Anything less than the 4S is getting screwed. Customers are losing features if they purchase older hardware, as Apple selectively disables features based on hardware requirements, etc. Siri, Navigation, etc. If you (or someone you know…

There is so much prior art for this it's unreal. Ford Sync has been around for YEARS already, despite whenever this was filed. I'm so tired of patent ridiculousness.
