Siri has a problem with broad, comical foreign accents.
Not that the guy in the video has one, you understand. He’s just a non-native speaker.
Our fearless Cult head Leander, on the other hand, speaks exclusively in Cockney rhyming slang, and he’s always going on about how he wants to have a butcher’s down at Tottenham Court Road to stick his hampton in some Berkeley Hunt. How’s Siri going to deal with that, I wonder?
In light of that, something tells me Leander’s iPhone 4S review (coming later today!) isn’t exactly going to be glowing.
Still, Siri’s a work in progress, and Apple’s not going to rest until it can talk to everyone.
