Siri Releases
As we mentioned, Siri was initially introduced as the newest addition to Ios 5. Even though it didn't enjoy the same level of integrations as an independent app, after Apple bought Siri they integrated the app with built-in services such as Mail, Calendars, iMessage, Reminders, Stocks, Safari, Music, Notes, Weather and some other external services including Wolfram Alpha and Google. Siri also could tie into other external service Find my Friends. Following version of Ios6 Siri was compatible with iPad devices as well, and it also gained the capability to provide various information including restaurants, movies, sports, and music. Another addition to this version was the ability to open various apps, to post Twitter and Facebook updates, and to link into Apple's Maps app for navigation. Following version Ios 7 Siri got an update in order to match new language design, higher-quality voices, and to gain access to Voice Mail and Settings. This release also came with the ability to display tweets and to tie-ins to Bing and Wikipedia. The next version Ios 7. Brought Siri great integration with some new features including CarPlay feature. In this release Siri also gained better quality voices for language including Australian English, English, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese. An additional feature was a push-to-talk feature which provided better control when Siri is listening. With release Ios 8 Siri was further updated, and new features were integrated like the ability to listen command Hey, Siri when plugged in. This was great additional feature particularly useful to those who are driving, while cooking, while in bed, or while likewise situations when people are too far away to use the Home button to activate Siri. Siri is also integrated into another Apple. Inc product, HomeKit framework. Therefore, Siri can be used in order to control home automation. For instance, if you say Good Night Siri, you can make sure that your lights and TVs are turned off, that your garage is locked, control temperature at your home, etc. The Siri team is run independently at Apple even though Siri is integrated into Springboard system. The Siri team can modularize Siri and integrate the broader range of services in addition to those that are already offered. There is no yet Siri for OS X operating system on the Mac, and there is no application for programming interface as well. It should be noted that unlike Google Now, Siri is not yet put on board to Ios devices, meaning that even local tasks such setting alarms have to be performed out to the Internet that in fact allow a network to affect these local task performances. In fact, Apple refrained from adding further prescience to Siri, that would allow the program to provide information even before being asked. We are looking forward to seeing what new Siri releases have packed for users, and it was announced that Siri is coming to the Max OS Sierra users as well.Siri Original Release Reviews
