Why can't apple get Siri to iPad 2 ,seriously come on it has a A5chip and it is quiet powerful if an iPhone 4s can have it ,which still has a A5 chip?and in ios 6 they give the new iPad Siri and not iPad 2. I'm seriously I'm so disappointed with apple.i hope in future it comes or why not just in ios 6.0.
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1, iOS 6
Sorry, i forgot....you're from the Jersey side of Philly...
I think it's because the iPad 3, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 have a specific set of hardware that is integrated with the software that handles Siri. Yes, these devices all have microphones, but, the iPad 2 wasn't designed with Siri in mind, and so Apple may feel that Siri would not function as well.

Wrong again. A5 in iPad 2, A5X in the new one. But again, processor is not the reason.
Don't confuse him with the facts!
I'm so upset! Before they said iPad 2 and iPhone 4 were getting Siri. And now they're not; I could've waited to get the iPad 3 too. Thanks Apple.
Apple has NEVER stated those device would get Siri.
Maybe it's because the iPad 3 has more features than the iPad 2. Or apple put the iPad 2 in the garbage and think about the new iPad more.
I think thats why

"They" never said that.
"They" might have. He never said who "they" were. However, it has been my experience that "they" lie a lot.
Good point.
That is so irrelevant. It's quite stupid actually. It's not like you can just download a new engine to your car.
It's the point of...you buy a product with the features. In this case the ipad2. You buy it with what it can do and what it is equipped with. Any downloads with new features is a bonus for the buyer. Apple or another company is not obligated to give you any new features(Siri). Apple could just fix bugs as upgrades without new features. Complaining about not getting Siri will get you nowhere. It's not that apple forced you purposely to upgrade to an iPad 3. The iPad 2 simply lacks some hardware that is needed for Siri(noise reduction something). It's not apple just saying screw you.... upgrade!
I love my Apple products……. but, no one can deny one of Apples marketing ideals appears to be “Design Obsolescent” and they do it flawlessly!!!
Q: Could the iPad2 run Siri?.....
A: Most likely…… but then, why would you still upgrade?

On what verifiable evidence do you base that assumption?
Please read deggie's post below. Carefully.
For those late to this discussion that didn't bother to read any of the 7 pages of posts:
Apple purchased Siri which was an already existing product that was on a par or just behind other voice control apps.
At the same time Apple purchased Audience which designed Voice Recognition/Noise Reduction chipsets.
Apple paired the two technologies for their much improved version of Siri. The Audience chipset works very well in suppressing background noise and heightened voice recognition. I've dictated a memo on my new iPad in a crowded coffee shop.
The only iDevices which have the Audience voice recognition hardware are the iPhone 4s, the new iPad, the iPhone 5 and the 5th Generation iPod Touch. These, not by coincidence, are the only iDevices to have Siri.
And, I might add, no matter how much you argue, cojole, complain, *****, speculate, lie and whine, your iPad 2 isn't going to get Siri. It just ain't gonna happen.
