		masklinn on Oct 12, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Daring Fireball: The iPhone 4S There are two options to activate Siri: use the Home button, or just put it to your ear, as if you were talking on your phone rather than to. The second option can be disabled, but it's there and enabled by default.

That'll make me use it in public more. Genius move.

I'm just too shy to walk down the street and talk to my phone without it looking like I'm talking to someone.

The no button option will rock for my Mom, no button - less problems.
