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 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.

  • Is the Siri only available on the 4s?  I thought it came with the new iOS5 software?

    need help using Siri after update to iOS5, anyone got any ideas?

    Siri is only available for the iPhone 4S. Siri App on previous models have been discontinued and no longer works. If Siri is important to you then you will have to get the iPhone 4S. It is built into the iphone 4S.

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

    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........

    Only Apple could tell you that definitively.

  • Will siri be available for the iPod touch 4th Generation?

    I have an 32gb iPod touch 4th Generation. My Aunt owns an iPhone 4s with siri. I would enjoy having siri on my itouch and I heard that you can get it if you jailbreak your ipod. Is this true? And finally, will siri be available for the iPod touch?

    If I am correct, I read it on Apples website. I believe this is the article of which we are talking about. Now that I pick through it more, I understand that when it comes to Siri, the iPod touch isn't even mentioned.
    Thank you for your help!
    With iOS 6, Siri understands more languages, works in more countries, and is available on the new iPad.2 So you can get more things done in more places around the world. Want to know the latest scores and stats for your favorite teams and players? Thanks to iOS 6, Siri knows the answers. Or maybe it’s movie night. Siri can show you the latest reviews and showtimes. Find the best restaurants in town and make reservations. Even open your apps for you — no tapping required. Say "Launch Flight Tracker" or "Open Angry Birds" and Siri does just that. You can even use Siri to post Facebook updates and tweet for you, too.

  • When will Siri be available for the iPod Touch and the iPad?

    When will Siri be available for the iPod Touch and the iPad? Really wish Siri would be expanded to other high end Apple devises like the iPod Touch 4th generation and the new iPad instead of it just being iPhone 4S exclusive. That's such a cool feature!

    Well.. Me and one of my good friends both have iPod Touch 4th gen 32gb's and my friend read on the Technobuffalo website that IOS 5.1 was suppose to come with Siri for the iPod touch and probably the iPad and I updated my iPod 4th gen to IOS 5.1 and it still doesn't have Siri !

  • Is there a similar app to Ring Scheduler available for the iPhone?

    Hi,
    I currently use a Droid, and I am NOT happy with it overall.  However, the reason I chose a Droid over the iPhone is because of one application not available for the iPhone, but available for Droids.  That application is "Ring Scheduler."  (RS)  With RS you can select times at which your phone's ringer will automatically silence itself.  Additionally and MOST importantely, you can add contacts to an exceptions list so that when these contacts call during silence time the phone will ring.
    For example, I have my silence times set from 10:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.  I have my parents in the exceptions list, so if they call at 2:00 a.m. with an emergency, my phone will ring.  My buddy John, however, who may drunk dial me at 3:00 a.m. will not wake me since the phone is silenced and he is not on the exceptions list.  I also own a business with 70+ employees who tend to call at any hour of the day/night.  I don't need to be woken up at 2:30 a.m. from John Doe who is calling out for the day, but if my aunt has an emergency, since she is on the exceptions list, the phone will ring.
    Is there a functionality within the phone, or is there a similar application avaialble for the iPhone?  I have asked at the Verizon dealers, but I've never gotten a straight answer.  My Droid is nearing its end and I'd like to replace with an iPhone, but because my family is older and I have numerous people who call at any hour I NEED this application.  Please advise!
    Thanks in advance!

    It will be baked into iOS 6 when it's released this fall.
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#phone
    It's called "Do Not Disturb".
    3rd party apps don't have access to the functions necessary to do this.

  • Is there a way to see in itunes all of the games available for the iphone

    I am trying to find a list of all the games available for the iphone.  I have gone into the app store and click the games link but all I can find is the main games page that lets you see "What's hot", "What we are playing" etc.  Does anyone know if there is somewhere on itunes that I can get a complete list?

  • Is iWork available for the iPhone?

    I read somewhere that iWork could be made available for the iPhone. Does anyone know of this happening?
    cheers!

    Personally, I would sync it through my computer to make sure it's "backed up" to the computer.
    If iWork for iOS is already on your computer, connect the iPhone and make sure it has the latest iOS on it (4.3.3, Summary Tab - Check for Update).
    Then you should be able to sync the Apps to it: Devices - Your iPhone > Apps Tab > Sync Apps > Select the Apps.
    If it is not on your computer yet, connect your iPad and in iTunes, File Menu - Transfer Purchases from "Your device".  Then eject the iPad, connect the iPhone and sync as above.
    Having said all that, if you are on the iPhone, authorized with the same iTunes Store account you used to purchase the app, you should be able to just click the buy button and it will see you already bought it and prompt you to download it again for free.  See: How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    Hope that helps,
