“Siri exclusivity on Verizon and Android was apparently so close to becoming a reality that there are unreleased commercials made by the carrier that show off Siri as an Android feature.”

“Siri eventually debuted in late 2011 as a built-in feature on the iPhone 4S. Apple’s purchase of Siri first became known publicly in April of 2010.”

“While Siri started out as an iPhone-exclusive feature, it has since expanded to the iPad and iPod touch. The voice-controlled assistant offers information such as weather, dictation, sports scores, calendar entries and more.”

What would the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone be today if the company had missed out on the Siri deal? Can you picture all those Siri commercials featuring an Android device? It may be hard to imagine right now, but a few years ago this was close to being reality.
