Siri lets you take notes, even from across the room or in the car.
The Notes app on the iPhone and iPad is a great place to jot down random thoughts, memos, and other bits of text. If your hands are full, you’re driving, or if you’re simply too lazy to type, you can use Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant, to take notes for you.
