- What they asked or tried
- I have been watching Apple events for over twenty-five years — in person, and on Apple's own screens. I would block out my work schedule for them, and sometimes watch with my staff and my patients.
So I watched the WWDC keynote live, and the September event too. Then I updated my phone, and updated it to iOS 27, expecting the new Siri.
I have been buying Apple products that whole time, and lately I have been building on their platforms. I believed it the way I have believed most things Apple says it will do. - What they hoped would happen
- The idea came before the domain did. When I first heard Apple had bought Siri, the app was genuinely capable — that is what put it in my head.
I bought this domain six days after Siri reached the public, back in 2011. Not for any reason I could have explained at the time. An homage, really — to Siri, and its potential for having users grow with it.
Then it went quiet. Muffled, for years. A couple of years ago, with AI, it seemed to get its wings again, and now there is a great deal more it can do.
That is still what I was hoping for. Not a feature. Something that would keep growing alongside the people using it.
Putting siriology.com out of the closet, after nearly fifteen years, took a few days. Apparently it had been fifteen years in the making, subconsciously. - What actually happened
- Siri was still the old one.
I didn't find out why that day. The next day, going through Settings, I learned there was a waitlist. Nothing had told me — I went looking, and found it.
The Siri that has been over-promised for years is still behind the curtain.
It reminded me of standing in line to get into a club, and finding out once you were inside that the main event was still on its way.
The disappointment was the smaller part. What stayed with me was realizing there was nowhere to say anything about it — not to complain, but to tell someone who builds it what the experience had actually been. - What worked, and what would have made it better
- A way to be told plainly where things stood, and a way to answer back.
The energy of the disappointment turned very quickly into the concept for the image on the home page. After that, the rest just flowed out — like puzzle pieces showing themselves where they fit. I am curious to see what those pieces do now, as one thing: Siriology.com.
I wanted to channel that energy into something constructive and impactful. Not just for me, but for the many people who may not have had the opportunity, or the voice, to do it themselves. A sounding board for others in the Apple community, made in a mindful way, because the world needs that now more than ever.
We are living in a world where human connection is being tested in so many ways. This was my contribution to making Apple human again — the soul and the heart that have been missing for a while now.
This has been a true passion project, as a Crazy One. I have done my part in trying not only to Think Different, but to Do Different and Be Different — in the true sense.
At least my version of Apple.
Dedicated to The Original Think Different.

Why share your experience?
Because you’ve been part of this story all along.
Apple didn’t become Apple on its own. Its story includes the people who brought the first computer home, wrote the apps, recommended it to friends, and stayed when choosing Apple wasn’t the obvious choice.
It includes you — whether you’ve been here for decades or are just getting started.
Apple brings the technology. You bring the life it needs to work in: the idea you’re trying to capture, the family plans you’re juggling, the small task standing between you and something that matters.
Sometimes those worlds meet beautifully. Sometimes they don’t. Both experiences are worth sharing.
And it doesn’t have to be about Siri. Apple Intelligence, a Mac, the App Store, the Watch — anything Apple makes belongs here. Siri is simply where this site started.
You don’t need technical expertise, and you don’t need a solution. Share what you tried, what you hoped for, and what happened. Apple knows what it built; you know what you needed. Nearly everything worth making comes from the distance between those two — and that distance is the one thing nobody inside a company can see for themselves. A gap, described well, is already half-closed.
There’s also nowhere else for this to go. A support ticket is written to be closed, so the detail gets filed down to a resolution. A post is written to be seen, so it gets sharpened until it performs. A survey can only ask what someone already thought to ask. Between the ticket that wants to end and the post that wants applause, the ordinary truth of living with something goes unrecorded.
So there’s no rating here, no upvotes, and no audience watching while you type. The same simple questions help us learn across very different experiences. A pattern may emerge. A useful discovery may travel. Someone may finally find the words for a frustration they thought was theirs alone.
That is why Siriology.com exists: to connect what people experience with what we can make better, together.
We can love the ambition and question the experience. We can ask for clearer promises and celebrate real progress. There is room for honesty and hope in the same relationship.
Your experience doesn’t have to speak for everyone to mean something to someone.
We’re all growing, together.
