(View all)Do they realise how stupid this is? It’s 2018! If I ask Siri whether the latest iPhone is available in the nearest Apple Store, she should know the answer without me having to first program Siri to understand me.
I’m not saying I dislike Shortcuts, it has its purpose for pro users wanting more complex routines, but this is ridiculous.
It’s the responsibility of Apple, not its users, to improve Siri.
