I have a hard time thinking Apple is willing to leave that money on the table just to try to sell a few more devices.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason I believe Apple could be working on this in the background is the jailbreak efforts.\u00a0 Many of us, myself included, will be more then happen to install this on our devices once the technological issues and legal issues with porting Siri are worked out. Keep in mind that just because you can place the files on you device does not mean you have the right to. But this legal point may not be enough to stop most people on jailbreak devices which mean Apple could have a whole sub population accessing Siri that is outside of their control or at least create a new cat and mouse game as Apple tries to block older device and jailbreakers find ways to cloak their way back in.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell of course, but I would in no way say this is the final word on the issue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H3>Related Posts<\/H3><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Why MS Cortana is a minor threat to Apple&#8217;s Siri, for now.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2015\/05\/why-ms-cortana-is-a-minor-threat-to-apples-siri-for-now\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Why MS Cortana is a minor threat to Apple&#8217;s Siri, for now.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Review of Ivee, the talking voice actuation alarm clock\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2012\/12\/review-of-ivee-the-talking-voice-actuation-alarm-clock\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Review of Ivee, the talking voice actuation alarm clock<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"How to get Siri voice to read notification banners through jailbreak.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2012\/10\/how-to-get-siri-voice-read-notification-banners-jailbreak\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">How to get Siri voice to read notification banners through jailbreak.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Google Now to compete with Siri, and it might be better through prediction\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perivision.net\/wordpress\/2012\/06\/google-now-to-compete-with-siri-and-i-might-be-better-through-prediction\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Google Now to compete with Siri, and it might be better through prediction<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Tiananmen Square?
