Siri in Australia | "Sizza"

Let's get real here, just updated to 5.0.1 with improved Siri for Australia. Siri is hopeless, like actually hopeless, get past the coolness and the fact it is Beta. but why is apple being like google who doesn't and their failed use of Beta, their philosophy is more like, roll it out while were not even sure ourselves, and tweak it as we go, thus resulting in a below par user experience. If i wanted a google product i would have bought the cheaper range of android. Apple says we can't build a $500 computer that's good, well guess what you can't build a 999 dollar smartphone that really differentiates itself.
Siri does work for me, but it's under the most extreme conditions, I have to talk so profoundly clear and over exaggerate parts of words just so it can attempt to understand me, only to be given a "I'm sorry, but I can only look for businesses and locations in the united states".
Then there's the noise issue, forget any subtle background noise, living by the beach means Siri fails epically every time, yet in an advertisement for Siri, they show a guy on a morning jog and rescheduling meetings, replying to messages etc. how does that work?
When I switch to US English, Siri shines, smashing out requests left right and centre, not even having to give full details to end up with astounding results.
Come on Apple, get english Australia Siri to a "wowable" state.. Remember that old adage "it just works"

  • Why can't siri remind frequently

    I asked Siri to remind me at 5:00pm to take some paracetamol
    And then every four hours after.
    Siri says I'm sorry but I can't remind that frequently why not??

    Hi Tonefox, thanks for the info on Siri and in particular Siri in Australia. I am probably not as clued up as you but I do have to agree with geng07.
    I have read the definition that Wikipedia gives for Beta version after reading your post. The advertising gives every indication thats what the phone does. It's disappointing to say the least and with no indication of when this might happen it does leave a bad taste in the  mouth especially when we pay top dollar and expect all that is advertised to be functional.
    Is there anything else I should be aware of before I head bang again?
    Have a great day!

  • How to use map in australia by "Siri" ?

    I try to use the Map in Australia by siri , but Siri didnt support in Australia map . It only support in US. But i purchase 4s in Aus, how can i fix the Siri?

    I'm not sure what the situation is like for you since I don't live in Australia, but I know that Siri is still in beta and I believe will gain support for more countries and languages as Apple updates it. That's only my best guess, but I might have seen it somewhere. I know Apple is working on support for the iPhone in many more countries by the end of the year.

  • Why does Siri still not work in Australia???

    It has almost been 6 month since apple released the 4s. I purchased it because I had never owned an apple product. Siri looked amazing in what it could do that's why I got it. To find out it wasn't working to its full extent in australia was very very diss appointing. As it has been so long since its release I really want to know why this is still not resolved??

    This is the iPhone 4S page on the Apple Australia website, Siri is plainly marked as BETA, which mans still in development. Perhaps you lot should stop playing with the Joeys and pay more attention.

  • Siri - Will business be searchable in the future in Australia, Siri - Will business be searchable in the future in Australia

    Hello all, as a usual city worker, i purchased the iphone4s purely for Siri (partially blind, i love it so far) But i have a deep complaint.
    Why does siri not work for Australian businesses?
    What organization does Apple use for business searching, google?
    Why could they not make it user defined, where businesses can add their own business and references..

    Thankyou Ray-lee i was not aware it was in beta.
    I read in another post by a level 10 person here that
    The press release says that the Siri beta will be localized in English only for the US, UK and Australia
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16312571#16312571
    It will be available early next year.

    Dear sir,
    i am fully dis-appointed about my above case no : *******. I have face this problem last 9 and half months and still the issue is not resolved. This iPHONE4S purchase from Australia and now i am in india. Your apple team told that the problem in your device and ready to replace it. But Now what happen they told you must have to send this iPHONE to Australia. But I have checked the courier people is not ready to take this device to australia. I will send it if any body of my relative comes to india but it will take a long time may be 8 to 10 months . I already suffering this problem since last 9 and half months and also for replacement it will take another 10 months. so it will very difficult for me. i request you to please send a new device at my address and i will send you this iPhone 4S return back when my some relative comes to australia.

    Just a reminder to you.  Apple is not here.  This is a user forum and the only people here are users like you.  Posting the same rant multiple times achieves nothing. Keep it up and your future post will be deleted just like the one that just was.

  • Why does siri not find me buisness in Australia, it ony says USA

    Siri says it cant find buisneses in Ausstralia only in USA, whys ths and will apple ever fix this?
    thanks

    You can't until Apple adds that capability. Right now, US only. All Apple has stated is that more countries/regions will be coming in 2012.

  • I bought my iPhone 4s in the Uk and then brought to Cyprus where I live. I used Siri to call my husband 2 days ago without problem but now when I try to use Siri it won't call any local Cypriot number but will call my Uk contacts. Help please

    I bought my iPhone 4s in the Uk and then brought to Cyprus where I live. I used Siri to call my husband 2 days ago without problem but now when I try to use Siri it won't call any local Cypriot number but will call my Uk contacts. I can call the same numbers manually so it's not my network. Any help would be appreciated.

    This sounds like an international issue? Although I can not see why? I brought my phone in Australia and operating it in Indonesia, I have the same issues.... Otherwise Siri works fine, even texting (SMS) to local numbers siri works well, but dialing local number it just wont work...! I will try using my Australian SIM card and see if that is the reason.. I tried changing the number in the contacts and took out the international prefix, I turned the international assist on and off still nothing.. How frustrating. I called apple, the technican had know idea and we to his supervisor, had to wait fro 40 miuntes and then I hung up..
    PLEASE HELP..!

  • Can't set Siri for American English

    I purchased my iPhone 6 in USA.  Just returned from two weeks in Australia.  Siri still thinks it's in Australia.  For example, when I say the word COLOR, Siri spells it COLOUR.  Also, I can't change the date format.  I want American style ... MM/DD/YY, but my iPhone shows format used in Australia ... DD/MM/YY.  How do I return my iPhone to USA settings?

    Hi David,
    For Siri please change the preferences in "Settings > General > Siri > Language" and for the date format go to "Settings > General > Language & Region" and choose the one you prefer.
    With kind regards,
    David

    I am using my iphone 4s here in dubai.Do i have to install any application to use siri..?? Coz i tried using them and i alwayz get ans which are not relevant.Please advise.

    No Siri is preinstalled.  Check you have enabled Siri correctly in Settings>General>Siri>ON and ensure you have completed the My Info correctly.  Siri uses the information in your My Info which is taken from your contact card to respond. Also Siri is still in beta and currently uses limited languages i.e.
    English (United States, United Kingdom, Australia)
    French (France)
    German (Germany)
    Finally just check your restrictions in Settings>General>Restrictions>Siri>ON
