One of the issues I commonly have with my iPhone 16 Pro occurs when asking Siri to play a song while I’m driving. I download almost all of my music, so routinely the song I’m asking her to play is already downloaded locally. However, if I’m in an area with poor cellular she is typically unable to process the request. My question is: since Siri is partially stored locally on the new iPhone 18 and is supposed to have local computing capabilities, for a request like that would she be able to complete it without internet connection since the search and play functions for downloaded music are doable without internet to the user? If anyone knows based on technical data or by testing it on their own iPhone 18 I would appreciate it!
I should clarify I’m specifically curious about this working with Apple Music, but I would also be interested if anyone has insight to how it would work with songs purchased and downloaded from iTunes aswell. :)
