I liked the story about the guy selling his ? iPhone 4 because he didn't like Siri and didn't know you can turn it off. Actually voice dialling is STILL better with Siri switched off (iPhone 6s) - the old system is far better. Siri won't even recognise I want to call my wife which is one of my most common calls..
