Is anyone else an avid iPhone user, yet also someone who never uses Siri? I've used an iPhone exclusively for the past 8 years, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've used Siri. Interestingly, the one person I know who loves using Siri is my 70yr old dad.

Man, I used to love using Siri, until I had a daughter and named her "Sarah" big mistake. Turns out I say "Hey Sarah" a hundred times a day, and all my iDevices pipe up and simultaneously say "Yeah?" "WHAT'S UP" "HEY OVER HERE" "Hi it's me Siri what do you need?"
Why did you pick 'Sarah'

Yes, the question is how to permanently restrict the attack surface / time windows for audio and video surveillance attacks.
Instead of Bluetooth defaulting to on, and re-enabling itself next day if you turn it off from the control center, I'd like for Bluetooth to default to off. You'd have to enable it from the control center, and it would disable itself after a certain period of inactivity. I suppose that won't happen, as it would wreck the Find My network if it depends solely on Bluetooth.

> Find out how much the vuln is worth in the black market, then ask Apple double that. Well, because he is not a corporation, he will get jumped on by lawyers and will go to jail for blackmailing Apple.
Blackmailing? It's called negotiating from a strong position.

I try to use Siri for the same things, but she suuuuuuucks. If I ask her to play a song, 9 out of 10 times it will do something idiotic- like I say "hey siri play tears in heaven on spotify", she might reply "now playing tears in heaven by a shitty kazoo cover band". If I say "navigate to the closest olive garden", it would say "navigating to olive garden corporate headquarters, estimated travel time 43 hours 12 minutes." But never mind, I can see the olive garden I was looking for, it's at the end of the street I'm on.
These are artificial examples because I can't remember specifics right now, but trust me - the real examples were just as dumb.
She's great at setting timers or alarms though! And I can reliably use her to pause, skip, or adjust volume when I'm showering or something.
I think they burried the lede here. Conversations with Siri are probably pretty generic but being able to evesdrop on keyboard dictation is pretty severe. I know people that use dictation for the majority of their text messages and email.
How many people use diction? I'm surprised cause I know virtually no one who uses diction, myself included.
Don't forget that iOS and macOS silently re-enable Bluetooth on every software update. https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/bluetooth.html
Even worse, Control Panel buttons only "suspend" BT/WiFi, you have to go into Settings to turn them off again ... and again ... and again.
