I like this man better than...the "holding it wrong" man. he probably telling Apple followers that "you're saying it wrong"

Cook acknowledge an issue. This is rare from Apple. This guy is different

Does doubling down have anything to do with KFC???

This is where Tim Cook gains my respect. Instead of telling customers that they're using it the wrong way, he actually acknowledges flaws.

Working great, and working perfect r two different things. Siri also works great, it's jus not perfect and neither is iris. I have it on my gs2 skyrocket.

I'm just stating that Siri doesn't make the iPhone unique anymore.

28. darkkjedii posted on 30 May 2012, 21:03 1

That's true, but no devices r unique nowadays. They all copy each other n some way.

"Siri is one of the most popular features of iPhone 4S,”
umm... no, just about every one that I know that has an iPhone 4S said that it was sweet for the first month or so, then they noticed that talking to a phone is not only ridiculous, but not useful in any way.

Apple has sold almost 50 million 4S's how many of those people do u know?

25. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 30 May 2012, 11:46

Probably 49 million of them..

.... give or take 48.9 million....

I find this to be the general case for many voice apps. There are some uses for voice reco apps. Translators and dictionaries are some. I think it is useful to be able to speak a word and find out its spelling or translation. There are a few other uses I have found. For other things that I can do by typing, talking to my phone feels rediculous and ostentatious.

Yes, translations are nice with voice reco apps, but often times, if you can't speak the language, you don't pronouce words correctly, resulting in it not understanding you.
text -> speech is more useful.

I find it most useful when I'm in the car and need to be hands free, other than that it's just ok.

Is it just me or are we confusing the quotes whoever Murph is bluntly said, “but, a lot of time, it doesn’t actually work, and that’s not how most folks think about Apple products. It’s a beta. What’s going on with that?” not Tim cook
