Get ready for Apple’s newest release the "S"! That’s right, much like the old iPhone 3G, the iPhone 4 was found worthy of an "S" update. WOW!!!!
Speed? Sass? Not quite. The "S" stands for Siri. Much like those hands free sync systems they have in cars now ("Call Home", "Play Radiohead", etc.) Apple managed to shrink the technology to fit inside an iPhone. But not an iPhone 5.
I’m kidding of course. Yes, everyone is disappointed that Apple didn’t release a new phone but there’s no way Steve Jobs would have left his post before a huge announcement like that. Anyway, Siri appears to be quite a tool. Through voice commands you can have her read your messages, check the weather, do online searches, add calendar appointments, set reminders, and more.
My big question is unless you’re driving, when would it be useful? The iPhone is already so simplistic that this just seems unnecessary in most situations. Am I missing something or is that exactly why Apple stock dropped 0.6% after the announcement? Let me know in the comments.
