H1Siri port is not only illegal, but it doesn’t work
It appears that there is a new Siri port developed by a group of Chinese hackers who call themselves the CD-Dev Team. However it appears that this port was not meant for public consumption, but somehow the code was leaked and now the whole internet is just buzzing over this port.
It’s been dubbed “H1Siri” (Hi Siri!) and it appears that attempting to port this Siri hack onto your iPhone 4 does more harm that good. For those who have not been following the Siri porting attempts, it should be noted that porting Siri over onto other iOS devices is constituted as piracy as it would require the copying of code. Most of the attempts that you’ve seen on YouTube and the internet have mostly been for demonstrative purposes with no intention to release them to the public.
If that bit of legal caveat has not put you off, here’s something that might. It appears that H1Siri does not work. Many developers have bravely attempted to install this port on their devices and have come back reporting a wealth of problems that frankly doesn’t seem worth it. There have been complaints of the camera not functioning, random reboots, bricking of the phone, causing the phone to be stuck at the Apple logo while booting up and even messing up the Settings app
So why would we share with you guys a port that doesn’t even work? Well, we’d like to think of it as fair warning should you guys decide that maybe this is something you’d like to try for yourselves. Given the whole legal mess that you might be getting yourself into, not to mention the numerous problems, it just doesn’t seem like a very smart move.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
