Siri Successfully Connected To Apple’s Servers On iPhone 4

Siri on iPhone 4g, 3gs, iPod 3g, 4g, ipad 1, 2 finally coming.Yes, you read it absolutely right! A couple of hackers successfully got Siri connecting to Apple’s servers on an iPhone 4. The news comes from the iPhone developer Steven Troughton-Smith who was the first to be able to port Siri on iPhone 4 two weeks ago.

The well-known iPhone developer, @chpwn, worked with Troughton-Smith on Siri on iPhone 4. Chpwn tweeted that they’ve made great progress, then, after few minutes, he said “Actually, it just worked.”
Troughton-Smith posted a screenshot from his iPhone 4 showing Siri responding and fully connected to Apple’s servers. That’s great news to everyone who owns an old device and want to get Siri on it. And of course, it’s a jailbroken iPhone 4 running iOS 5.



Now what? Well, you’ll surely need to wait some more time but not a lot. We’ll be back with guides as soon as the essential tools available for download. Follow me on Google+ and Twitter to get the news the moment it’s on the web!

UPDATE 1: iPhone developer Chpwn showed Siri running on iPod touch 4G:



UPDATE 2: The guys over 9to5mac could get an exclusive video that shows Siri fully working on an iPhone 4 compared to the iPhone 4S too.




Moreover, Mark Gurman interviewed the developer. Full interview below:
Mark: Where do you go from here with the port?
Steven: At this point it’s all about confirming this works across devices, making it reproducible (we got it working on two devices today), and documenting everything. It does require files from an iPhone 4S which aren’t ours to distribute, and it also requires a validation token from the iPhone 4S that has to be pulled live from a jailbroken iPhone 4S, and it’s about a 20-step process right now.
Mark: In its current state, is the port 100% functional, is there anything you would like to see work better?
Steven: Yes, it seems to be 100% functional. I’m working on the rough edges, but everything that works on the iPhone 4S seems to work here
Mark: Do you ever see Siri showing up in Cydia (or another jailbreak store) for non natively supported devices?
Steven: No, I could not be a part of that. I have no doubts that others will package this up and distribute it quasi-illegally, or try and sell it to people. I am only interested in the technology and making it work; proving that it works and works well on the iPhone 4 and other devices
Mark: So, you also got Siri working on the fourth-generation iPod touch, how is that working out?
Steven: We got chpwn’s iPod touch up and running with Siri after proving it works on my iPhone 4. Unfortunately the microphone on the iPod is nowhere near as good as the iPhone – you will notice that the Siri level meter hardly moves when you talk to it. While it does work, you have to speak loudly and clearly to the iPod
Mark: How long did porting take you, what was the “I got it” moment?
Steven: Basically, I already had everything I needed to make it work. I had spent a lot of time mapping out in my head exactly how Siri works on the iPhone. All I needed was access to a jailbroken iPhone 4S to put my hunch to the test. It literally took no longer than 10 minutes to put all the pieces in place and perform our first test on my iPhone 4, and it was an instant success.
