I have loads of disgust feelings inside me right now. Relax… It has nothing to do with the brand new iPhone 4S. These disgust feelings have something to do with an event that has taken place in my part of the world last Saturday but rest assured, I’m not here to talk about it.
Luckily for me, the iPhone 4S is here to ‘cheer’ me up! So, let’s take a closer look at Siri on iPhone 4S and see if we could somehow understand why it made it to my fine list of top iPhone 4S complaints and problems.
Siri on iPhone 4S: Killer Descriptions
Your wish is its command.
Siri on iPhone 4S lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back.
Wow! The way Apple puts it, the whole thing sounds magical! Yeah, Siri on the iPhone 4S does sounds like a live, talking genie! Very interesting… Let’s take a closer look at this Siri the Genie!
Embarrassing Siri on iPhone 4S moments
I couldn’t help quoting a comment left by a YouTube user after he or she had watched the above video. Here it is;
obviously kids with high pitched voices are not the target group : P
But seriously, we should ask ourselves why Siri on iPhone 4S seems to have problems understanding questions and following instructions in public surroundings where ambient noises are prevalent. Here's one disturbing question that I can think off right now. Does the iPhone 4S’s microphone has sufficient noise-canceling features?
Hmm… To my understanding, Siri on iPhone 4S requires internet access to work properly. Theoretically, it should also work on 2G networks such as GPRS and EDGE but I suppose it won’t work at all if your network is clogged, sluggish or unreliable. Bad news for iPhone 4S users here in my part of the world! It would be a major heartbreaker if we could only use Siri on iPhone 4S via Wi-Fi only!
I sure had fun watching the above video, probably shot by a group of Indians. As you can see, one guy there had a very hard time trying to make Siri on iPhone 4S work for him. His problem doesn’t shock me at all. I already knew in advance that Siri on iPhone 4S currently only support the following languages; English (Australia), English (UK), English (US), German and French. Even though that Indian guy spoke English, his instructions and questions have heavy Indian accents. Siri on iPhone 4S is bound to have problems when you speak English with a foreign tongue. Just get rid of that accent, speak in plain English and Siri on iPhone 4S should work well for you.
Great Siri on iPhone 4S moments
Not bad! Not bad at all!
Wow! I'm impressed!
I don’t know what to say, I’m kind of speechless right now.
What can we conclude from all this?
Siri on iPhone 4S has some problems alright but it has great potentials and let’s not forget that it is still in Beta. In another word, quirks and bugs like the ones you have seen in the first few videos are acceptable if you look at it from the developers point of view. So far the iPhone 4S looks promising and I even approve of its 8-megapixel camera. It’s nowhere near my Nokia N8 but it sure can take some great photos and videos.
