“Reports circulated on Thursday afternoon that Apple’s ‘Siri’ voice-activated iPhone assistant is experiencing service outages for customers across the country,” Mike Isaac reports for Wired.
“Upon Apple’s service going down, Twitter exploded with messages from frustrated iPhone 4S users and lookers-on,” Isaac reports. “In Wired.com’s San Francisco testing, the Siri service was spotty at best, functioning properly only intermittently. Still, others located in the Bay Area reported that the Siri service is functioning properly.”
Isaac reports, “Apple debuted the service last month with one major caveat: The company considers Siri a ‘beta”’ product, a fact which should be kept in mind if the service stumbles in its first few months.”

MacDailyNews Take: We didn’t experience any spottiness with Siri today or just now when we checked again. Did you?
I experienced it. I was trying to voice command a appointment reminder and it kept saying that it couldn’t connect to the network.
Yes, it went complete out on me this afternoon. Right when I wanted to show my friend how it worked.
“can’t connect to the network”
Murphy’s law.
Siri did seems to slow down for a while after I told it “everything I say is a lie.”
OMG!!!
I can’t ask Siri any silly questions right now… It’s the end. Apple is DOOOOOOOMED I tellya
U American Sissies!
Definitely spotty for me yesterday. I live in Athens, Georgia.
Amazing how frustrating it was. I’ve already grown so used to Siri that I can’t deal with her not working!
Siri was out to lunch all day for me yesterday in PA. The lazy load is back this morning…
Im in AZ and Siri has gone to hell. Keeps trying to route me to locations in Indiana, and that when it works at all…
No worries… it’s just that time of the month. 😉
Not working for me here in South Texas on AT&T iPhone 4S.
Still not working in San Antonio. This is an awfully long outage, good thing they called it a beta otherwise it’d be getting comparisons to the great crack berry crash of ’11.
Saturday afternoon in Texas, and Siri is still spotty.
