Many of Siri’s Functions Won’t Work Outside Of The U.S.

Many of Siri’s Functions Won’t Work Outside Of The U.S.

Among the iPhone 4S’s most notable and impressive features is its new built-in Siri functionality, which acts as a personal assistant and is capable of controlling almost all aspects of your phone using natural language. Unfortunately, MacStories reports that iPhone 4S customers outside the US are finding that many of Siri’s tasks don’t work at all outside the U.S.

For instance, as in the image above, it’s apparent that Siri can only look for addresses within the U.S., and can only do so when English is used as the primary language – an unfortunate slap in the face for anyone located outside of the U.S. or who doesn’t speak clear English.

It’s especially unfortunate that the iPhone 4S’s most exciting new feature only works for one segment of Apple’s customer base, and even more unfortunate that Apple did not make this clear prior to the device’s official launch.

I’d be pretty disappointed if I stood in line for hours only to find out that the iPhone 4S’s best feature is crippled…
