Hello iPhone users, Apple also introduced Siri, a voice assistant with Artificial Intelligence. This assistant will learn from your voice and help you with many things. For example, you can ask it what the weather will be like tomorrow, ask it to remind you about something when you get home, have it read your messages, write an email, etc.

Dictating content directly to your iPhone is also possible with Siri, which means that, in theory, you could dictate an entire email to your iPhone while driving. This is a great way to avoid accidents caused by distracted driving. It's also contextual and personalized, so it will try to understand exactly what you're thinking of telling your iPhone to do.

At the most basic level, let's say you tell Siri to play a song, and the iPhone will play that specific song. However, this is just the most basic of Siri's functionalities, since, as I mentioned, the application allows you to write and send a complete text message without having to look at the phone's screen. And much more.

Apple calls it a "humble personal assistant," but one that could revolutionize the way smartphones are used, especially by making them more useful for those who really need them, such as the visually impaired and others.

Siri is in beta, and it seems the app is improving as it learns your voice. For now, Siri only understands English, German, and French. 

 

But it's not all good news, unfortunately, Siri will only be available for the iPhone 4S, although the jailbreak community is already managing to port this functionality to the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS.
