Some users of iPhone 4S are complaining about encountering some problems with the voice assistant and its connection to Apple Servers. Also when asking iPhone 4 Siri to do anything you want, Siri will give you the answer “sorry, I have problems when connecting to the server”, these Siri problems are due to the bad network connectivity issues to make a connection to the Apple servers or there might be even some problems with servers. Hopefully that Apple will do something at the next iOS update and fix all these connectivity problems.

A terminal went through this process can still use the App Store and iTunes.

Results jailbreak process differs from a SIM unlock, which only allows the user to use any network device. According to Apple, OS changes may void the warranty, although the device can be restored to factory settings via iTunes.

Cydia founder Jay Freeman estimates that over 10% of iPhones have received jail-breaking.
