Since first introducing Apple Intelligence in 2024, Apple has been promising a new and improved top-notch AI-powered Siri. Since then, the release date for this new era of Siri has been constantly pushed back. According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, we may have to wait even longer.
While the new Siri was expected to launch with the upcoming iOS 26.4 update in March, the changes are now expected to roll out more slowly over time, reportedly delaying some features until the May iOS update or even the release of iOS 27 in September. Apple apparently ran into problems testing the software that required pushing the launch date even further.
The changes are said to make the longtime digital assistant more akin to the LLM chatbots that have taken the tech world by storm — but instead of opening ChatGPT or Claude on your iPhone or MacBook, you could just talk to Siri, which will be powered by Google Gemini.
We’re starting to get a bad feeling about Siri’s product managers. Hang in there guys.
