Apple’s Siri Network Data Usage Tested

Posted: 02 Nov 2011 06:42 AM PDT

Apple’s new Siri personal assistant always requires an Internet connection to be able to answer your questions, but does this cause a problem with data usage? A little over two weeks after the launch of the new iPhone 4S a few tests have now been carried out on the device and its voice assistant feature to check just how much data Siri will use over time.

The Ars Technica team have done a little investigating and have discovered that on average Siri uses around 63kb of data on each request. With data usage ranging from just 23kb up to 187kb. Not much you think but if you are on a low data tariff with your mobile network provider the requests could start to mount up.
