Hey Siri listen all that talk

Hey Siri gets a new functionality in iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, allowing us Apple users to activate personal assistant using just a voice command, without using the Home button.



Basically, whenever you want to use Siri taken in hand and say the command terminal Hey Siri assistant recognizing it and activating it, but keep it permanently running and listening to a possible order has drawn some pretty serious questions regarding user privacy.

Some question to what extent the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus could record everything that is happening around them without users knowing, and that continues to reach company servers Apple, or worse the security agencies of the US NSA the most mentioned.

In an attempt to reassure users, Apple said the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus does not register anything around until the user runs the command activation Siri, being compared with a local record for matching.

In this idea, compare local Siri order received and recorded one without contact Apple servers, so do not send anything to them until the authorization of the owner of the world was made and theoretically should be safe.

After activating Siri audio recordings are sent to Apple's servers using secure connections, and each terminal receives an identifier that makes anonymous separately against Apple, but last year found that things are not so as the company says.

Despite all assurances that Hey Siri is not a tool of espionage, the NSA could easily infect terminals iPhone and to use this new system to listen to everything that happens around an iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus are sure they will.
