Apple fans have long braced for a smarter version of Siri powered by advanced artificial intelligence (AI).
The tech giant has teased deeper integration with third-party apps and screen-aware functionality, suggesting a more powerful Siri.
When the iPhone maker first announced an AI-enhanced Siri at WWDC over a year ago, the tech community came under a frenzy.
The company promised a virtual assistant that could learn from users’ behaviour — including emails, messages, files, and photos — to offer more personalised and contextual responses.
As iOS 18 arrived without the AI upgrades which enthusiasts had been looking for, expectations for an AI-powered siri update subdued.
A new report has now confirmed that the rollout of the enhanced Siri has been postponed until autumn, meaning its release will likely coincide with that of iOS 19.
Apple is said to be facing technical and privacy-related challenges in embedding generative AI into Siri. The company is reportedly investing additional time to fine-tune its AI models, ensure data privacy, and deliver a stable, reliable experience.
While the delay must have dejected users, Apple seems committed to releasing a refined and fully functional upgrade instead of rushing it out unfinished.
