And so, it’s official. Apple says it will not be bringing its Siri voice assistant to the iPhone 4 or iPod touch. Both devices have been hacked to work with the iPhone 4S-only tech in recent weeks, with gossip emerging that Cupertino was testing Siri on the iPhone 4 ahead of a planned release.
But Apple’s engineering department have slapped down such talk, saying on the company’s official forum that “Siri only works on iPhone 4S and we currently have no plans to support older devices”. And for my money, that’s great news. Because it’s time we moved on and left Siri time to prove whether it’s really a worthwhile feature.
Siri, Apple’s iPhone 4S-only voice assistant, has been hacked to work on other iDevices before.

Siri, Apple’s ever-popular voice assistant, might only be officially available on the iPhone 4S. But now a new hack has helped put Apple’s latest iOS feature onto the iPod touch. The move comes just days after the iPhone 4 and iPad were both hacked to work with the assistant function. Read on to see just how well it works.
