Does Siri work in the UK? If I ask it to find an Italian restaurant it says it can only do so in the united states using united states english?
Please advise?
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
Do poeple in the UK know how to search discussion forums or use Google?
Siri is still in beta. It will work fully in the UK when it's fully baked.

We are quite rare.... 😎
I don't think you are rare at all. It's a valid question.
This phone has been out a while now, and people are already talking about the iPhone 5... if that is what they are going to call it.
The iphone 4s's crowning glory is Siri, and in the UK it doesn't do what this person has asked.
So when is this vital part of it due to even "begin" working in the UK? I appreciate a lot has to be done to make it work; whether that be subscribing etc. But surely there is a rough date of something so important?
While we are on the subject, for generall users who use the iphone 4s for a lot of WhatsApping, and email, how long does the battery last for now? The one that that seriously concerns me is that whereas in just about any other smartphone, you can have a backup battery and change it if it does - with the iPhone, if it does, you have had it.

Likely this Fall with the release of iOS6.
Apologies.... this Fall... do you mean Autumn? As in October/November its due to begin a rollout in the UK?
May I ask where you read this?
Yes, Autumn 2012. Apple announced that Siri will work in many more countries when iOS6 is released...
Where on there does it say Siri will work with the 'location services' in Autumn 2012?
This is what apple has to say about siri in iOS 6 http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/siri/
The link I posted is from the UK site. They would not be advertising features (such as Restaurant lookups) that won't work in the UK (Apple have got into trouble for doing that before).
At the bottom of the page it states:
More languages. More countries.
Siri now understands more languages and is optimised for more countries and regions around the world:
English
That's the UK flag they've used there...
Also you may want to watch the WWDC keynote from june 2012 http://www.apple.com/apple-events/june-2012/
Sorry but I have to say..... that page is not UK. It says it is optimized for UK... and others.
It doesn't say anything about Autumn. And I am not convinced that is a UK page, as it is "*.com".... and the picture is clearly American!
Julian certainly posted one from the UK, it says .com/uk....

What's this then? http://www.apple.com/uk/ios/ios6/siri/

Top-right of the previous page it shows:
It really helps if you actually read what people are linking to... Geez!
"and features may vary by area".
This does not state a date.
And the Locational bit is very generic about what it says it can do.
So while yes this was a UK page, doesn't state anything of the sort about Autumn. you must have heard that elsewhere. Doubt this is by Apple tho, as they are the world's worst at telling you "what's to come... and when".
DOES SIRI WORK IN THE UK?
