Hello Greg: The iPhone 5 has the features of Siri integrated into the operating system, whereas the App available for the iPhone 4 requires one to be in the application. For example, if I were to somehow obtain an iPhone 5 by selling all my worldly possessions, I could hold down the home button, and, much like the "voice control" feature present on the current iPhone model, I could say "send a message to Greg professing my love", and it would send a message to Greg, after pausing for an awkward moment. The difference is the integration, which is nice. I will resist my urge to endure absolute poverty and wait for my next upgrade (October of next year). I will then acquire the next model of iPhone (if the arrival of such is imminent). The features of the new iPhone are nice, but they don't make me drool with desire or anything. I have my eye on the LTE version, whenever that may be.

How is this different?

I'm with sprint. currently, the offer a completely unlimited plan, but the roomer sites are all saying its just a matter of time before they do away with that or cap it or exclude the iphone from it. anyone have any hard info on that question? thanks, max On Oct 5, 2011, at 10:17 AM, Chris Blouch wrote: So in case you haven't already found this, Apple released a video of several use cases of people interacting with their phones purly through speech. http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/siri.html CB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
