Alright, no iPhone 5, no facebook. What we have though is an iPhone 4S (which looks exactly like the iPhone 4), better camera, better processor, drooling fanboys, a constantly crashing website, not so satisfied tech nerds (drenched with the iPhone 5 rumors and all that) and unhappy investors. There’s just one thing that made the conference worth the wait, Siri.
Apple has that uncanny ability to acquire nerd-centric tech, dumb it down a little, make it elegant, make it work, take it mainstream, turn it into a total hit and make tons of money along the way. That's what they did with Siri.
But what really is Siri you ask? Well she’s nothing but your humble, personal assistant, doing some iPhone processes for those who are lazy enough to make a few touch gestures but would gladly talk to inanimate objects.
Fact: Siri is not a game changer. If you’re a tech nerd then the idea behind it has been known for quite a few years (Siri is the fruit of a private research funded by DARPA, became an iPhone app and was acquired by Apple) and like I mentioned, there’s something about Apple that makes obscure stuff really popular and game changing to some.
Considering what it could do, the new iPhone must pack a lot of processing power to bring a seamless experience and they did certainly just that with the new dual-core A5 chip that was first available for the iPad 2. Of course we can’t be so sure until someone get’s his hand on the device and make a thorough review.
Want an in depth look? You can’t find it here. Bottom line? Siri makes me want to finally buy an iPhone, period.
