This statement, wholly false, was made by the architect and head of the biggest launch disaster in Apple history, Apple Maps. In reality Siri worked great at launch but, like any new platform under unexpectedly massive load, required scaling adjustments and 24 hour workdays.

Dag, indeed. I can also attest to Siri working fine. I got to see it in pre launch and there was no such issues.

Thanks Brian. Siri wasn’t perfect but it was the first of its kind and set a completely new bar for conversational assistants that, ten years later, every top tech company is attempting to replicate and dominate.

Dag, exactly. Created a new continent. It is just hard to see history revised and all the great work your team did on Siri get tossed under the bus with the current issues Siri has.
