In iOS 6 Apple has expanded the functionality of the personal assistant Siri, implementing some new things, partially useful in Romania as well. The assistant doesn't understand Romanian yet, and I don't think it will soon, but if you speak English correctly, you should be able to get along with it because Apple has improved its ability to understand the words spoken by users. In this idea I offer you a list of the commands you can use in iOS 6 with Siri, the commands must be spoken in English, otherwise they don't work.
In iOS 6 Siri works on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 3 and iPod Touch 5G.
