Siri is the Cher to Jonathan Mann's Sonny. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, the twosome comes together over an iPhone 5 to make sweet, sweet music.
Mann warbles about his love for the gentle-voiced robot, but Siri keeps things professional.

Apple's new iPhone is an excellent smartphone. It's larger than previous iPhones but still comfortable to hold, the LTE connection and A6 chip give it incredible performance, and turn-by-turn navigation is a welcome new feature.
Apple moved the headphone jack from the top to the bottom of the phone.
Here you can see the headphone jack on the left, the speaker grilles, microphone ports and Apple's new 8-pin Lightning connector, which replaces the old 30-pin dock connector that's been a staple of iPhones, iPads and iPods for almost a decade.
The new design keeps the switch for silencing the phone as well as the round, metal volume buttons.
The iPhone 5's SIM card tray is a bit smaller than previous iPhones since Apple switched to a nano-SIM design.
The iPhone 5 sports an aluminum back with glass on the top and bottom.
Apple's proprietary Lightning connector is much smaller than the previous dock connector, and the cable is thankfully reversible. It does, however, make the iPhone 5 incompatible with many accessories designed for previous iPhones, although an optional $29 adapter is available.
Here's the iPhone 5 side by side with the previous version, the iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 5 is 0.08 of an inch thinner than the iPhone 4S, but you can really feel how light it is 0.9 ounces lighter.

Another Passbook-ready app.
While this photo is not at full resolution, you can still see the remarkable detail the 8-megapixel camera can capture. Shall we all count the grains of pollen on the bee's back?
