According to Smith, the software runs fairly well, evident in the demonstration video below. <\/p>\n<p>PCMag claim Siri has the potential to work on an iPhone 4, if Apple wanted it to. Siri requires access to server-side software to determine what inquisitions are being yelled into the phone. Since the servers sit on Apple&#8217;s end, they verify what kind of phone the request is being made from, and are actively rejecting any Siri requests from any phone other than an iPhone 4S. <\/p>\n<p>Without access to the server, Siri is just a space-wasting application.<\/p>\n<p>With iOS introducing the least amount of innovations yet, Apple are banking that Siri will be a big enough draw for customers to ditch their old iPhone 4 for a slightly different iPhone 4S.<\/p>\n<p><iframe height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N-OnZCywaII\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hacker has proven Siri has the potential to work on Apple&#8217;s iPhone 4, but its servers are actively rejecting any Siri requests that originate from a phone other than its new iPhone 4S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":95061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive","category-internet","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
