Apple introduced the iPhone 4S last month, one of the major new features being Siri, a voice-controlled assistant. Since it’s introduction it has been questioned as to whether this feature needed the iPhone 4S’ faster A5 processor to function. That doesn’t seem to be the case.
After it was discovered that Siri can function on older generation devices, speculation has arisen that Apple would bring Siri to those devices. Well, that doesn’t seem to be the case either.
It is now being reported, directly from Apple, that Siri will not be coming to older devices. Here’s the quote from Apple:
