It came as a bit of a blow to iPhone 4 owners when the iPhone 4S was released boasting the brilliant new Siri. Unfortunately, the Apple Gods did not see fit to bestow the new personal assistant feature on any of the iPhone 4S’ predecessors. Lucky for those iPhone 4 owners, there is a way to install Siri on your device running iOS 5.1.1.

Please note:

  • For the method to work, your device must first be Jailbroken. For help Jailbreaking your iPhone 4 you can follow one of our help guides HERE.
  • The actual install of Spite onto your device can take up to 20 minutes, for this reason ensure it is connected to WiFi.
