Personal assistant to Applu, named Siri is currently the currency of only one product of this company and the team is iPhone 4S. This is a very good marketing move, since the new model of the popular smartphone is visually indistinguishable from the older iPhone 4. Consequently, the company from Cupertino had to add a small software element in addition to improving and modernizing the hardware to give customers a reason to exchange their iZariadenie for a newer version. And the idea of ​​a phone that can communicate with you took off so well that over 4,000,000 units were sold in just the first week of its launch iPhone 4S.

On the other hand, however, there remained many dissatisfied owners of older models. Because Siri it processes all data on a remote server, the only thing required to be functional is an internet connection. As a result, it needs almost no processing power and would run on almost all without problems iOS devices. Therefore, it mainly depends on hackers, whether they will be able to solve this problem in an official way.

Well, until yesterday's release, the latest version iOS 5.0.1 with code designation (9A406), intended only for iPhone 4S, it seemed impossible. Apple namely, with this revision, it offered trouble-free access to the main system files that were previously encrypted. MuscleNerd, a prominent person in Jailbreak, commented that with this he was able to decrypt the ramdisk and get the necessary boot data Siri port to older devices, without infringing any copyrights Appyou.

In the last few weeks, there were already several methods that enabled the operation Siri on older products, but they were all illegal and quite often unusable. Because for the smooth operation of the personal assistant, you need a unique identifier that is verified directly on the servers  Applu. The only current model that has it in it is so far only iPhone 4S. Well, if even one of them were to be misused, it would be if several thousand devices were connected at once Apple easily detected his code and blocked him.

Summary

Hard to say if that Apple did he do it on purpose or was he just mistaken. Maybe he wanted to prepare us the most beautiful Christmas present, which will probably come with next year's arrival iOS 5.1 will re-package it and become illegal. Anyway, it's a big surprise and surely hackers won't hesitate long to release a legal port Siri, to older jailbroken iDevices.
