I’m still baffled at Siri and Google assistant. Virtually zero innovation in a decade. I just want to be able to turn on BBC radio while my hands are wet, is that really so hard?!
You're in luck! Siri will do that right now. Just tried it. Works.
Knowing Apple, I was expecting one base timer, with every other timer being a $200 upgrade.
“How many timers can you have going at one time? […] …I had 26 timers going at once, and the only reason I didn't have more running was because I got bored.”
“Hey Siri set an egg timer for 4 minutes”
The interface for switching between multiple timers sucks on the watch, the whole app does now. I don’t know how it’s handled on HomePods, though you can see them somewhere in the home app (yeah that’s discoverable).
But it works fine. And the interface is good on the phone.
