This article is not correct! I just tested and speakerphone obviously uses the rear microphone and Siri uses the front receiver.

I have a similar issue with an iPhone 4S. The bottom microphone has apparently failed, but people and Siri can hear me when using a headset mic, or speakerphone mode for calls. (Siri doesn't do that.) Does the speakerphone use a different mic? And why is that?
