iPhone 4S's Siri Is a Bandwidth Guzzler

Posted by timothy on from the at-least-data-is-free dept.

Frankie70 writes "'Siri's dirty little secret is that she's a bandwidth guzzler, the digital equivalent of a 10-miles-per-gallon Hummer H1.' A study by Arieso shows that users of the iPhone 4S demand three times as much data as iPhone 3G users and twice as much as iPhone 4 users, who were identified as the most demanding in a 2010 study. 'In all, Arieso says that the Siri-equipped iPhone 4S "appears to unleash data consumption behaviors that have no precedent."'"

    You're conflating the concepts of wealth and value and using the terms in a lazy manner to make your shitty point. Plus the fact that you're not an authority on what "techies" or "intelligent" people consider, maybe not writing things should be a future pursuit of yours.
