New iPhone 4S Siri commercials take you on a Road Trip and call your Rock God
Apple has released two new iPhone 4S ads, and like most of the previous commercials, they focus on Siri, the virtual personal assistant.
Road Trip shows a couple planning a cross-country trip, and using Siri to learn the best route, to find the best barbecue and find out about rodeos along the way, to find out where they are, to learn how big the Grand Canyon is, to find gas stations within walking distance (d'oh!), to learn what the constellation Orion looks like, and to remind them to do it all again.
Rock God shows a young man planning a music carrier, and using Siri to find out where to buy a guitar, how to play certain songs, creating lists of potential band names, to send messages to the ladies about when and where his band will be practicing, and to call him "Rock God".
With Siri still in beta, there have been arguments raised against Apple making it the staple feature of their iPhone 4S advertising, saying it doesn't work in real life anywhere nearly as well. However, Siri is also the most impressive, most demonstrable, most advertise-able feature of the new iPhone.

Yeah I asked Siri how to play whole lotta love ... Her answer she didn't know false advertisement for Siri lol rock god she is not
Yes, Siri is over hyped. She almost destroyed my iphone today. I wanted her to remind me to stop at the store and get a bottle of wine. The liquor store is a block from my house.
"Siri, remind me to pick up a bottle of wine when I get home".
Siri- I'm sorry, I dont understand pick up a bottle of wine
I went through this for 5 mins, until I finally got so upset that I threw my phone against the passenger seat of my car. I finally took out my pen and wrote a note on a piece of paper
Sounds like YOU almost destroyed your phone, not Siri. Next time ask Siri to remind you to "buy" a bottle of wine at whatever time you need to.
What's the point of Siri supposed to be that it learns how you speak so you can speak naturally to it?
*Wasn't
Auto-correct is also fun.
Using "Siri" in front on a request just confuses Siri. Siri isn't a person, you don't have to use its name to get's its attention. Just say "Remind me to pick up ...".
I 100% agree. Siri is fun to joke and show off when i first got it, but now it kinda pi$$es me off when she says I dont understand!!!! This comercial is false advertisement because I asked my Siri the same things and she says " would you like a web search?" And why cant we ask her to post a FB status for us or launch a particular app?!?!?!?!?!?!?! that is a real assistant. I think Apple will give her more features or lets say i sure hope so. And I hope it's soon....
AMAZING :p
Siri, understanding ALL that? Hah!
You want Siri to be able to do that? Easy. Jailbreak your phone. There are a few apps in Cydia that make Siri way better then the way it is out of the box.
^ I agree. Seriously, those of you who are worried about Jailbreaking should really try it out. Especially now. Jailbreaking your 4S through GreenPois0n is easier and safer than it ever has been. And the possibilities with Siri are virtually endless. I can tell her to "set brightness at 80%" And •boom• it's done. I can tell her to open any app on my phone and she does it in a second. I can tell her to turn off Bluetooth or wifi and she does it without any problems. There are SO many features opened up through Jailbreaking. I was scared to do it at first too. I was lost, had no clue what I was doing. But after studying online forums like this one for about an hour, I had customized my phone more than I thought I'd ever be able to. The best part about it is if you don't like it, you can restore it back through iTunes with no trace of it. Give it a shot!
How about just making Stupid Siri stop saying "I can't do that in Canada" Totally useless outside of the US - I have better apps for reminders as well
