Siri Can Run on iPhone4!

By

With everyone raving over iPhone 4S and Siri, and not everyone willing to part with their relatively newly bought iPhone 4, it was only a matter of time before someone thought of finding a way to get Siri to run on older iPhone models.

Well it seems that that someone is Steve Troughton-Smith of Dublin, Ireland. 9to5Mac reported that Troughton-Smith, who has been working exclusively with them to find a way to port Siri on the iPhone 4, has been successful at the task.
In the video showing an iPhone 4 with the iPhone4S’ Siri and Springboard files ported in, it is plain to see that it is indeed possible for Siri to work on the older iPhone 4 model. This then puts into question why Apple just doesn’t allow iPhone4 users to download Siri or at least go to Apple Centers for an upgrade, saving everyone valuable money (except Apple of course), and lessening the environmental impact that switching to newer phone models always lead to (Oh the waste!).

According to 9to5Mac, the port is still not flawless since Apple does not authenticate “commands to its servers from the iPhone 4 hardware”, which is obviously unlikely to happen anytime soon. Siri’s voice is also “sluggish” on the iPhone 4 compared to the iPhone 4S, due to a GPU driver that is lacking in the older phone model. They, however, say that they are working on making the Siri iPhone4 port better, which results is something we really look forward to.

Are You Ready for the iPhone 5’s Release?

By

When the Fall rolls around, every geek around the world gets excited about the newest release by Apple – since a few years, the focus has been on the iPhone which has been seeing a new release every year since its original inception. This year is special though – the iPhone 5 is pretty much set to fix everything that was wrong with the previous versions, and establish Apple’s name on the mobile market for good. It’s been a bumpy road, but all of Apple’s fans are eagerly awaiting the new Holy Grail of gadgets.

Any true geek is already planning what they’ll be doing with their own copy of the new toy – it’ll be great for pretty much everything that a smartphone has to do these days. Browsing is, of course, a main feature – and with the added multitasking capabilities it’s going to be even more convenient and easy to do. There are some rumors that Apple have put extra special effort into coming up with a solid music playback system in the new iPhone, though the rumors about an integrated audio modulating chip still haven’t been confirmed.

The new screen looks like it’s going to please many people too – the added protection and the extra picture clarity (inheriting from the already successful previous incarnations of the device) are going to pretty much swipe the competition at once. There will inevitably be some great Vodafone iPhone 5 deals available as soon as the device rolls out as well, so you should be able to get it at a reasonable price. So, are you hyped up for one of this year’s most important events in the geek community?
