From going to Instagram to boast about your illegal gun business to leaving a taunt on a police department’s Facebook page, there is no shortage of stupid criminals. While murder suspect Pedro Bravo didn’t turn to social media, he still reached high levels of stupidity when he asked Siri on advice as to how to hide a body, reports KIRO TV.

Bravo is accused of killing his roommate, Christian Aguilar, back in 2012. According to prosecutors, Bravo asked Siri “I need to hide my roommate.” Records also showed that Bravo used the LED light on the iPhone nine times in 48 minutes during the night of the murder, with location data from the iPhone not matching where Bravo claimed to be that night.

In the past, if you asked Siri where’s a good place to hide a body, Siri would answer by asking, “What kind of place are you looking for? Swamps. Reservoirs. Metal foundries. Dumps.” Nowadays though, if you ask Siri the same question, it would answer by asking, “What, again?”

While the evidence might seem circumstantial, it certainly doesn’t bode well for Bravo. His trial is set to wrap up later this week.

iOS 18.2 may make charging your iPhone even easier. Here’s how

A close-up view of the App Library page on the iPhone 16.

We've all been in a situation where we need to charge our phone quickly, but it can be hard to gauge just how much time it needs to spend on the charger before it gets a usable amount of juice. A feature coming to iOS 18.2 will tell you how much more time your phone needs, although we aren't quite sure yet when it will be released.

On Monday, iOS 18.2 beta 2 was released to developers. 9to5Mac spotted the codebase for this feature in their breakdown, stating that it will calculate the amount of time needed to reach a certain charge threshold based on how powerful the charger is. The framework was dubbed "BatteryIntelligence" within the code, but although it was present, the feature isn't finished. That likely means it has been added in for testing purposes, but won't be ready for full deployment for some time yet.
