Siri

One of the highlights of the iPhone 4S launch was the Siri application , a complete assistant capable of solving almost any question at the touch of a button and asking it out loud An application that filled many pages of the specialized media and that now, the website TheDegree360 has decided to illustrate to show what use is made of it and the acceptance it has among users. Information that shows through an infographic of the most curious and detailed that collects the data from media such as The Wall Street Journal, ABC News or Venture Beat among others.

The first thing this graph shows is the satisfaction percentage of users with their assistant Siri Specifically, it appears that 55 percent of users using this tool are satisfied with its operation Only a 9 percent of users not at all satisfied with this wizard, leaving the 36 percent remaining somewhere in the middle. Of course, whether they feel happy or not with this application, 87 percent of the iPhone 4S users use Siri at least once a month.

This infographic also shows how users use this complete voice assistant.Shown here is that one-third of Siri users don't use it for anything other than other than performing a search on the Internet, sending an SMS message or making a call without having to search for the contact in the phonebook. And it seems that not everyone wants to do the job. So much so that a 35 percent of users would never schedule a meeting via This application. Another 32 percent never use it to play music, just like another 30 percent are unwilling to send emails with Siri Although the data is shown that 26 percent of users use it dailyfor this last function.

The graph also shows the internet data consumption that makes Siri and the iPhone 4S when using them.If it is already known that this Apple terminal consumes the double than its predecessor, and the triple than the iPhone 3G, now we must add the cost of the assistant Siri With a simple command where Internet is not required , consumes about 40 KB per query. For their part, the questions that need connection consume an average of about 100 KB Knowing this, it is estimated that an average user of Siri may need about 20 MB per month

Siri can be a great help as a search engine, but did you know that this app uses oother search engines to reach the indicated information? Just ask for “search Yahoo”¦” or “Bing”¦ ” to use these engines instead of Google, which is the default for this application.But are not the only ones. Siri makes use of an advanced search engine called Wolfram Alpha, with whom he has a special relationship, being able to perform queries that involve mathematical calculations A good example would be asking Siri for the amount of caloriescontaining a meal.

But Search Engine Wolfram Alpha isn't the only trick that Siriis tucked under the sleeve. It also has specific voice commands to perform certain actions. These include “open quotes” or “new paragraph”, very useful for the dictation It also allows you to do specific searches in your inbox with phrases like “ find emails from or about”¦” But Siri can do even more.Asking “who is near me?” indicates the known location of friends and contacts , or know the result of a match with the command “Yahoo (team name) score ”. Commands that are active at least in English.

Finally, this infographic shows a curious fact: and that is that 51 percent of the users they want to keep this technology in the next terminals If little by little this and other assistants are improved, there is no doubt that they will be A key point to keep in mind. Also, it's always fun ask them which oracles on current issues, like when a user asked what was the best phone of the moment , to which Siri replied, in all honesty, that it was the Nokia Luma 900 We will have to see if this application continues to surprise us in the next terminals of Apple and if any competitor finally stands up to it in Android
