Siri can only get better the more people use it, right? Why would they limit the number of people using said feature?
Got a tip for us?

He's been saying that for the past few years and there is still no evidence whatsoever that Apple are even planning to make a television. The guy's a clown.
no way
apple won't restrict software features, because that doesn't save them money -- the entire point of this device. in fact it would cost them money to do that. nope.

No way in hell Siri will be left off the iPhone 5C (or whatever). It ain't happening, if Apple put siri on the iPad mini and 5th gen iPod Touch then it will definitely be present on the plastic iPhone also.
On another note this phone is aimed at mass sale in China, and Apple has put serious effort into making Siri speak Mandarin, so I can't imagine they will keep Siri off the phone.

Everyone will probably tar and feather me for this but I still have a hard time believing that a iPhone '5c' will be announced. Except for the device power connectors and apple tv, Apple doesn't do plastic in its current lineup. Why start now? It lessens the brand. IMO all of these leaks just appear to be cheap knock offs.
It is not the first time!
It is not the first time that the Munster is wrong
He appeared on CNBC Squawk Box before!

No Siri in 5C seems like a rather odd prediction. If it is replacing the 4S (which touted Siri as the key feature of the 4S), it makes no sense to not have it in the 5C.
As far as the fingerprint functionality in the 5S is concerned, I believe that's the best Apple could do in a year. They'll surely add more functionality (secure payments, passbook integration) with time. Probably its another beta that will be constantly upgraded with each version of iOS.

The only reason I would give a thought to such a stupid claim is that this phone was alleged to be geared more for "emerging markets" where they don't have data plans and speeds the way we do.
But then... why would anyone in such a market buy an iPhone that's the most used internet mobile device out there? Nevermind. The analyst is just an idiot like all the others.
