Siri only seems to work about 10% of the time

The rest of the time she recognizes what I say but then returns about 2 minutes later with the 'trouble' message. Is Apple just unable to handle this much traffic?


It would be a great feature, but if the lag and lack of connectivity continues I don't see how it is useful.


Any Apple employees out there that can confirm it is a temporary issue?

iPhone, iOS 6

I understand the forum; just hoping someone out there has some information on the issue. I've read a number of posts that indicate this is a wide-spread issue. Since it is a cloud-based application, I'm assuming the issue is the scale of their farm.


The lag probably has to do with the large number of new users since Friday (including me). I'm hoping that they are scaling up to address the issue and just wanted to see if anyone has heard any news.
