> I can say “Hey Siri” and pretty much set any sort of reminder, alarm, and a dozen other things without needing to watch a nearly hour long video

I appreciate what you’re saying, but on the other hand, last time I checked Siri could only set one timer at a time.

I am pretty sure that in the real world a single timer at a time covers about 99%+ of the “timer” use cases. Besides I can set reminders to essentially act as a timer if I really wanted more than one.

But it’s certainly good to know that there is a wonderfully complex app out there with 32 years of development behind it that I can rely upon if I ever really need two timers and want to irritate a developer by running it on a platform they don’t approve of…
