Apple’s love-it-or-hate-it voice assistant Siri has suddenly become a bit coy about some questions – and the reason might make you do a bit of sick in your mouth.

If you ask Siri music questions such as what’s in the U.S. charts, it replies, ‘Sorry, I can’t look up the music charts for you. You don’t seem to be subscribed to Apple Music.’

In other words, you need to pay a tenner a month to use a service you’ve already paid several hundred quid for as part of your iPhone.

(Interestingly, the glitch only happens if you ask for the U.S. charts – if you ask for the UK ones, it looks them up on the internet for you.)

Tech sites have – quite rightly – condemned Apple.

‘This is crazy that they would do this,’ said CNET’s Jeff Bakalar. ‘Nobody wants to be shamed into paying $10 a month for Apple Music. It’s a bad look for Apple.”

Typical, I did the old "Hey Siri" bit when driving to work the other morning, I couldn't be arsed and wanted to know if my phone was smart enough to drive my car for me. Apparently not, snobby bastard didn't even reply. Tch!
