Hello everyone!
Thanks to a family member, I recently received an iPhone 4. Such a pretty phone and I absolutely love it, but I've always had a question about this one versus the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 that no one has been able to answer, particularly because Apple has never specifically given the reason. Simple question, why does the iPhone 4 not support Siri? I don't find Siri all that useful honestly, and I don't particularly want it or anything; but I've always been curious as to why the 4S had it and why the 4 did not. I've heard a slew of suggestions, accusations, and theories, but the one I'm sticking with is my own. My theory is that the A4 Chip (single core, 1GHz underclocked to 800MHz), could hypothetically support Siri, but due to the lack of a second core, performance would suffer, and therefore is does not have Siri, at least not natively.
What are your thoughts? Does anyone know something I don't? Remember this is just sheer curiosity here.
EDIT: And thanks for your time/answers. Always greatly appreciated.
