Siri Offers Witty Responses to Users Asking About WWDC Announcements

[MacRumors]

Ahead of Apple's WWDC 2016 keynote next Monday, June 13 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Siri is now offering up some traditionally witty responses to users that ask about potential announcements. iPhone users can test Siri themselves by asking "what to expect at WWDC?" or similar questions.

All of Siri's responses are unsurprisingly vague, including one related to the popular HBO drama series Game of Thrones. Each response includes a link to Apple's WWDC website, which provides a schedule of events and other details about the weeklong developer conference at Moscone West in San Francisco.

Siri previously revealed that WWDC 2016 would be held on June 13-17, prior to any official announcement, and offered similar "give us a hint" responses leading up to its September 2015 media event last year.

As is usual, Apple is expected to unveil the latest versions of its iOS and OS X operating systems for iPhone and Mac respectively at WWDC 2016.

Hope Siri gets a proper update and not some minor tweaks here and there. Cortana is really ahead of Siri and Google Now right now.

I'm Sirious....

Who exactly at Apple is responsible for writing this stuff?

 

[Tim Chef]

Sick Liam on her.

 

[Crosscreek]

IMHO Siri sucks with pre programed useless garbage.

 

[DMaki650]

They must have changed it cause now all she says is that she is excited for it. Over and over and over again.

Couldn't resist

When is Siri going to become vaguely useful?
if it was a dog, they would have had it put down by now.

What's coming for iOS 10? It is strange that there is not much speculation or rumors about it.

First assistant program that refuses to answer your question. Beginning of skynet event.
Siri with Apple map:
"Siri...take me home"
"Okay"
Shows me the path to drive off the cliff.


If Siri refuses to talk, it's time to water board the iPhone.

I always thought W was pronounced double U.

Siri says Dubs Dubs D C for WWDC

Why would you kill a talking dog?

I'm finding the news about Siri's responses to questions about WWDC to be more exciting than I am about the actual event. I sure hope I am greatly underestimating WWDC this year, and Apple ends up showing off some great updates to both software and hardware.

Watch bands!

 

[Zwhaler]

New MBPs and Mac Pros, I don't really care about any other announcements...

 

[BeefCake 15]

Love the GOT reference

Well a talking dog would be good, if it talked sense... its like that game where you ask a question and you answer a difference question. while its funny for a while..... soon gets old.

I dunno. I don't think I'd ever get tired of a talking dog, even if it talks nonsense.

It's a pleasant enough surprise when a dog doesn't poop on the carpet, eat the poop, puke the poop, eat the puke, then puke the puke. Maybe my standards are a little lower than yours.

Interesting there's so many negative comments... given Apple generally is a little late coming to the party, but tends to really hit it home when they do, I'm expecting this will be a very exciting WWDC. I think SIRI in particular is going to see a huge improvement.

I agree Popeye, and your enthusiasm is refreshing on this forum. Jokes aside of course, I am excited for this year.

 

[LordQ]

That Game of Thrones reference

 

[Goaliegeek]

Hey Siri, will new MacBooks be announced at WWDC? ......................... "Checking the web for Serban."

 

[LunarFalcon]

Hoping for more functionality and usability and less Siri sass! I don't care for my phone to be artificially witty.
