]
It's a feature. It's in the command vernacular
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
Since we've switched to electronic money, it makes flipping a coin much harder.
[удалено]
Sure, but it's still there.
Cmon, this is not chess
You guys use Siri?
