Siri on iPhone 4 under iOS 6

Does Sire work an an iPhone 4 under iOS 6?  The Siri screen on Apple's website seems to imply it will.

Thanks Dialagranny...
No, I'm not geekish enough to even know what a JBed 4 is, nor whether it is firmware or (as I suspect) software. My iPhone is bog standard, and I finally threw caution to the winds and fixed the problem by restoring the device... it took 3 hours, but at least it restored while I slept.
And if you look around, it isn't that rare a bug (people often confuse assertions with knowledge on the internet!). Anecdotally, I know a lot of people who have experienced all sorts of different problems upgrading to iOS 6.1, and the web has quite a few examples out there. Maybe a frustrated response is indeed pathetic (after all, I can't control any new software releases, can I?), but I resent software developers deciding like little demigods what people need... mostly the reason for an upgrade is to sell something to you, and when they don't work, it ticks me off. And in the meantime all the app developers have to become "compliant", so I have a lot more meaningless "upgrades" to look forward to... there are some strange power dynamics here!
I did, when I finally fixed the problem, get a bonus though: with the new OS, you can delete individual tracks from the music app... many people had been complaining about that a lot, and the weird thing is that Apple didn't even advertise it as one of the new features (just that you could "record individual tracks", which I never had any problems with). That particular functionality disappeared with the arrival of iOS6, and is a real nuisance when you have a lot of music on the Cloud.
Thanks for your comments though, even if you made a completely unwarranted assumption about my configuration.
May your firmware never go soft, my friend!

  • I am having an issue writing texts with Siri on iPhone 5 iOS 6.  When I do it just talking to the phone it works fine. However if I speak through the ear pod headphones or Bluetooth headset it only writes about 5 works before trying to send.

    Does anyone know why this might be?

  • How do I end apps on my iphone under ios 7

    Under the previous IOS you could display apps that you had been using and close all or some. What do you do in IOS7 for the same result, or do you need to close the unused apps?

    To quit running apps in iOS 7 takes one less step that in the old days of iOS 6. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • IPhone reset under iOS 6

    I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I have noticed that resetting the iPhone under iOS 6 has changed slightly. The red slider is no longer displayed while holding Sleep/Wake + Home. It's not mentioned at Apple's page for the procedure here either (maybe it wasn't, even in the past, I don't really know)

    Update!!  I called Apple support and a fantastic young lady solved the problem for me.  She had me reset my iphone by holding down the HOME button and the POWER button at the same time until the Apple Logo displayed.  Then I released both buttons and waited about 1 1/2 minutes for the iphone to reboot.  I took the phone out to my car and plugged it in.  Launched MUSIC.  Selected the DOCK connector, selected USB on the Lexus screen and everything worked like it should.
    Thanks again Keria(?) at Apple

  • Can't Update or Remove apps, iPhone 4, iOS 7

    iPhone 4, 16 GB, running iOS 7.1.2, not jail broken, iTunes 11.4, Mac OS 10.6.8. I always sync & update via iTunes & USB cable. Lately when I sync iPhone to computer, and update apps, for some reason, available space changes radically- one minute it will say I am more than 1 GB over, then later will say hundreds of MB free. I sync every few days to update apps and back up phone. Most numbers seem normal, but Documents & Data are about 1.5 GB, Other 1.38- not sure if those are reasonable?
    Last night, tried to backup/update as usual, but it showed I was over again, so I deselect a music playlist to make space. I also deleted a few apps, which actually showed I had less space after doing that. I then readded playlist. Phone said it had only 60 MB free space available. I decided to free some space - I looked closely at apps on phone- a few said waiting, and were grayed out. When I looked at those apps on iTunes, it showed that they need to be updated (no option to Remove or Install), so I manually clicked upgrade on those apps, and did another sync. They still said Update, so I decided to try to remove them from the phone. But, I can’t from iTunes, as there are only Update buttons, and I can’t on the phone- holding apps for a while allows me to see small x on all other apps (except of course stock Apple ones) but not the “waiting ones.” I am assuming the issue is that they are newer versions of apps that won’t run on my iPhone under iOS 7, so I just want to delete them. I believe they are all free apps, things like WordPress, AccuWeather, BigMagnify free, American Airlines…
    I tried several restarts, a few hard restarts, relaunching iTunes, but am trying to avoid resetting all settings. Any other suggestions how to remove the apps from the phone once and for all?

    Today, when syncing/backing up, I got pop up in iTunes "The app "BigMagnify" was not installed on the iPhone…because the app could not be found." Which is fine, except the app is sitting on my phone, saying "waiting," taking up space while remaining useless and unremovable. Should I try deleting it from Mobile Applications on the computer?  Also, some of the apps that I can't "update" do still work, while others still say waiting on the phone. And none of them can be removed from the phone.
    Thanks.

    I just upgraded my IPhone to IOS 7.1 and now the speech to text function and Siri doesn't work
    The microphone icon is white not grey
    And when I hit it it only stays on for a split second
    Not long enough to dictate a message
    It worked fine before upgrade
    And works on IPad which I also just upgraded
    Help??

    There are many, many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

    If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

    Hi JimHdk,
    I have also upgraded to ios6.1.3, and facing same wifi connecting problem, after upgrade my iphone3gs is not connecting to my laptop shared wifi, which was working perfect with ios6.1.2,
    and its not an hardware error, its software error, crippy apple does not test their releases which causes problem to users.
    Updates:
    Earlier wifi connection which i was using on my Iphone 3gs, was WPA2, which was shared from my laptop via "Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter", was working perfectly till ios6.1.2, but when i have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1.3, my iphone 3gs became unable to join wifi,
    Today I have created "adhoc network"  on my laptop using "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n"(default wifi adapter of my laptop), and kept security type "WEP", and found my wifi working fine with my iphone 3gs,
    So if someone using LAN internet on their laptop, they can share their LAN internet to use on their ios devices, via creating an 'adhoc network',
    How to create an 'Adhoc Network',
    choose Security Type : WEP (compatible with ios6.1.3)

  • IOS 5 Siri on iPhone 4

    I have an iPhone 4 and just downloaded the iOS 5 software. I can't seem to access the "SIRI" software, or the voice controlled software in the new update. Is anyone else have this problem? How would I access this? And is it only for the iPhone 4S?

    Yes. To get Siri an iPhone 4s is reguired.

  • Cannot find Siri on iPhone 4, after iOS 6 update

    I have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 but cannot find Siri anywhere. I've tried holding home button down but that just activates voice control. Its not in general settings either. Am I missing something obvious?

    Sorry, but there is no Siri for the iPhone 4:
    iOS 6- Which software features does my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch support?

  • I want Siri on iPhone 4. it can be included technically. please add it in a future ios version. it is an important feature.

    hi,
    I want Siri on iPhone 4 as millions of other users, I think.
    it can be included technically. please add it in a future ios version. it is an important feature. iPhone 4 was an expensive phone (800$ for me, I have a 32 MB version). it should have it now. low cost Android phone has it.
    I am frustrated to not have it.
    I like very much apple products (and make a lot of friends and family members buy apple products).
    So, Apple should care about users or they will buy go elsewhere.

    Apple has already noted several years ago that iPhone 4 is not designed to have siri working on it. All models before iPhone 4S and iPad 3/Air doesn't have the processing power for Siri functionality.

  • Why apple won't add Siri to iPhone 4 on iOS 6 update while fit for it?

    Why apple won't add Siri to iPhone 4 on iOS 6 update while fit for it?

    Thank you Meg, If as you stated that iPhone 4 is capable of using Siri, then why you would think that it is a pretty good indication that it won't run on iPhone 4?
    I think it's not fare as i HAD to buy my iphone 4 less than a year ago and stuck with 4 years plan while 4s came out almost a monht after
    I want Siri on my device now, If Apple won't provided for me, I will protest at every apple location in my area!
    Who is with me?
