She had the same first name as Apple’s voice assistant. Which was triggered every time you said “Siri”.

She ended up making a radical decision: changing her first name. Named Siri Price, a young 26-year-old Scottish woman could no longer bear the same first name as Apple’s voice assistant launched in 2011.

Those close to him had gotten into the habit of no longer calling out to him with “Hey Siri” (“Hi Siri” translated in France as “Hey Siri”) so as not to trigger the assistant, but the new version of iOS 17 has changed the situation. Now, a simple “Siri” is enough to wake up the voice assistant.

“Now people can’t even pronounce my name”

“Now people can’t even pronounce my first name,” laments Siri Price. “My boyfriend installed the new update the other day and noticed it was triggering his phone every time he talked to me », she explains to Sun.

Despite herself, the young coach decided to call herself “Siz”.
