Can the iphone set a reminder based on things said in a phone conversation?

Today my wife was on a phone call with her mother and had to cut the call short so she said, "I'll call you back in a few minutes."  About 15 minutes after hanging up a reminder went off on her phone (that she had not set) that said "Call back [mom's name]."  She was totally surprised by it, but had forgotten to call her back, so it actually came in handy. 
Are we imagining things, or can the iPhone actually create reminders without you knowing just based off of things said in a phone conversation?  I know that neither of us had set that reminder manually, and we're the only ones in the house.

Right, but in this case, she never activated Siri to set a reminder.  She never set the reminder at all.  She just said that she'd call her back in the phone conversation and then hung up.  Then the reminder came.

  • Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?

    Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?  Of course the GPS location feature will need to be on in order for this to work.  But the idea here would be to optimize battery life by disabling the 'call home' requests of apps.  The settings profile should also support downloads as I would like to download and allow it when I am on WiFi but not so much when I am using my cellular data.

    No, this is not possible as the sandboxed nature of iOS would not allow any app to modify another app like that. Such a feature would have to be enabled by Apple as a part of iOS itself. You can submit feedback to Apple about the idea if you wish to.

  • Why is it when you set a calender event in outlook 2010 (in UK) with a reminder alarm for 30mins prior) and have the iphone set to keep the appointment time relative to the local country time that you travelled to, the alarm time is still at uk time ?????

    why is it when you set a calendar event in outlook 2010 (whilst i am in UK) with a reminder alarm for 30mins prior to the appointment time) and have the iPhone set to keep the appointment time relative to the new country time that i have travelled to (this works OK), the alarm time is still relative to the UK time and not in sync with the local country time like the main appointment is.
    Does anyone know the answer please.

    This has to do with the Time Zone Support selected in your phone. If you check in Settings>Mail, Contact, Calendars, there is a setting for Time Zone Support at the bottom of the page under Calendars. If that is turned to off, the calendar should support the local time. Because time is set to Automatic (since you say the time is correct on the iPhone), it is reflecting the local time. That information comes from the carrier, not the iPhone itself. You can check, however the iPhone says that if you turn off the Time Zone support, it should reflect in the local time. Do a test, if possible,  and see if that will do what you are asking.

    If you are not a registered developer, you are a thief. Pay to join the developers program so you can take this to the developers forums or wait for the final release in the fall.
    And don't mess around with beta software you're not entitled to.

    Remember to set keyboard to English (UK) but set the layout to US International so you have the $ sign easily accessible on the keyboard instead of the £ sign

  • How many contacts can the iPhone hold....now?

    This question was asked back in 2008 and has been archived, however I'd like to revisit this issue.
    What I'd like to know, is this:
    How many contacts can the iPhone hold before it effects performance?
    I have a iPhone user with an MS Exchange email account on the phone, Calendar and Contact sync is turned on. The problem is, the user has 10,000 contacts.
    The contacts synchronized to the iphone, however, when writing emails or doing any task that accesses the contacts database (i.e. auto-completion of names), There is a good 35 to 40 second lag before you can enter the second letter of a name on the keyboard. I can only assume that this is due to the pure insanity of having 10,000 contacts on a mobile device... The search takes too long. Although it did work just fine on the blackberry (a lessor device ).
    Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on how many contacts one can successfully store on an iPhone without running into the "lag" issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    What is the overall size of all these songs?
    This will determine how many songs the iPhone can hold.
    The actual capacity of an 8GB iPhone is around 7.3 GB - OS X alone takes up approximately 500MB.
    You should leave some free space available on the iPhone for general operating purposes and if you access any email accounts and for Safari cache purposes, etc.
    So you have around 7GB available - as long as the overall size of all 9400 songs isn't greater than 7GB or so, you are covered.

  • "can the iphone 5 hold 1170 songs and 85 apps or should i go for the 32gb model?"

    "can the iphone 5 hold 1170 songs and 85 apps or should i go for the 32gb model?"

    I have more music than that and more apps, and I have a 32GB model with about 15GB free, so I would suggest the 32GB.

  • MacBook, USB wireless antenna, and tethered iPhone 4: Can the iPhone use the antenna?

    I have a late 2008 MacBook, a USB wireless antenna (Etekcity High Power 802.11 B/N/G 300M USB Wireless 1000mw Wifi Network Adapter with Dual Antenna), and a USB-tethered iPhone 4. My cell signal is often very poor, and when it is, trying to use the Internet on my iPhone is an exercise in futility.
    Can the iPhone use the wireless antenna as an external antenna by, in effect, using the MB as a pass-through device or signal booster? I'd have the iPhone at one end of the chain, connected to the MB via USB, the MB in the middle, and the external antenna on the other end, also via USB.
    Is there an app for that? Or are we talking about sending/receiving completely different signals?

    Max, I just got the etekcity usb antenna thing and I can't find the mac adapter.  Can you tell me which driver you're using?  (the cd that comes with it doesn't seem to work).
    Thanks!

  • Can the iphone 5s bought in HK can work in Canada LTE ?

    can the iphone 5s bought in HK can work in Canada LTE ?

    Hi Good morning!
    When it comes to warranty it'll be applicable only in the country were you bought it from... now when it comes to international GSM usage you need to keep the following in mind:
    T-Mobile is selling contractless iPhones (NOT FACTORY UNLOCKED), yes they are internationally sim unlocked as mentioned on the Apple online US store BUT it'll be under T-Mobile conditions which you can find here: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588 (please read it before taking the decision).
    So if you're expecting to buy an iPhone 5s either from Apple or T-Mobile (online or physical store) and use it out of the US since day one... You better wait until Apple itself releases the GSM unlocked version otherwise be ready to activate your phone with T-Mobile first and wait 40 as a minimun requirement to have it internationally unlocked and use it anywhere with GSM carriers. (Again, take a look at the previous link for full requirements).

    I changed my phone recently. The 2 phones are using different accounts for iCloud. Can the iPhone 6 keep the 2 back-ups at the same time without erasing the content of any of them? If so, how to?

    if you phone arrived damaged you should have notified the seller immediately by phone.
    if the phone did not arrive damaged, the you damaged it.  Dropping the phone is not the only way.
    after 14 days, the buyers remorse periods over and you are stuck with a phone you can send to repair service, but will have to pay the deductible.

  • Can the iPhone 4 shoot video in slow motion?

    Can the iphone 4 shoot in slow mo? This video says they shot it in slow motion but I don't think it can?

    This question is too funny...
    Nothing can shoot in slow motion (since things always occur in real time). You can only *play back* a video in slow motion (i.e., reduced frame rate).....
