After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.

I can’t say I disagree here but I’m sure Apple does that intentionally. There’s a little war going on right now between different digital assistants and having them speak to users as if they are real people living inside of our devices tricks our brains into developing more of a connection to them.
In other words, it’s all a mind game.![]()
This seems like an extremely bad reason to me... would Apple really want to discourage people from using Siri? Maybe the cloud computing behind it is getting too expensive for them to maintain.
you mean when you ask Siri a question, and you dont want Siri to answer over the speaker? How else would you hear it?
I would ask this question: How does Siri work for the hearing impaired? My Dad is hard of hearing and if he were using my iPad he would be able to ask the verbal question of Siri but unable to hear a response.
Siri doesn’t just reply with an answer by voice, it answers with text inline to your question.

If you turn down your volume level, you won’t hear a thing.
