I had to replace my iPhone 5 today due to a power button that was failing, and now Siri isn't working on the new iPhone. I just see that annoying spinning purple light until I cancel. I've restarted the device and used the home button/power button reset method.

Anyone else have this issue with a new iPhone and fixed it? Siri worked fine on my previous iPhone.
 
Try restoring your device from a back up. It may do nothing, but it's worth a shot. If it doesn't work, plan a trip back to Apple in the near future.
 
Question is who really uses Siri? I sure as hell don't.

It seems to have randomly started working for this phone tonight, so yay. And haha, I use Siri mainly when I'm driving in traffic and don't want to text on the screen. I also use it for the occasional reminder.
