Eager to try these SIRI features fed by the AI announced last year? Sorry, you’ll have to wait until next year.
Like Bloomberg reportsCiting sources familiar with development, Apple now targets a version of spring 2026 for certain Siri features for a long time delayed. This includes Siri’s ability to press the personal context of users and take measures according to what is displayed on the screen.
In a WWDC 24 demo, an Apple director asked Siri details of their mother’s flight. Siri scanned their mother’s email to find information on the flight, then checked online status before providing an answer.

This version of an advanced Siri was to arrive with iOS 18. However, in March, Apple said“” It will take us more time than we thought to offer these features, and we plan to deploy them in the coming year. “”
While “the coming year” could have suggested 2025, Apple said earlier this week that it meant 2026.
Bloomberg now reports that the update will arrive with iOS 26.4. Historically, the update “.4” for iOS arrived in March, and we can expect iOS 26.
For the delay, Apple blamed Siri’s underlying V1 V1 architecture. The team working on SIRI noted “that the limits of architecture V1 did not bring us to the quality level we know of our customers and we are waiting for,” said Craig Federighi, the boss of Apple software, in a interview After the WWDC 2025.

Once the company has carried out the problems, it went to the V2. Federighi described him as “architecture from start to finish that we knew, it was ultimately what we wanted to create to achieve the complete whole of capacities that we wanted for Siri.” A previous report also suggested that things have started to collapse when Apple tried to integrate the old Siri code with a new one.
The wait for a continuous supercharged SIRI. In the meantime, Apple also has to face the proceedings that arise from its inability to publish these features in time.
