I just upgraded my original iPad to a new iPad 2 a month ago. And I also upgraded my iPhone to a 5. I am completely bummed that Siri is not on my iPad 2. Does Apple plan to do a delayed support of Siri/iPad 2? I'm reading a lot of complaints from other iPad 2'ers.
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
The newest iPad came out in March and iOS 6 with Siri support on the new iPad was announced in June so you had ample opportunity to get a newer iPad. Apple has no plans to bring it to older devices that can't support it in the first place.
So you bought an iPad 2 and saves some money instead of buying iPad3. Well, only the iPad 3rd generation has Siri as well as iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and the 5th Generation iPod touch.
Apple has never said, but popular opinion is that hte 2 simply lacks the proper hardware to make siri work good - namely a noise cancelling mic.
If that's true and the hardware literally can't support the software, then never. Personally? I feel if the 2 could have supported Siri, the program would have been in iOS6.
Thank you Skydiver. Your response was informative and helpful. (I really appreciated your style of response as well.)
With sincere appreciation,

Will Siri ever come to iPad 2 (which I just purchased).
