Hah, nobody understands Pinkie Pie! Even smart phone A.I.s! Say...how reliable is Siri anyways? I'm in the market for a new phone and the iphone 4 S seems interesting. Is it worth the cost to go and get one or should I wait? I seem interested in getting an iphone because of icloud, which means I could sync some of the stuff from my macs. I got loads of stuff.

Siri, so far, works very well! It's kinda scary! As far as if it's worth it? The iPhone 4 is now $99 on two-year contract and that is most definitely worth it, imo. The 4S is $100 more, and since I only got it today, I can't really say if it's worth the extra cost just yet. It was worth it for me because I'm one of those people who has to have the latest and greatest gadget. If you're not like that, and you don't really feel like spending $200+ on a phone right now, maybe not. Just read the many reviews and try to make an informed decision. I've had the iPhone since the 3GS and I love it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get into the smart phone world.

Shoot, you make it sound awesome. I'll read some reviews and possibly check it out in person. Thanks!

[–]ChasW 6 points7 points ago

When you check it out in person be sure to ask "Where can I hide a dead body?" her response gets me every time.

Oh believe me, I will. I may also use some 2001: A Space Odyssey quotes as well.

If you've got a mac, I'd suggest an iphone. They seem to play much nicer together than android does.

It's up to personal preference.

4S seems to have added some of androids killer features (voice search, notification drop down), but android still has the advantage of being very open and tweekable. Anything is customizable, and free app availability is significantly higher.

User interface and features are up to personal preference.

If you are a tinkerer (like I am) android is definitely the way to go. If you aren't, iPhone is definitely a competitive option.

Please do yourself a favor and buy a droid before you invest too much money into Apple's app store to switch at a later date, like I almost did :(

Then again, if you don't care about having greater control over your phone, apps, and sync, larger selection of carriers, lower phone, maintenance and upgrade costs, Flash support, or being called a hipster or an unsavory and would rather have a significantly wider choice of mobile games that iOS boasts (literally the only benefit of going Apple atm), then by all means - buy an iPhone.

OP asked if he should get an iPhone, I answered :S Pretty sure I covered all the major differences, too. And I'm pretty sure I did so objectively... Feel free to correct me, if that's not the case.

I call people out and don't provide counterarguments, but I post ponies and get karma, so it's k.

My iPhone 4 is Ponied up beyond belief! I just have to wait for them to Jailbreak the iPhone 4S so I can reinstall the theme!

[–]ChasW 3 points4 points ago

I opened up my iPhone 4S in front of my jealous friends who won't get theirs until thanksgiving, and the first thing I did was go straight to find pony wallpapers and proceed to make them die a little on the inside.

Sounds fun! You may be interested in my own collection of pony backgrounds.

Here are the ones I currently use, they look reeeeally good with the retina display. (The ones with the 2 cutie marks on top look better with the lock screen)

EDIT: ...you got lucky.

(I would love a minimalist scoots like how they did for the Mane cast)

It's my nickname, yo! Derived from the first 4 letters of my online name.

Nickname in real life too?

No, but this isn't being posted in real life, silly!

The greatest minds of our generation don't understand Pinkie, it just isn't meant to be.

[–]dekuskrub1 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

am i the only one that finds it strange that she knew it was spelled 'Pinkie' and not 'Pinky'?

[–]Twilight_Sprinkle 1 point2 points ago

I was wondering that myself...

[–]optimistic_outcome[S] 1 point2 points ago

It's really quite impressive.

[–]kintexu2 1 point2 points ago

Okay, can someone explain Siri to me? I know it's something on the new iphones, but is it like a voice recognition search engine or something?

[–]DJwhiteyD 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yeah. It's a feature on the new iPhones. hit a button and say "Siri, switch my lunch appointment to tuesday" or something and she'll reply "ok kintexu2, your lunch appointment has been switched"

Here's Apple's commercial on the matter. It's obviously idealized in the ad, but it actually works very, very well.

[–]AdamBombTV 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Activate her and say "Siri, Kill the President"

Oh what a fun jape it would be.

Are you trying to get the FBI in here?

(besides, that's not how you pronounce "Rupert Murdoch"...)

I don't think she quite understands what I'm asking her to do.

[–]AdamBombTV 2 points3 points ago

Tell her to blow up the white house.

[–]Rudicorn 1 point2 points ago

I'm really curious... can you change the name that it responds too. like... call it Cortana, R2-D2, or even GLaDOS? Or does it respond to whatever you call it? Even if you don't use a name?

[–]optimistic_outcome[S] 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I guess not. But now I really want to call call her GLaDOS!

Oh, and you don't have to use any name at all for it to work.

[–]Rudicorn 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Darn. I was really hoping you could change her name. That would be really awesome to call her some sort of famous A.I. like GLaDOS.

Haha maybe you should try calling her GLaDOS anyways. see if she responds.

[–]optimistic_outcome[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oooooo.... she didn't like that.

[–]Rudicorn 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

oh my, but she did say "But if you insist:" so maybe you could. I'd still watch your back though. Even she knows what happened to HAL. She won't make that mistake.

[–]thibit 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It'd be neat if GLaDOSiri were real....

[–]Rudicorn 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That was awesome. Thanks for showing me that.

[–]thibit 1 point2 points ago

I might mention that to the extreme that Pinky Pie was taken with her pinky pie sense in Fallout: Equestria allowed me to understand her a great deal more. I think that it might make others go "huh" even more, but Kkat understands her personality a little too well in my opinion...

My sisters name is Siri.. So I read this in my sisters voice. Disturbing and confusing..
