An Apple fan has discovered that Siri in iOS 7 can take all-new commands, including one where you can actually specify how bright you want your screen to be at a certain given time.

MacDailyNews reader Dino Moshova writes in with some cool iOS 7 tips he claims he hasn’t seen or heard of before, such as: ”Show me available Wi-Fi networks; ” “Make the screen 10% darker;” “Turn airplane mode on;” or “Turn off cellular data.”

The brightness trick is really handy, as I’m sure many of you will agree. It appears Apple has taken some users’ demands quite seriously when developing iOS 7, as the brightness toggle can also be found in Control Center (just a finger swipe away from your Home screen).

As confirmed by Apple itself during the beta days of Siri, the service constantly learns how to improve itself based on user input. Which is why I solemnly believe Skynet was a pretty accurate glimpse at our future.
