The new version of Siri Voice assistant with artificial intelligence, which Apple introduced at WWDC 2024, could only be released in the spring of 2026, Bloomberg's report. In March, Apple postponed the launch, promising the issue “next year”.
According to rumors, Siri with AI's support will become part of the iOS 26.4 update. Apple imagine how Siri updated will be able to understand the context, perform actions in applications, find information in letters and insert photos into documents – all this without the participation of users.
However, as representatives of the company admitted in an interview for Wall Street Journal, Siri did not meet Apple's quality standards. In addition, according to Bloomberg, the company inside the company has disagreements between marketing and engineers – who will blame the delay.
Therefore, Apple became more careful: on WWDC 2025, AI's topic almost never increased. So far, the closest functions to Siri have appeared in Spotlight updated on MacOS 26.
