Siri Down

The voice-based intelligent assistant, baked into the iPhone 4S, needs to connect to external servers to perform any of its tasks. For many users Thursday, there’s been only one response to any query: “I’m sorry, I’m having trouble connecting to the network.”

We’ve reached out to Apple for confirmation, but the service appears to have been down since at least 12:30 p.m. ET. That’s when users started posting to this MacRumors forum, complaining of being unable to access the service.

As most of us iPhone 4S owners know, Siri will occasionally have trouble accessing the network — but the problem tends to go away in a matter of minutes. An outage of three hours or more suggests some serious problems with Apple’s servers.

  1. Once Siri is completely developed, kinks fixed and all, its really going to provide a new form of technology. It's basically a personal secretary at your finger. Can't wait to use the program!

  2. I just switched to at&t to get the iPhone 4 on my dads plan since he always had negative comments against tmobile whenever we got disconnected so now when we have dropped calls or other phone problems occur I blame Siri since he has the 4s

  3. Siri is still in beta so I look to see the final product.
