My god they talk down to the reader like they are incompetent fools. Turns out it’s the exact method Apple details in their Siri privacy settings, so no, it’s not this impossible task that no one but your friends at the verge could find.
So halfway down the page after a bunch of filler, there is a segment on how to delete your Siri data. This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc.

Troughton-Smith told 9to5 Mac that he won’t take part in distributing the completed Siri port, since it will require pushing Apple-owned files, but he wouldn’t be surprised if the quasi-legal software made its way to the public. 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. But his port still lacked the crucial ability to talk with Apple’s servers, through which most of Siri’s functionality runs.īut the hacker still has a way to go before the port is readily available:Īt 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. Troughton-Smith made headlines soon after the iPhone 4S launch by being the first to make Siri available on the iPhone 4 (right now Siri is exclusive to Apple’s newest iPhone, the 4S). Hacker Steven Troughton-Smith was able to trick the iPhone 4 and latest-generation iPod Touch into successfully communicating with Apple’s servers thanks to a recent iPhone 4S jailbreak, which gave him access to new files integral to Siri’s functionality, 9to5 Mac reports.
