Siri. The intelligent assistant that helps you get things done. All you have to do is ask.
Now you can use your voice to use your iPhone. Just talk to Siri as you would to a person: Do I need an umbrella? or Any great burgers around here? or Wheres the closest ATM? Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more. How much more? Just ask, and Siri tells you that, too.

- Documentation
iPhone 4S has a better 8 MP camera but the one feature that has attracted the most attention is the built-in voice assistant called Siri. It seems to work like magic but based on what I have heard from people in India who already have an iPhone 4S, Siri does have trouble understanding the Indian accent. Siri doesn't grab Indian names well.
The disappointing bit is obviously the price. The 16 GB iPhone 4S would sell in India for Rs.45k while the higher-capacity models exceed the Rs.50k price bracket which is almost unimaginable for a mobile phone in India.
