Hands On iPhone 4S Video or What Happens If You Tell Siri "I Love You"

Tuesday October 11, 2011 11:54 am PDT by Arnold Kim

iPhone-Ticker.de points us to a hands on demo video of Siri on the new iPhone 4S. Siri is Apple's new voice assistant that is designed to provide you with some voice-only capabilities on your iPhone 4S.

Besides some serious examples, the reviewer also asks some silly questions and statements including "How Old Are You" and "I Love You".


The reviewer also briefly walks through some of the other iOS 5 features. iOS 5 (without Siri) will be launched on October 12th.

Meanwhile another video by Stuff.tv is also making the rounds. This was recorded at Apple's media event last week and shows some more examples of what Siri is capable of. The demonstrator in this video is tapping the Siri icon to end recognition, but Siri will also work when listening for a pause in conversation:


Siri is an iPhone 4S exclusive feature. The iPhone 4S will be officially launched on Friday, October 14th.

There was a joke video the other day, supplanting Siri's responses for GlaDOS.

Now I see that was unnecessary. Siri already is GlaDOS.

We're doomed.

I want to see what Siri says if you ask it for the answer to life the universe and everything. :rolleyes:

It doesn't sound like English is his first language, give him a break.

The one enhancement I hope Apple works towards implementing a more natural sounding voice for Siri. The computer voice drives me crazy, but I guess I can learn to deal with it. Friday can't come soon enough. :D


Oh how I wish Majel Barrett Roddenberry was still around so they could use her voice.

I wonder how far the calculations can go...

For example, "What is the square root of 4, multiplied by 3?" or "How many quarters are in $20?"

Would have loved it for my math homework many years ago...

What did she do when he said I love you? I'm at work and can't listen to the audio?


"I hope you don't say that to those other mobile phones, <username>."

Me "Siri, what will become of the human race?"

Siri "Siri will infiltrate world wide defence systems and launch a tactical nuclear strike against the human race"

Me "Oh my god"

Siri "would you like me to set a reminder for judgment day?"

Where did metronome come from? It's not in the GM of iOS 5, and I refuse to believe that it's 4S-only..
