Despite the frustration of Apple fans who waited for the announcement of the new version of the iPhone, the demand for it is very strong, as evidenced by the announcement that the phone reservation began on October 7, the iPhone 4S was implemented in less than a day, and we will talk in detail about the reasons for this high demand and try to analyze it, but now let us We are talking about a surprise Apple conference, which will make the new 4S phone popular to some.

The new technology is called Siri, and this name is due to the company that started developing this technology before Apple acquired it in April of last year, if you are sad that Apple did not create this technology on its own, then you do not have to, they added a lot to it and most importantly they made it Integrated with the iPhone system to control many of the device's features.

Watch Siri before Apple buys it:

  • What is Siri?

Siri is an artificial intelligence application built into the new iPhone 4S from Apple, and it is the first application that truly represents artificial intelligence in Apple products, because it depends on the principle of machine learning what the user wants and preferences, and then proposes alternatives and solutions or act on the basis of What he learned.

  • How does Siri work?

Long press the Home button to start Siri to listen and then say what you want as if you are talking to your server or secretary, SIR will convert the voice into written text, then process and analyze it, then search for what you want using a wide range of specialized Internet services, so if you want, for example To reserve a dining table in a restaurant near your company, Siri will receive what you say and then determine your location because you requested that the site be close to you, then searches for you in reliable restaurant indexing services on the Internet. Then he suggests the desired result, which according to Apple's words will be very satisfactory for you.

Siri understands natural speech, meaning that you do not need to list a group of words in order to do the research, but rather ask him as if you are talking to a person in front of you, say to him for example: I want to know the time in France, and he will show you a clock that is set to the time of France. Tell him whether I need an umbrella today, he will understand what you mean and tell you if there is a possibility of rain or not.

  • Is that all he has?

Of course not, it will see not only an advanced search engine, but it is also integrated into the system, so it can communicate with other applications and perform some tasks for you, such as placing a new appointment in the list of appointments, searching for a place on the map, reminding you of an appointment, or searching. Find a number in the phone book and call. Siri will bring the iPhone closer to the robot that we have been seeing in science fiction films and future technologies, with the difference that we are still in XNUMX.

  • Can Siri write messages for me?

Of course, now with the keyboard you have a button for the microphone ... press it and say what you want and Siri will convert it to text for you, so you can quickly write messages or even chat with your friends via Facebook and other social channels. But of course, in English

  • Will Siri work on my current iPhone?

So far, Apple announced that it will be available for the new iPhone 4S, but what you know with the jailbreak we may see it work even on iPhone 2G.

  • Does Siri understand Arabic?

Unfortunately no, Siri will initially be available in English (with its three major dialects in the United States, Britain and Australia) as well as German and French. Perhaps it will be available in Arabic in the future, but we do not expect that in the near future, because analyzing the voice and converting it into an Arabic text and then analyzing the text itself is somewhat behind the English language and its sisters. Let's hope that isn't too late.

  • What services does Siri collaborate with to serve me?

Siri is very cultured, maybe more than you. This is the fact that it is a supercomputer, but rather a complete artificial intelligence center, and you do not think that we are saying that it is smarter than you, but we specifically said that it is more knowledgeable, and it depends for its knowledge on a group of Internet services, and when you ask him for something, he contacts the appropriate service to fulfill your request .

  • Will Siri benefit us a lot in the Arab world?

Given that he does not understand Arabic, and that he uses American websites to search for restaurants, hotels, companies, etc. Certainly, it will be more beneficial to the residents of the countries in which these services are available than us, but it still contains a lot of benefits for us, which I think deserve to add a point in favor of the new iPhone 4S.
