Why no Siri for iPhone 4 ?

Why isn't Siri on iOS 6 update for iPhone 4 ?

I have Multiple Sclerosis & my hands tire easily.

I have been looking forward to the iOS 6 update

ever since Siri came out. I purchased my iPhone 4 32G

through Verizon not knowing the iPhone 4S was

to be released within DAYS of my purchase. I can't

upgrade for another year.

I love my iPhone 4

it's my first Apple product, and as a "PC" user,

there is no comparison, Apple products are

exceptional. Is there a way to get Siri on my iPhone 4 ??

Thank You

iPhone 4, iOS 6, Why isn't Siri on iOS 6 iPhone 4 ?

"I'm paying $500 bucks total on my bill each month for two iPhones. "

Unless each phone is downloading like 20GB of data each month, don't see how this would even be possible.

Whic carrier and which plan do you have?

"noise cancelleling technology" sounds like a load of crap to me. Its all about the money. They want you spending more to buy an iphone that has a new name that costs twice as much just to get siri. Has nothing to do with The hardware used to make the phone. I had my iphone 4 jailbroken and put siri on it and it worked fine. **** im pretty sure someone even was able to implement a siri like program on an old envy phone. Has nothing to do with hardware dont be blinded by the crap apple feeds you.

Actually I know better than to be blinded by the crap that hackers/jailbreakers feed me.

Actually, you're completely wrong. Sorry.

I'm ticked off of that 2. But the reason the iphone 4 doesent get Siri is because the microphone isnt good enough. jailbroke my itouch 4 and got Siri on it. It SUCKED!! When i said whats the weather it said " Can you say that again?" But I love it on my iPad 3.

Oct 22, 2012 8:17 PM in response to sulkinethan

That isn't true. The iPhone 4 has a good microphone. The reason that Siri isn't on the 4 is because it's a selling point for the 4S. And don't believe that hardware crap, simply isn't true.

The iPod touch 4's mic is on the back so it's inconvenient for Siri. This likely explains your poor response.

If, like me you can't get Siri on your iPhone 4, just download the Google app which has voice search included....

If Apple won't provide it, then Google will 😉

A processor itself contains programming code? Wow, this must be some next gen stuff here! It's all about money, you must be living in a "iphone works because of magic" reality.

Siri can be on the iPhone 4. Please, I like iPhone, it's a great tool, and I have both an iPhone and an Android phone.

There is NO HARDWARE INTERFERENCE KEEPING SIRI FROM RUNNING ON IPHONE 4.

Reasons why:

Apple is a corporation.
Whats the goal of a corporation? TO MAKE MONEY.
How does Apple make it's money? BY LIMITING ITS DEVICES SO YOU MUST BUY THE NEXT ONE.

It's all software based WHY SIRI WILL NOT WORK ON IPHONE 4.

So, what I am trying to state is all you computer noobs who think it's device limitation should double check their sources, and take a basic PC Hardware/Software class.
