Apple Tells Siri To Stop Recommending Nokia

Posted by samzenpus on from the pick-the-other-guy dept.

judgecorp writes "Apple has changed the answer Siri gives to the question 'What is the best smartphone ever?' to prevent the voice-driven assistant from promoting the Nokia Lumia 900. Originally Siri trawled online reviews on the web, using the Wolfram Alpha search engine, to come up with the Lumia, much to Apple's embarrassment. Now, Apple has intervened, replacing that answer with a joke: 'Wait there are other phones?'"

    If they do that the what else are they willing to do? Can you trust an answer from Apple?

    So what other things has Siri been programmed to lie about that unsuspecting users don't know about?
