Realize Apple's weakness is in Web-based services. I have often found that Siri takes a long time to respond to a query when I make an inquiry late in the afternoon in the central time zone, which includes such cities as Chicago, Winnipeg, Dallas, and Mexico city. It is a time when also the people in the eastern time zone in the US are leaving work. Siri answers the same questions quickly a couple of hours later. Now Siri does more, generating more demand on servers along with many new iOS users. Apple is not as robust as google in having endless server and back end computing capacity.
