I’ll never forget; 2014, iOS 8 had just come along with some huge advances in Siri. I’m driving across West London to pick up my wife, who’s just text me about something. I figured I’d reply by dictating the message to Siri.

After five attempts and absolutely zero success, I just pulled over and tapped out a text.

Apart from setting the odd timer, I don’t think I ever used Siri again after that. Not on purpose, any way.
