Siri for iPad 2 in iOS 6

Of course I read through all the posts, but sadly every post before mine was wrong.

Wow, sure of yourself aren't you? So you are saying Apple doesn't use the Audience chipset in the iPhone 4s (and they aren't in the iPhone 5 but they've gone in a different hardware direction).

Your friend is an Executive in Apple and has access to design materials? And he trusts you?

Very sure of myself yes - and I'm 110, no 120% certain they've gone in a different hardware direction with the iPhone 5, the Audience chipset is so 2011, no one uses that junk anymore.

I didn't say my friend was an Executive, you made that bit up, which actually leads me to question what other things you've gone around making up on these forums.

I know you didn't say he was an Executive which means he doesn't know squat. I'm not making up anything here but I believe there is someone who is. And I already said they went another direction and you can't be 120% certain of anything.

You got me there - unless of course the method you are using to measure certainty has a 20% margin for error.

No, standard deviation would be applied in a different manner and would only apply to a population sample.

Done with you, Monday's are my don't deal with morons days.

I'm not going to argue with an insider :). Your friend might be Tim cook or the janitor, I don't know. The noise reduction could be spot on! Siri could "technically" work on the iPhone 4 and original iPad too. Let's say that is true. Look at apples track record and how they strive for perfection. If Siri works on older generation models, but doesn't live up to apples satisfaction, they will not release it for those models. Just because someone hacked it onto their iPad 2 doesn't mean it will work "well". Might work well at home, but try a train station. Apples stringent oN that stuff, past track records speak for themselves.

Well if they strive for perfection they are falling well short of the mark, I'm on my 3rd 4S due to 'known hardware issues'.

p.s. I don't really have a friend that works for apple, the sentence after this declaration should have been a dead give away.

Happens dude with evey company. There will be some defects. I've had defective phones from Motorola, routers from net gear, and tvs from Samsung. Just the other day I bought an airport extreme that would drop Internet every 2-5 minutes. After hours of troubleshooting I returned it. The new one works flawless. You are going to have defects even without apple.

Reasons why to buy iPad 2 and not the new iPad:

- Thinner

- Lighter

- Still has Retina Display which is very good

- $100 cheaper

Reasons why to buy the new iPad and not iPad 2:

- Better graphics

- Faster

- Siri

If Siri would also come to the iPad 2, trust me, most of people would prefer the iPad 2 over the new iPad.

Siri available for:

- iPhone 4S or higher (no 4)

- The new iPad (no 2)

- iPod Touch 5 (no 4)

They brought Siri to only the latest devices.

The iPad 2 does not have a retina display!

iPad 2 resolution 1024 x 768

iPad 3G resolution 2048 x 1536 (4 x the pixels within the same demensions)

Well I can't see any pixelation on my iPad 2 during normal use, so surely by Apple's own definition, it is a 'Retina Display'.

No it does not.

Why should I?

What are your qualifications that should trust you?

Then why did the iPad3 sell like hotcakes before it was even announced that iOS 6 would not give Siri to the iPad2?

And the iPad 3 does not have Siri now, why are people buying it?

Say what?

Philly, that is Apple's quick and dirty definition. I have heard both Steve Jobs and Tim Cook (or was that Phill Schiller?) say it in iOS keynotes introducing new devices.
