The recent Apple launch event can be deemed as the most anticipated launch event for any of their devices. People all over the world were anxiously waiting to find out what the third-gen tablet was going to be like. There were numerous questions in everyone’s heads. The most important of which was whether the new device was going to be called, iPad 3 or iPad HD and we both know that neither was the case as Apple gave it the name, the new iPad. Anyway, the Retina Display, the 4G LTE and the A5X chip, that most of us were expecting, were confirmed to be in the tablet. One of the major disappointments that was faced was that the new iPad didn’t have Siri. With its successful debut for the iPhone 4S, people were expecting that the new iPad will also have the feature. However, it was revealed at the event that Siri was nowhere to be found in the new iPad. Read to know about the possible reasons, after the break!
Yes, I feel for the many people who wanted their very own personal assistant in their new iPad. However, Apple decided that it won’t be putting the feature in the third-gen tablet. This decision has, nevertheless, made a lot of excited fans disappointed. Below you can read why Apple didn’t provide Siri for the new iPad.
Internet Connection
We all know that Siri needs an internet connection to function, and Apple can’t guarantee a 24/7 internet connection when it comes to the new iPad. There are two versions of the new iPad: 4G and the WiFi-only models. The 4G is a pay-as-you-go service and thus, there isn’t an internet connection available all the time, because people mostly pay for it when they really require it.
Siri has gone cuckoo
Yes, Siri has become dumber than she was just a few months ago. Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, himself, has said that Siri has lost her touch. He used to ask her the names of the five biggest lakes in California, and she would answer them correctly, but now she misses them.
At first, people could ask Siri all sorts of questions and get the right answers; however, after five months Siri has reverted back to her alpha stage. This could be because a lot of people are asking Siri questions, and Apple can’t process the answers correctly and in time thus, providing people with fewer intelligent responses. Apple might be thinking that all the iPhone 4S users are doing this to Siri, and they just can’t handle the new iPad users if they had made her available on the new iPad.
Maybe the new iPad gets Siri next year. Until then, the new iPad users will have to make do with the Siri Dictation feature. On the brighter side, people can expect Bluetooth Smart accessories for the new iPad in the near future.
