Now users can even take full use of Siri with their voice. However, Siri is still disappointing, not for its functions, but for its limited support. Among all old Apple devices, only iPhone 4S can make full use of the new Siri. In order words, users can not even make their devices like iPhone 4 and iPad 2 smarter after carrying out the update from iOS 5 to iOS 6. Therefore, the only choice left for them is to get the latest Apple devices. For those people, the iOS 6 systems without latest Siri is quite disappointing.
