I hate that siri cant be silenced.. Sucks during class
I've never seen anyone use Siri for anything other than novelty, and I have dozens upon dozens of friends with iPhones.
Does it bother anyone else that Siri was billed as a "Beta"?
I feel like Apple (and other companies) are using the term as a get-out-of-jail-free card when they're called out for half-assing it.
I say this, because it's been what, 4-5 months now since the phone came out, yet there have been no changes whatsoever in features.
The only things changed are in addition of languages.
Anyway, I do like Siri, but I really bought it on the hopes there'd be increased functionality added over time. I mean, that was the whole sell of it being processed-in-the-cloud, right? The fact that they could constantly update and tweak it from the server farms, without needing new hardware.
When you use Siri, the things you say will be recorded and sent to Apple to process your requests. Your device will also send Apple other information, such as your first name and nickname; the names, nicknames, and relationship with you (e.g., my dad) of your address book contacts; and song names in your collection (collectively, your User Data). All of this data is used to help Siri understand you better and recognize what you say. It is not linked to other data that Apple may have from your use of other Apple services. By using Siri, you agree and consent to Apples and its subsidiaries and agents transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of this information, including your voice input and User Data, to provide and improve Siri and other Apple products and services.
No way.
Only time I ever use it is for a laugh or if I hold down on the button by accident.
It's a gimmick. Would be good on Ipad but not Iphone.
I've got it switched off. The accuracy was so bad, possibly due to my accent, that I gave up.
Literally dozens upon dozens? Like a number greater than 24? Actually even that would just be 2 dozen, and "dozens and dozens" sounds a lot higher than that.
It's gotta be over 48 then!![]()
This is entirely expected. Siri is truly revolutionary technology improving the lives of tens of millions of people around the world. I use Siri hundreds of times a day to setup alarms, create reminders, lists, dictate emails, and notes, and get rapid answers to important questions.
Besides, locations in the Netherlands or any other locations in Europe haven't been added yet.

Apple should become more serious about the world. But why should they? They're the ones winning. But I really despise one characteristic in a company, that's being arrogant.
