"in the US" :(

We also still are waiting, for 10+ years for Siri in european languages. We have a lot of users e.g. in Poland, we can dictate in polish, but Siri still can't call a contact, because she doesn't understand names...

Tip: you can add a 'Phonetic' name to a contact, and Siri will try to use it.

So you can do stuff like:

Mieczysława -> Mee-etchiss-wahva Krzysztof -> Kzhyshtof Świętopełk -> Shvee-entoh-pehwk

It's still a bit hit and miss, but works quite well with diminutives:

Mieczysława -> Mietka -> Mee-etka Krzysztof -> Krzysz -> Kzhysh Świętopełk -> Świętuś -> Shvientush

There are about 150.7 million active iPhones in thr US

So, you are getting $1.66 back.

People who submit qualifying claims can receive $25 for each eligible device, “which may decrease or increase up to $95 per device, depending on claim volume and other factors,”

It’s for the iPhone 15 pro and 16 lineup
