- Apple delayed Siri smarter, infused at AI and says that it will arrive “in the coming year”.
- Since the beginnings of Apple Intelligence, we have been waiting to try the most intelligent Siri with access to applications
- “”It will take us more time than we thought to offer these features “
We are all waiting for Apple to abandon Siri’s important upgrade which had to arrive at a given moment in the iOS 18 life cycle. This goes beyond the colored brilliance of Siri all around the screen which has been here since the launch of the iPhone 16 range in September 2024 and was promised to make the virtual assistant smarter, more useful and a much better conversationalist.
However, our hopes were considerably reduced with iOS 18.4 arriving as a public developer and beta without new Siri. This is particularly true after many reports and rumors suggested that Apple plans to publish the new Siri – at least the first taste – in the spring.
Now, however, Apple has confirmed to Fireball daring that Siri’s significant upgrade is delayed: “It will take us more time than we thought to offer these features, and we plan to deploy them in the coming year.” These features included Siri in a personal context and the possibility of seeing, understanding and controlling various applications on your device.
Apple initially announced the Siri upgrade with a personal context to the main keynote WWDC 2024 (Conference of developers from around the world) on June 10 without an exact release date in writing, but that it would arrive in the coming months.
The declaration at Daring Apple Reads entirely: “Siri helps our users find what they need and get things done quickly, and in the past six months, we have made Siri more conversational, introduces new features such as type in Siri and product knowledge, and added integration with chatgpt. We have also worked on a more personalized SIRI, which gave it more awareness of your personal context, as well as the possibility of acting for you inside and through your applications. It will take us more time than we thought to offer these features and we plan to deploy them in the coming year. »»

Apple has deployed many Apple intelligence features, but even this major upgrade to Siri, which would have put it on the same playground as the Voice Chatgpt mode of Openai or Gemini Live, was a real headliner. Writing tools, notification summaries and cleaning on photos, among others, are all useful, as is Siri’s ability to provide technological support. Even thus, the really smarter Siri would have been the real meat and the potatoes of the intelligence of apples.
It is also a rare entry of Apple, but strong communication and transparency with level expectations at the moment when these features are finally experienced. I imagine even more for people waiting for him to drop – me being one of them – and who have invested in devices capable of executing Apple Intelligence. It is equal to the cancellation of air power, the “antennagate” of the iPhone 4 and the reasting of the Apple cards.
Further away, It is worth giving this play by the editor of Techradar to Lance Ulanoff a reading With this Apple declaration providing an additional context – Apple’s confidentiality first and a more cautious approach with AI and Apple Intelligence did not make favorites, writing “Yes, I understand that Apple is the platform and the most unpublished and secure consumption ecosystem. Part of their AI strategy revolves around the calculation of the private cloud. But what does this locked vapor do for us?
It is worth reading now in the light of the confirmed delay. At least Apple is always determined to deploy this new SIRI with a personal context and access to applications. In addition, it is clear that they are committed to doing things well … Even if it takes more time.
It is certain to say that the issues will be even higher at the conference of developers of the world in 2025 and with iOS 19, both are probably in three months, because the event is generally in the first two weeks of June.
This story is developing …
