If Siri is better than Google Assistant these days… that says more about how bad GA is, not how good Siri is. I say this as an owner of two HomePod Minis


Siri is good enough to get by, but is definitely not better than Google in my opinion (and several friends that have both Google Nest and Apple HomePod devices).

Siri is sorry she can't help, misunderstands things, or straight up ignores requests way too often.

I will say that the non-display Google devices are often more helpful than the ones with displays. The displays want to show you stuff, but the non-displays will tend to give you an answer.

e.g. "what time does walmart close" will respond with "there are several stores in your area" and then show you a list of stores with their hours, but the non-display devices will just reference the closest store and tell you when it closes.


I’ve had the Google assistant for a long time now, and it went from almost always having an answer to “sorry, I don’t understand ” or whatever the default is 30% of the time


I found this on the web for you
