Apple: “We Currently Have No Plans To Bring Siri To Older Devices”

Most of you have read the news about that Apple is testing Siri on older iOS devices and that has been confirmed by 9to5mac yesterday but the site claimed that Apple won’t be releasing Siri for iPhone 4. If you had any doubts, just get them away.

Apple today confirmed to Michael Steeber, the founder of MSComputerVideos, that they have no plans to bring Siri to older devices.

Steeber contacted Apple about bringing Siri to other devices by releasing an iOS software update, and Apple replied back by saying “we currently have no plans to support older devices.”

Here’s Apple’s reply:

Engineering has provided the following feedback regarding this issue:Siri only works on iPhone 4S and we currently have no plans to support older devices.

9to5mac added:

That doesn’t mean however that developers won’t continue to work on building Siri for later iOS device — like the iPhone 4 and 3GS.

As previously told, and now confirmed, Siri won’t be enabled on iPhone 4 and other older devices except when an iPhone 4S jailbreak comes so now let’s hope hackers get it soon.

Chronic Dev Team: Bug Found In iOS 5 That Could Bring Untethered Jailbreak

There is finally some good news for users who want an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.

iPhone hacker pod2g of the Chronic Dev Team has just announced that he has discovered a bug in iOS 5 that could help in developing an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.

pod2g announced the discovery of the bug via the following tweet:

Hey jailbreaking friends, I've found a bug that can untether iOS 5. Don't expect a release soon, but I'm gonna work hard in it.

It is not clear whether the bug also exists in iOS 5.0.1 beta that Apple has seeded to developers of iOS developer program. pod2g also hasn't mentioned if the untethered jailbreak will work on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.

iPhone Dev team and iH8sn0w have released Redsn0w and Sn0wbreeze to jailbreak iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 betas, but they only support a tethered jailbreak. BigBoss has also developed a hack called SemiTether that allows users to reboot their tethered jailbroken iOS 5 device without the need to connect it to the computer, but it has some limitations. So many users especially iPhone users have been eagerly waiting for an untethered jailbreak.

pod2g also hasn't provided an ETA on when the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 will be released, but with Apple expected to release iOS 5.0.1 very soon, we expect the Chronic Dev team to release the untethered jailbreak only after iOS 5.0.1 is released. They will probably release a new version of greenpois0n - their popular jailbreak tool, which supports the untethered jailbreak.
