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.
I don't know, but there is still only 4A9 on the 405ke
it's just an update to 4S due to connection problems

In the article it is stated that it is a LEN update for 4S on the basis of which the whole can be used Siri put the port in scarier devices via jailbreak since apple did not encrypt the necessary data ….
I guess I don't understand it a bit so that I can Siri also use for Iphone 4 do I need to jailbreak?
So I can date you. Siri on iPad 2???
Only if you have iOS 5 jailbroken and there is no such option for iPad 2 yet.
headline like a nice boulevard
I do not know… Siri is a great thing for technology demos, but practically? After all, with every crack it immediately connects somewhere and asks backend servers... Aren't there enough of those "big brothers"? It must be terribly easy to monitor these requests and extract sensitive data from them... And where do we have a guarantee that this won't happen? Thanks, I'm not interested...
Clover is already after you
2 Franta Clover:
Yes, yes, Mr. Franto, every hacker in this world wants to have access to your contact list. They all wish they couldoneThey actually got your brother/sister/mom's number...
What can I tell you about that?
You have a mobile phone in your hand that sends data through some servers, and the internet works in the same way on the computer from which you are currently writing. Cameras follow you every step of the way... Do you really think that anyone is interested in your name, surname, or perhaps your phone number?
The only thing people really care about is your credit card number, and as you know, it is not accessible to servers other than the one where it is stored.
I would sum it up in one sentence - yes, if you are paranoid enough to worry about your contact list then enough of the "big brothers" are enough.
Personally, I don't care at all. No offense, I'm just turned on by the talk about privacy.
I condemn JB as such...now I mean the one that someone downloads the installer and gets theirs for free...but this is the reason why I would throw it in there...I don't want to buy an iPhone 4S just to change my phone to an iPhone 5 in half a year, so I'll make do with the 4 for now, but if it was SIRI ported right here, that would be awesome..
2Everyone: Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you ;) But otherwise, I don't really care... SIRI It doesn't seem like something I need...
Well, I don't know about you, but I still have v iPhone 4S version 5.0.1 – 9A405 and neither iTunes nor SW Update directly in iPhone it does not offer me a newer version, while you claim in the article that a newer version 15.12.2011 – 5.0.1A9 was sent on 406
So how do I get it? iPhone 4S get?
It is the so-called A silent update that should hit the iPhone 4S if you follow the instructions in this article :-) at least that's what they claim Apple.
