“If you were disappointed by the fact that Apple has made Siri an exclusive iPhone 4S feature, there is still some hope for you,” Alexander Vaughn reports for AppAdvice. “We’re being told that there is still a chance that Apple will be bringing the feature to older iDevices such as the iPhone 4.”
“Indeed, as revealed by the folks at Jailbreaknation, Apple is still considering releasing Siri on the iPhone 4 and went as far as installing a special built of iOS 5 that includes Siri on a number of Apple employee’s iPhone 4 recently to test it out for a few days,” Vaughn reports. “The news, comes from a source of Jailbreaknation close to Apple, which they were kind enough to let us verify, and it does appear to be legitimate.”
Vaughn reports, “A second source also confirmed to us that the test went really well as far as performance is concerned. Unfortunately, the microphone of the iPhone 4 is not as good as the 4S one, and this might be holding Siri back if they can’t overcome this with software.”
