I upgraded from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 5S to get the faster processor for improved Siri performance (both in terms of responsiveness and accuracy). it paid off big time. I’m looking forward to grabbing the iPhone 6 for exactly the same reason!
Here are some of my favorite Siri Commands. Here’s a whole list that really rocks! : bit.ly/KJv3MJ
Call (Name) – To make a phone call
Launch (App name) – To launch an app
Tell (Name) I’ll be right there – To send an SMS message saying “I’ll be right there”
Play (artist name) – Play music by that artist

Just a head’s up, my Verizon bill is going up $80!!! Unlimited Talk and Text is $89.99, 4GB data with hotspot is $50, then if I get the Edge plan, that’s another $50. Verizon is expecting me to pay over $189/month for my new plan!!! WTF!!! Or I can get another 2 year contract, pay $430 upfront and still have to pay $150/month. I don’t care how good the service is, but when compared to T-Mobile (the only carrier using the Wifi calling for the iPhone 6 currently), I only have to pay $76/month for a similar plan with the same phone. How does Verizon think they can carry on with that outrageous pricing???
