We’ve all heard a lot about the Siri, Apple’s new voice assistant coming to the iPhone 4S. Now, a new hands-on video has leaked showing the new feature, according to MacRumors. Besides some serious examples, the reviewer also asks Siri some silly questions and statements including "How Old Are You" and "I Love You.”
When Siri arrives along with the iPhone 4S on Friday, it will come with different voice settings depending on where you’re located. At least, that appears to be the case, according to a new Siri demo video recently published by Stuff.tv.
With Apple reporting that one million iPhone 4Ss were sold in the first 24 hours, it probably isn’t too early to call the latest iPhone a success. Should Apple thank Siri for this and if so what does that mean for the company going forward? In other words, who should Apple gobble up next? We've got some thoughts.
Besides an improved processor and camera over its predecessor, the iPhone 4S will arrive exclusively with Siri personal assistant functionality. What exactly does that mean? We’ve got the answers, courtesy of Tuaw.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Donald Mustard (of chAIR Entertainment) recently noted that Apple's iPhone 4S boasts 512 megabytes of RAM.
Here's something a little spooky. Around the mid-90s, Apple made a video outlining a a product former Apple CEO John Scully talked about in his 1987 book, Odyssey. As you can see, the video appears to outline a computer equipped with software just like the recently announced Siri.
Apple's iPhone 4S might look like its predecessor, but the handset's exclusive Siri service sets it apart from every other smart phone on the market. However, Japanese Apple fans aren't going to be able to take advantage of the feature initially because, to begin with, it'll support just English, French and German. But that's not all Siri has to contend with in Japan - even its name is something of a joke.
The original Siri personal assistant iPhone app has been removed from the App Store following yesterday's iPhone event, at which Apple announced the iPhone 4S handset.
The event is over, so what happened? Watch the show to find out everything you need to know in just five minutes.
We've had a huge number of visitors stop by to hear about Apple's "Let's talk iPhone" event. Now, you can see all the action yourself. Apple has released the entire video of today's event, during which the iPhone 4S was officially unveiled.
When Apple unveils the iPhone 5/4S on Tuesday, it is expected to include a new voice feature using technology from Nuance and Siri. Today, MacRumors suggests this feature will be available exclusively on the new handset and not available on previous iPhone models through a software upgrade.
Rumors show that the next iOS will not only be intuitive, but be more like a personal assistant, Camera+ After Effects shouldn't be more than an after thought, plus one app that will have you flipping for more.
You may have heard about Apple integrating voice recognition technology and Siri-like assistive features in iOS 5. While Apple will most likely only unveil this new feature at the combined iOS 5 and iPhone 5 launch, everyone has been very curious about what it will actually do.
For a while now, we've been wondering whether Nuance technology is going to premiere with iOS 5. Now, it would appear that a system wide Nuance Dictation feature is going to launch in iOS 5, which users will be able to activate via a specific virtual keyboard button.
Following months of speculation, it would appear that Apple is indeed planning on launching a Siri-like system navigation feature with iOS 5. The feature, called "Assistant," is expected integrate seamlessly within the iOS, and work alongside contacts, location and other aspects of the mobile operating system.
Apple is likely to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Nuance Communications at the WWDC, serving voice-recognition functions from its new NC data center.
Apple has reportedly been in talks with Nuance (a voice recognition company) for several months, suggesting that the Cupertino, CA company is planning on incorporating more intelligent voice recognition technology within a future version of the iOS.
When Apple previews iOS 5 at this June’s WWDC event, we might be hearing a lot about Siri and how its technology is integrated into the newest iOS. The company, which was purchased by Apple in 2010, is behind the Siri Assistant app, which uses artificial intelligence and assistant technology to help users find different places and events.
Remember the great Siri personal assistant app? Well, apparently Apple likes it just as much as we all do and went as far as buying its developer; Siri inc.
