Apple Intelligence, Apple’s much-hyped set of generative AI features, was meant to overhaul its on-device assistant widely seen as being behind the competition. Now, an AI-focused update for Siri that was meant to launch last year, won’t surface until 2026.
As reported by Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to launch the AI Siri update during the first half of next year. iOS 26.4 is seen as the target for the revamped device assistant, with iOS 26 set to launch this spring in Australia.
When Apple announced Apple Intelligence in 2024, it claimed that Siri would be “more deeply integrated into the system experience.” Like Samsung’s Galaxy AI and Google’s Gemini technologies, it was meant to have on-screen context awareness and cross-app functionality. That largely hasn’t happened yet, while Apple continues work on getting Siri to the company’s “high quality bar”, as mentioned by Craig Federighi during the WWDC keynote.
