Brooklyn Man Sues Apple Over Siri Disappointment
A Brooklyn man’s Apple-powered personal electronic assistant has given him buyer’s remorse and he’s suing over it.
Frank M. Fazio has brought a class action law suit against Apple for allegedly misleading him into buying an iPhone 4S by “misrepresenting” the functionality and value of the phone’s exclusive Siri feature, as first reported by the Wall Street Journal’s Law Blog.
Siri is a “voice-activated assistant” and according to Apple’s frequent TV spots, the software is useful for quickly retrieving all sorts of information at the simple prompt of a spoken request. But according to Fazio, Siri is not what her promoters would have us believe.
