Siri gets lost internationally, promises to do better next year

Siri gets lost internationally, promises to do better next year

The iPhone 4S’ Siri integration may be a potential game changer, but she’s not quite the world traveler some of us would like her to be. In fact, it seems she’s as lost outside of US borders as any unprepared tourist. Looking for a pub in London? Better find a traditional map. Need to know the time of day in Canada? Siri admits she has no idea, go buy a watch. Business search (via Yelp), directions, traffic data, and Wolfram Alpha search all appear to be US-only features for now. The automated assistant’s international failings aren’t too big of a surprise, however — Apple’s own Siri page outs the service as a beta, noting that some features may vary by area. Stuck with sub-par international support? Sit tight, it’s coming: Apple’s Siri FAQ states that additional language support (including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian and Spanish), maps and local search content are set to go international in 2012.

Switched On: The four Ses of the iPhone 4S

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.

The most surprising thing about the iPhone 4S is that people were surprised by the iPhone 4S, for there is ample precedent to the company both confining upgrades largely to a speed bump and to saying no to a host of potential new features. As to the former, the iPhone 4S is straight out of the playbook of Apple’s successful upgrade of the Apple 3G to the 3GS, although the competition wasn’t as strong as it is today.

Similarly, when Apple first lowered the price of the iPod touch below $200 in 2009 amidst widespread speculation that it would add a front-facing camera for FaceTime (which it did in the next generation), the company noted that it didn’t think the product needed any more “stuff.” So, what, then, defines the iPhone 4S? The differentiators can be thought of as four “Ses.”

According to a report by This Is My Next, AT&T might be trying to get a bit of a ‘competitive advantage‘ over rival carriers with the help of a little kinda-4G-magic on the iPhone 4S.

the carrier is apparently “working with Apple” to change the indicator in the iPhone 4S (which tops out at 14.4Mbps, up from the iPhone 4?s 7.2Mbps) to show “4G” in the status bar as well.

Apple has never get any carrier change anything about the iPhone so AT&T might not be able to do much. Infact, even though the iPhone 4S technically does have HSPA+, Apple doesnt mention it in the specs list, with Apple SVP saying at that the ‘Lets Talk iPhone‘ event that Apple wont be interfering with carriers on what is true 4G and what isnt. AT&T have even put out an infographic on the 4G situation:
