On: Apple: Siri Only Works On iPhone 4S, We Have No Plans To Support Older Devices

[sjs]

Here in Canada where the oligopoly of telcos locks you into 3 year contracts many people in my family still use their 3GS. In fact everyone in my immediate family with an iPhone has the 3GS (as did I until May when mine broke). Also worth noting that the 3GS has been sold up until this very day.

Some Canadians have been upgrading from the iPhone 3G this fall as well, which was sold up until summer 2010. My coworker just got a 4S and gave his 3G to his mom who now loves it.

I have no idea what it's like in SF and other similar places but there's a big world outside of California.

Yep, can't stress this point enough and I don't know if its specific to Canada or not.

I just got off my contract with a 3G iPhone in September of this year. That phone was really starting to show it's age.
