“Take the flexible, rich method of conveying information, and replace it with a slower, jankier, more limited and more rigid form!”

Sounds heinous, please never design the UX for a product I’ve got to use.

Who wants to talk to an earpod in 95%+ of real world situations? I remember the original Siri ads where a guy was configuring his schedule via Siri on a run. 15 years later and most of the world still thinks you're a doofus if you're running and talking to your voice assistant. Some things will never change.

I mean, one of the last big things Jobs did was buy Siri and he reportedly saw it as the next big interaction model. Apple just messed it up by letting it get progressively worse ever since.
