Guy is suing Apple because Siri gives bad directions

Built into the iPhone 4S, the digital assistant known as Siri has plenty of celebrity friends showing her off. But not everyone likes Siri. In fact, some have accused Siri as being “not as advertised” and filed a lawsuit against her creator, Apple.

Frank Fazio didn’t find Siri funny or helpful. He filed a federal class action lawsuit against Apple saying Siri commercials are “fundamentally and designedly false and misleading.” Apple has filed a motion to dismiss. But does the lawsuit against the voice activated software have legs?

The lawsuit claims Fazio “asked Siri for directions to a certain place, or to locate a store. Siri either did not understand what he was asking or after a very long wait time responded with the wrong answer.”

In its motion to dismiss, Apple said that its website identifies Siri as beta technology, a work in progress. The company also questioned why those who complained about Siri failed to take advantage of the company’s 30-day return policy.
