The current focus of iPhone 5 rumors surround the phone's release date
and anticipated new design, but few people are talking about the iPhone
4S's favorite feature: Siri. Tech analysts from the iOS 6 News Blog
predict that the new iOS 6 operating system, which is expected to be
released ahead of the iPhone 5, will bring with it an even more
sophisticated voice recognition system.
An upgrade to Siri could possibly mean a better developed interface.
Rumors suggest the feature will be activated by simply shaking the phone
and website search, navigation and social media sharing will all be
possible through a simple voice command. When Apple launched Siri with
the iPhone 4S last October, the voice recognition system was touted for
its understanding of connotation ad meaning, making it a far more
intelligent entity than simple voice recognition.
The feature is expected to be developed further in the coming year in an
aim to rival conventional search engines like Google, with an
intelligent voice assistant alternative. Apple's iOS 6 software is
expected at the Worldwide Developers Conference, where the iOS 5
software was revealed last year.
