Fazio Files Lawsuit, Claims Siri Does Not Work As Intended

According the Wall Street Journal, New Yorker Frank Fazio is suing Apple for false advertising claiming Siri is mispresented in their advertisements. Fazio claims that his real world experience is a far cry from what is being demonstrated in the commercials.

[I]n many of Apple’s television advertisements, individuals are shown using Siri to make appointments, find restaurants, and even learn the guitar chords to classic rock songs or how to tie a tie. In the commercials, all of these tasks are done with ease with the assistance of the iPhone 4S’s Siri feature, a represented functionality contrary to the actual operating results and performance of Siri.

His frustrations are Siri’s inability to find directions or having to endure a long wait for what ends up being an wrong answer.

Frank’s not alone in his frustration, but is this really worth filing a lawsuit?

  1. ….because all Italians from New York talk like Depp from Donnie Brasco, right Chris?

    You should’ve added that he was wearing a thick gold necklace and enjoying a nice plate of sausage and peppers just to round out the stereotype.

    Weak post.
