The iPhone 4S will surely be a success for Apple but it will be a disaster for everybody else:
Fact: The typical iPhone (and other Apple product) owner feels the need to flaunt their new and shiny device to all and sundry.
Fact: The new iPhone 4S looks identical to the old iPhone 4, so waving it around has lost its cachet (you might be a pretender simply waving your old phone around). How lame is that?
Fact: The one way to distinguish old and new is the Siri Voice Assistant.
Sad Fact 1: It will be necessary for iPhone 4S owners to continually ask their phones about the time and the weather, etc. etc. whenever they are at Starbucks, on the train or in the subway.
Sad Fact 2: Deprived iPhone 4 owners will need to obtain voice recognition apps like Voice Assistant or Vlingo so that they can talk to their phones too!
Sad Fact 3: Not to be outdone, Android phone people will start using Android’s voice recognition capablities in public too.
A cacophonous catastrophe in the making.
