It is both software and hardware.
1. The software side is the iPhone Side.
a. Siri is installed onto the iPhone at the Apple Manufacturing Plant and is then shipped out to you.
b. The iPhone and the Siri servers communicate over the iPhone's 3G network
2. The hardware side are the Siri Servers.
a. Apple runs and upkeeps servers at some location which provide responses to the iPhone and allow you to use Siri.
b. The servers and Siri communicate over the iPhone's 3G network.
So the answer is both.
Siri - software - was created on 2011-08-09.
When you shut your phone off, Siri becomes inactive along with the device. The software and hardware that enable Siri to function are powered down, so it cannot respond to voice commands or perform tasks. Once you turn your phone back on, Siri will be available again, ready to assist you.
'Siri' is a piece of software Siri is not a physical object, merely electronic.
A VDU is hardware.
Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, doesn't have a physical location as it exists in the cloud and runs on Apple's servers. It operates across various Apple devices, like iPhones, iPads, and Macs, using internet connectivity to provide responses and assistance. Essentially, Siri "lives" in the software and hardware ecosystem of Apple products.
A scanner is both hardware and software, the device itself is hardware (all devices are hardware) but the driver(a program) that runs it is software.

A microphone is hardware. Software is what programs and games are called.
Motherboards are hardware components, not software.
Have to be hardware. How could you write software if there were no hardware to write it on?
both a hardware and software
Software. Short and sweet. Hardware needs software to work.
