Siri Voice Recognition Arrives On the iPhone 4S

If they could figure out a way to talk to Siri without having to hold the home button down first, I'd be sold.

Imagine if the iPhone was always listening in the background for a certain phrase that you could set up? It would be awesome if you could have Siri set up to listen for when you say "Hey Siri!". The phone would then wake up when it heard that, and ask you what you wanted.

That would have been super awesome.

I was so just thinking this like if you were in the shower. You could be like Hey siri text so and so running late. Would be awesome. Without pushing anything.

This is literally the definition of a gimmick, it will be interesting for about the first 5 minutes, then you will go back to doing things the way you did before because it is much quicker.

If this actually works as advertised, many things will be much quicker now than the way you did before.

AAPL bounced right back almost to where it started by the end of the day. :p

Consumers don't care about jiggahertzes and 6" phone screens. The iPhone 4S will sell like gangbusters and AAPL will continue to rise.

Rumors were not impossible, they are the industry standard, most Phone out there got those features, taking this long for a small bump in Spec is a slap in the face. The greatest feature is Siri which it wasn't even an Apple product they just acquired it no long ago and it is software based.

For once I am happy to see that there is windows for other companies to take advantage and take the lead on the industry, this way my dependency on iOS will decrease.

Really? Your saying it was completely possible to take the thinnest smartphone and make it even thinner while at the same time tapering the bottom? Yeah right.

Apple kept to the industry standard and upped it with Siri integration.
 
I really, really hope I can communicate with Siri through my cars bluetooth (2012 Mustang with Ford Sync).

As long as you can use any bluetooth headset with it, I should be golden.
 
Siri in the Iphone 4S requires the Apple A5 chip and the 1 GB of ram. Its part of the OS on the new Iphone 4S.

Get over it...sell you old Iphone and get the Iphone 4S. Why is that so hard?

This is exciting, but only on s? Wtf, seriously? What about the iTouch, iPad, MacBook / Lion? They all have a mic, don't they?
 
Siri.. A letter to john:

Hi John, I was thinking about what we talked about last night.
Ummm,
No, delete the work Ummm.
Ok, where was I?

No Delete the phrase "Ok, where was I"

So John, yes I would like to meet with you tomorrow.

Yes, dear I'd like a cup of coffee thanks.

DAM....!

Delete the phrase "yes dear I'd like a cop of coffee thanks"

Does voice control work with it currently? If not, then I think you might have your answer unfortunately.

it makes me angry that they throw that in and only on the 4s so that its worth upgrading because honestly nothing else is. either way I'm sure it'll be jailbroken somehow and ill do that for once I'm unimpressed with the upgrade

It requires a faster processor (A5) as it will not run properly on the (A4). There was an article with the makers of Siri explaining that the biggest roadblock in the past was having a phone that could actually run it. This really shouldn't be much of a surprise considering how strict Apple is on the user experience...
 
Seems like a pretty cool phone. Probably still going to switch to Android though. Getting tired of the closed Apple ecosystem.
 
So Apple annonced Siri in German too. Strange thing i just noticed is the Austrian Apple Website http://apple.at does not mention Siri at all. The German Apple Website does. I am wondering if Apple is not aware that people in Austria and Switzerland also speak German, or is siri really limited to some countries?
 
Will Siri disappear from iPhone 4?

Will Siri disappear from the iPhone 4?

Opened Siri after the Apple event...it stated that it is moving to the iPhone 4S in Oct.

I really hope it stays on my iPhone 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked it ' do i need an umbrella today' and it replied, that there was a 50/50 chance of rain today, and gave more details.

Apple don't remove it and force the 4S upgrade for me yet!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't even list the secondary mic at the top for noise cancellation in the tech specs anymore. =(

That was my favourite feature of iPhone 4. It's still there, but no one cares about it now. It makes me sad. :(

It's prominently featured on Apple's iPhone pages.

This is siriously underwhelming. They didn't even bother renaming it! What have they been doing all those months? The stock is plummeting and all I can say is: well deserved.

Dont be jealous that the 4s is a better conservationalist than you.

My guess, "tech refreshes" for future Apple products. Its a cheap/easy way to introduce "new" features without having to spend R&D money.

:cool:

when it comes to voice recognition, austrian and swiss accents can be languages of their own.

Hahaha.

Also... I'm quite sure Apple hasn't been working only on the iPhone 4S all this time. What have they been doing all these months? They probably had the hardware design team spend as little time on the 4S design as they could so that they could R&D an awesome iPhone design for next year.

I'm sure it takes time to design it, then build a prototype, and then repeat the process for not only 1 design but probably a few.
 
As so-so as this announcement is in terms of other features, this is actually pretty cool. It brought a "wow, that's awesome" smile to my face when I saw the video.
 
Well I had Siri on my 3GS...

And now it's telling me that it's going away on October 15. So the free app (which was in the itunes Store this morning) that was working fairly well on older iPhones will now self-destruct so nobody can use it without upgrading to the 4S.

Yup, I'm pissed. :confused:
