Australia was the world’s first market to receive Apple’s new iPhone 4S this morning (congratulations, us) and while it might not pack the PR wallop of a 5 release, Apple acolytes still queued overnight for upgrades such as a punched up eight megapixel camera, faster processing, longer battery life and the most immediate draw card of all, Apple’s new voice activated Siri system.
Gizmodo were among the first to test Siri’s comprehension of Australian accents and the results were both accurate and impressive. Almost as impressive as Siri’s answer to the question no iPhone has previously been able to answer: what is the meaning of life?
Siri’s Fitter, Happier style response? “Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.”
Words to live by. Add life coach/moral compass to the list of things Apple has made redundant.
