Apple Iphone 4s has problems with kiwi accent

Written by  Torban

Apples new iphone 4g will be released in new zealand this week on Friday. 

The cheapest 16 gigabyte of the iphone 4s will sell $1049, while the bigger ipods 32gb and 64gb will be sold for $1199 and $1349.

The Iphone4s can be spoken to and it will answer back.

"Like if you say will i need a unbrella this weekend", it will bring up the weather forecast.

It can understand Kiwis pronounciations but not with the same accuracy.

This is where the Iphone misses the Kiwis accent.

We say' fish' and 'chips' and they hear 'fush' and 'chups'.

We asay 'peg' they hear 'pig'.

We say 'baggage' they hear 'baggage chicken'.

We say 'pan' they hear 'pen'.
