Why is Siri not available on the iPhone 4

If Siri is software, why is it not available on all iPhones? I remember when the 3GS came out and we got video but not on older phones yet there where hacks available for older phones that allowed video. Is this the same scenario where Apple is trying to force hardware upgrades in order to benefit from new software when it really isn't necessary?

Siri is not available on the iPhone for because Apple didn't make it so. None of us users here know the reason; speculation is prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
Regardless of the reason, it is NOT available except for the iPhone 4S. If you want Siri badly enough, get a 4S. Complaining doesn't change anything, and none of us here really want to listen to it anyway.

Why is Siri not available on the Ipad 2?

Why is Siri not available on the Ipad 2?

Only Apple could tell you that definitively.
Make your own assessment.

Why is Siri only available for the iPhone 4s?

I think Siri should of been available for iPad2 and iPod touch (4gen.) in the ios5 update. I mean if its just a personal assistant, why not?!

I agree that Siri should be available for the iPad2 (which has the same A5 dual core processor) and the most current iTouch4.
But that not withstanding. Is this the same Siri Assistant application that was a free app early last year 2010? When I got my iPhone4 (last summer) it was one of the first apps I downloaded but I didn't know how to use it well and it got loss in the abyss of my iphone apps library.
When I tried to use it again, it did not work, giving me a message "retrieval failed" Siri could not download required info from server. It is now longer available within the iTunes Store, probably since it was purchased and put in the new iPh4S as an exclusive.
Can I do something to make the original Siri Assistant app work on my iPhone4. It is too early for me to upgrade to a new 4S.

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8. It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8. Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old. In cell phone land, that is ancient........

Why does Siri not work in the uk?

It does.
All features of SIRI are simply not available in the beta version in all countries.

Unless you have done as you should and have the old facebook app on your computer.

Why is iDVD not available in the apple app store?

hi there!
i wonder why iDVD is not available in the App-Store.
are the functions from iDVD part of Final Cut Pro - or is there a other official program for creating DVDs out of iMovie films?
hope to find an answer here,
greetings
david

Apple has stopped development and support of iDVD and iWeb. They are currently only available via the boxed iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com: iLife 11 or maybe eBay.com.

I live in South Africa and would like to purchase the song - Shakara by Fela Kuti and its only available in the American store. Why is it not available in the South African or why does the American store prevent me from buying from it?

Why can't i buy the song Shakara by Fela Kuti from the American store if its not available from the South African store? Why is it not being made available in South Africa? It does not make sense to me, especially from such a top company that is priding itself with improving accessibility.

It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell content where the content providers grant them licenses to sell it, so if the record company hasn't granted Apple a license to sell that song in South Africa then Apple can't sell it there. You can try requesting that it be added, but it won't be able to happen without the record company's agreement : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
You can also only buy content from your own country's store, you won't be able to buy it from the US store unless you are in the US with a US billing address on your account.

Why is siri not available in ipad 2

as Siri is good and I want to use in my iPad 2

I do not believe Apple has ever published any specific reasons, but more than likely it is due to hardware limitations. Regardless, it is not available for the iPad 2 and if you want Siri you will need purchase a newer model.

Why is the iOS 5 not available for the iPhone 3G??

So disappointed that the iPhone 3G can't update to the new iOS 5!!!!!!! Does anybody know why??? Is there any solution?
Now I can't syncronize my data like I used to do it with mobile me!!!
SO DISAPPOINTED Apple!!!
You SHOULD make it available to all iPhone users, not just the new ones!

Yes, Mobile me is available until january, but since I downloaded Lion I thought the best option was to switch to iCloud, so my Mobile me isn't available anymore... I can still sync my data manually!
After that was when I tryed to update my iPhone and got the surprise that it's not compatible with the iOS5!
I guess it's time to get a new phone... haha
This is my first big disappointment with Apple... sad
Thanks everbody !

Why isnt iOS 5 available on the Iphone 3g?

Hi, I still have an Iphone 3g, I was wondering why the iOS 5 was not available on this phone and the reason for it not being? and also whether i would be able to get imessage?
thanks

Because apple stopped supporting iphone 3G since ios 4.3 i belive. I think iphone 3G only supports up to 4.2. So you are out of luck unless you get the iphone 4S or below that fully supports it.

Why can we not pre-order the Iphone 4 due to tech problems? The US seams ok

I have been trying to pre-Oreder the new Iphone and I have had no joy. For over an hour now the uk web page has had problems.
I do not think is fair how other webpages on other countries like the US have no problem on making orders but the uk for some reason can not make any orders yet! Convenience?
I can not even make it over the phone, why?
I feel like the US is getting priority on this like the Ipad, although we are meant to be able to pre order on the same day.
If you are not able to pre-order in a certain country, no one should be able to pre-order elsewhere. I am not happy the way this is being done, I understand Apple has technical problems, so stop pre orders deal with it and then start again.
Like everybody who wants an Iphone 4 I can not waist all day trying to acces the website as I have work to do.
But I also do not want to come to pre-order and havbing to wait longer than the 24th June becouse too many people have been ordering this while the uk site has been down.

Thanks I did take notice but I also know that orders were made even though.
I guess you just have to keep trying.
I was able to order the bumpers for it about 45 min ago and now I have order the Iphone 4, but I still have friends that have not been able to order.
Just need to keep trying till is fix! I'm ok now which is the most important.
I know is hard and they will be overloaded but should be coping, i thought they coped very well with the Ipad!
Anyway thanks for reading my moaning!

Why can I not pre order the iPhone 6 with us cellular?

Yuo can pre-order the iPhone 6 for a coupe carries but not US cellular (which is my carrier). Just wondering why that is.

Preorders are not live yet.
Us cellular is not a major carrier and will not be sold by Apple.
You will have to go through the carrier to get one, when they carry it.

Why Is ALAC not available on the iTunes store?

I cannot understand why apple has not made all iTunes downloads available in ALAC format? It seems very difficult to purchase all music (old & new) in lossless! Why have Apple not noticed the increasing trend for music quality and made ALAC format tracks easily available? This makes no sense to me...??

Why have Apple not noticed the increasing trend for music quality and made ALAC format tracks easily available? This makes no sense to me...??
Apple has noticed the trend that most buyers do not care about lossless music.
There are many online music download stores that sell lossless tracks, either exclusively or as an option. Feel free to shop around.

Why is Spotify not available on the Nigerian apple store?

I used an android phone before now, there was an app called Spotify that I love and use all the time.
Now I am planning to switch to iphone 6 but because spotify is not available on it, I am having some doubts about using iphone.
I use a Nigerian Apple store for your information.
Please resolve this issue.

Not all apps are available in all App Stores due to contract arrangements. Since we are all fellow users on here we cannot speak for Apple's legal arrangements.
