Almost 15 years have passed since Apple presented Siri with the iPhone 4s as the virtual assistant who would revolutionize interaction with our devices. But in 2025, far from being a reliable and intelligent tool, Siri continues to stumble with basic questions, leaving the enormous shortcomings that drags since its launch.
The disappointment among users is still growing, and more and more are those who wonder if Apple really has a plan to improve your voice assistant or if you have already lost it. Recall that in recent weeks the delay of its advanced functions has been announced, so it will remain stagnant for the moment.
What fails Siri
The last shameful episode that has lit the networks has been starred by a Reddit user, who shared his frustrating experience to the Ask Siri What month are we. To his surprise, the assistant not only did not know how to answer, but said he did not understand the question. The publication did not take long to viralize, with dozens of comments from other users sharing similar examples of absurd responses, incomplete or totally wrong. The worrying thing about this problem is that we are in 2025, in the middle of the artificial intelligence and Siri continues to look like a totally incapable assistant.
While competition, such as Google Assistant or Alexa, have evolved significantly, offering more precise answers and a more natural interaction, Siri seems to have been trapped in the past. Instead of improving its capacity for understanding and response, the Apple assistant continues to fail in such basic tasks as establishing reminders correctly, understanding simple questions or even answering with updated information. The general sensation among users is that, instead of being a useful ally, Siri has become a useless function.
Apple has promised in multiple occasions improvements for its voice assistant, but the results show that the deadlines or announced have been met. In the WWDC last year, the company presented a Most custom version of Siriwith improved abilities thanks to artificial intelligence, but recently it was confirmed that its launch will be delayed because new functions are not yet polished. It happens again: Apple announces great advances, generates expectations and then delays them or throws them with limitations.
Apple needs to improve Siri right now
The worrying thing is not only the delay of the new functions, but the current Siri still does not be good enough. Before focusing on adding advanced characteristics, Apple should solve the basic problems that Siri has made one of the most criticized tools of its ecosystem. The lack of significant improvements in more than a decade has caused many users to simply stop using it, opting to write their hand queries or resort to other more efficient assistants.
Today, asking Siri for something is still a bet that you probably lose. You can answer correctly, but you can also offer an absurd response or, worse, say that Does not understand the questionand this, in 2025, is unjustifiable.
Apple has a serious problem with your voice assistant and users know it. If the company really wants Siri to have a relevant role in the future of its ecosystem, it needs a radical transformation and not simple patches.
