With the second major outage of Siri since its launch it’s starting to show the folly of only allowing voice commands over an Internet connection. Before Siri came along I was able to tell my phone on those long car drives up to the remote cell tower-less north which song to play. Now I require an Internet connection. If I turn Siri off it automatically goes back to the old voice commands that do not require a connection. That leads me to the question of “why doesn’t the iPhone default to basic voice commands instead of the erros that don’t allow voice commands at all?”.
