    Posted on by marlon

    Apple’s new Siri personal assistant is a great application for your iPhone 4S. Yes, we all know that this app always requires an Internet connection to be able to answer your questions but we don’t have a clue if it really causes a problem with data usage. There had been a few tests taht have been carried out to answer this question by the Ars Technica team, who have done a little investigating and have discovered that on average Siri uses around 63kb of data on each request.

    Ars Technica explains:

    “If you own an iPhone 4S and perform all 11 of these same queries every single day for a month over your carrier’s 3G connection, you can expect to use roughly 20MB or so in a 30-day month. If you use Siri 2-3 times per day at an average of 63KB per instance, you might expect to use 126KB to 189KB per day, or 3.7 to 5.5MB per month. For 4-6 times a day, that might come out to 252KB to 378KB per day, or 7.4 to 11MB per month. If you use it 10-15 times per day, you might end up using 630KB to 945KB per day, or 18.5 to 27.7MB per month.”
