> Hell, the 3GS is getting iOS 6

Do you know how much of it will be enabled? (e.g. will it have Siri working out of the box?)

(Genuine question, btw.)

It won't get Siri. Even on iOS5 only the 4S supports Siri.

As far as I'm aware this is a deliberate disabling thing as the original Siri app worked on earlier models (maybe not the 3GS but the 4).

No Siri (still), and I'm fairly sure I heard no 3D maps.

I'd be very surprised if iOS 6 included Siri for the 3GS (or even the 4, for that matter).

This is just a guess, but since the iPhone 4 currently doesn't support Siri, I doubt the 3GS would.
