The Siri virtual assistant, which is integrated into almost all Apple devices, has received huge
Chinese users of various social networksstarted posting a video in which Siri does not announce the number of gold medals of the Chinese team. But the results of other countries were announced without error. In one video, Siri reports that Japan earned 11 gold medals, the United States – 10 gold medals and so on. That is, the virtual assistant managed to announce the results of Japan and the USA, and the number of gold medals received by Chinese athletes – failed.
A little later, Apple announced that the problem was related totechnical settings, so Siri can only announce the name of one of the two countries that earned the same number of gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics. This error has now been fixed.
But Chinese consumers began writing on social media that Apple may have deliberately ignored China due to the ongoing trade war between the two countries. Editorialggreminds that due to US sanctions, ChineseTech giant Huawei, which once ranked No. 1 in smartphone sales and profits, is now in fifth place, followed by US-based Apple in first place. However, given Apple's pro-Chinese market orientation, this is most likely a software error.
