Apple has promised a new-and-improved, cutting-edge, AI-powered Siri from the very beginning revealed Apple Intelligence in 2024. Over half a year since then, the release date for this new era of Siri has been constantly pushed back. According to new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, we’ll be waiting a little longer.
While the new Siri is expected to launch with the upcoming iOS 26.4 update in March, for now, the changes are expected to roll out slowly, reportedly delaying some features until the May iOS update, or even until the release of iOS 27 in September. Apparently, Apple ran into trouble while testing the software, requiring the launch date to be pushed back.
These changes are rumored to make long-standing digital assistants like the LLM chatbots that have swept the tech world – but instead of opening the ChatGPT or Claude app on your iPhone or MacBook, you can just talk to Siri, which will be powered by Google Gemini.
We’re starting to feel bad for Siri’s product manager. Hang in there, people.
