Of course I do. It's a feature for people who want user interface elements announced audibly. > With Siri disabled, > press and hold the home button. Why would I bother holding the Home button if I've disabled Siri? I don't see any need for holding it down since that's how you invoke Siri, which is disabled. > It makes a "pong!" sound and the > goddamn thing talks to you because it thinks it's an iPod.

Bad network connectivity is definitely a problem. Glad I don't have it. If I were living off the grid I'd have *some* sort of connectivity. And I suppose if not, I'd disable Siri (and refrain from holding down the Home button). > Suggestions for putting a bug in Apple's ear?

Every little bit helps. I'm liking iOS 10, overall. Though there are things I dislike. AirPlay seems to only offer mirroring on my iPhone 5 now, which makes playing content on my Apple TV choppy and more problematic than normal. And a couple apps I use obviously need a round of bug fixes. : ( -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.
