With Siri’s next update now expected in May after some delay, it’s possible the virtual assistant’s bigger AI overhaul won’t arrive until 2027. The update for a more radically modernized Siri update is facing setbacks, according to Bloomberg. Apple initially announced a revamped Siri at WWDC in June 2024, but that update has been delayed about 11 months due to bugs. That not only impacts the release of new Siri features in iOS 19 – expected at WWDC 2025 in June – but also creates a ripple effect on Apple’s broader AI ambitions for iOS 20 and beyond.
According to the report, Siri in iOS 18 essentially has two separate systems. One is for classic Siri commands, such as setting timers and making calls, and another handles more advanced queries using user data. However, Apple Intelligence must rely on these two systems working together.
