I think people know it exists. The problem is that it doesn't do anything remotely useful, except for the iPhone keyboard cursor thing.
> Siri (which everyone raves about but nobody uses for anything).
I use it all the time (at least once a day) to add a reminder, set a timer, set an alarm, check sports scores (I don't really follow sports, so this will probably end after the Warriors' run), call someone (I do this rarely enough that I'm incredibly slow trying to figure out the Phone/Contact apps), or do a Google search. I would love some basic improvements to Siri UI, like sending my Google search straight to google.com instead of reading my entire query back to me first.
> what the hell the volume button does in different contexts
I've never had a problem with this. Another commenter already covered it, but it's extremely predictable and fairly obvious.
> turn off buzzing and booping when I plug in a charger, and maybe some sort of wireless charging thing if the technology is where it needs to be yet
Charging cues have never bothered me in the slightest, but I see no reason not to have a setting for it. Wireless charging would be absolutely huge. It's probably my number one feature request. I'd probably pay for a brand new 6s if all they added was wireless charging. Heck, I don't even need it to be fast, just let me set my phone down at my office desk and bedside table and I'll be happy.

Again, this is something I've never even thought about, but it's hard to argue against making it optional.

That's enough for me to never want to miss 3D touch again.
>I use it all the time (at least once a day)
I use it almost daily too, you get used to that things so quickly. The thing that annoys me with Siri is that it is slow. I want to say: "Hey Siri, how is the weather today?" and not "Hey Siri" wait, wait, wait, bling, bling, wait, wait, wait, "How is the weather today?".
I don't actually use Hey Siri much, because it is so unreliable. I mostly press the home button and hold for the entire duration of my voice command (because that allows you to pause in the middle of your voice command without Siri thinking you're done speaking).
I didn't know you could do that, maybe it could be useful sometime. Currently I use Siri only when I can't use my hands to interact with the phone (cooking, clothing the child, etc.).
Can you not do that? In my experience (including a test just now), speaking that phrase in a natural cadence (no weird pauses) is recognized perfectly.
That's interesting. For me, after saying "Hey Siri" it takes maybe half a second to a second for Siri to "wake up".
I use it in German, maybe that's the difference.
Just the shortcut menu for "Take Video"/"Take Slo-Mo"/"Take Photo". Not the greatest of use cases, I'll grant you, but it does remove that small hump of "launch camera, swipe left" when you're wanting to capture something quickly.

There's no reason not to fix this.
