If you ’ve been search onwards to a non - jailbroken build of sassy Siri to set ashore on your sure-enough iPhone , abandon hope . Apple officially has no plan to take Siri beyond the 4S , saysMichael Steeber . It ’s Apple bullshit , but entirely expected .
After one Cult of Mac reader bug Apple technical school support over a pay Siri upgrade for non-4S iPhones , he says he receive this in response , which he forwarded to CoM ’s Steeber :
Engineering has provided the following feedback regarding this issue :
Siri only works on iPhone 4S and we currently have no program to patronage older gimmick .
If this e-mail is substantial , then that ’s in force enough for an official hell naw . Which , as noted , is dogshit — we’ve figure plentiful proof that Siri can feed just fine onolder hardware . Apple ’s 4S restriction is an arbitrary roadblock . But should we anticipate anything else ? Siri is the large 4S hoopla factor , and without that , Apple would have a hard(er ) job convincing anyone the upgrade is deserving it . Without any physical difference between the 4 and 4S , being able to bring up Siri at a party and require her to count your farts is the 4S owner ’s only way of standing out . Apple ’s not going to give that up . [ Michael SteeberviaCult of Mac ]
