Apple Takes Steps to Block Siri on Unauthorized Devices?

Apple may be taking steps to block Siri on unauthorized devices, according reports circulating online.

Wolvy, a moderator on iHackMyi, reports that a new "SetActivationToken" has disabled Siri for most users.

Previously, you only needed Spire, a host and a certificate and you were away. Now Apple have added a "SetActivationToken" which has disabled Siri for almost everyone on illegitimate devices.

A temporary (hopefully) workaround of deleting "com.apple.assistant.plist" from the device appears to resolve the issue for now, but will this become another game of cat and mouse for apple, just like in Jailbreaking?

For those experiencing the issue you can use iFile to delete the /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.assistant.plist file.

We'll let you know if any further information on the issue comes to light.
