Siri tells iPhone 4S users that the Nokia Lumia 900 is the best smartphone ever
Honest to a fault
Appleinsider is reporting on an embarrassing level of honesty from the iPhone 4S’s digital voice assistant, Siri.
When a user asks Siri "What is the best smartphone ever?", the voice assistant will respond candidly – and with an impressive amount of specificity – that the answer is the cyan version of the Nokia Lumia 900.
Just the facts, ma’am
While a potential embarrassment for Apple, this candor in disclosure shows that Apple is in no way tampering with Siri’s search results.
Indeed, those results come courtesy of WolframAlpha (which Siri uses to respond to a user’s question) and Siri merely acts as the intermediary.
At time of writing, a search on WolframAlpha’s website will turn up the same results as a Siri query.
