Since first unveiling Apple Intelligence in 2024, Apple has been promising a new, improved, cutting-edge, AI-powered Siri. Over the past year and a half, the release date for this new era of Siri has been pushed back again and again. According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, it looks like we’ll have to wait even longer.
The new Siri was expected to launch with the iOS 26.4 update scheduled for March, but changes are now expected to roll out more slowly over time. Some features will reportedly be delayed until the May iOS update or even the September iOS 27 release. Apparently, Apple ran into problems while testing the software and had to push the release date back further.
There are rumors that these changes will make long-used digital assistants like the LLM chatbots that have taken the tech world by storm. But instead of opening the ChatGPT or Claude app on your iPhone or MacBook, you’ll be able to talk to Siri, powered by Google Gemini.
We’re starting to feel sorry for Siri product managers. Be patient, everyone.
