The forthcoming iPhone 5 is rumored to include sophisticated voice control, allowing users to send texts and issue commands simply by speaking to the phone. I’m generally dubious of voice control systems. More specifically, I’m dubious of their ability to understand me. Every voice control system I’ve used has left me frustrated and annoyed. That’s not to say others won’t find this feature helpful, but I won’t be lining up at the Apple Store on Day 1 of its release. My 3Gs still works just fine.
