Apple has been promising Siri with new and improved cutting-edge AI ever since it first announced Apple Intelligence in 2024. Since then, for about a year and a half, the release date for this new age of Siri has continued to be pushed back. We’ll probably have to wait even longer, according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Garman.
The new Siri was expected to be released with the iOS 26.4 update in March, but now the changes are expected to roll out gradually over time, with some features reportedly delayed until the May iOS update or even the release of iOS 27 in September. Apparently, Apple ran into issues while testing the software, which forced them to push the release date back even further.
This change is rumored to bring the long-standing digital assistant closer to the LLM chatbots that have taken the tech world by storm, but instead of opening the ChatGPT or Claude apps on your iPhone or MacBook, you’ll be able to just talk to Google Gemini-powered Siri.
We’re starting to feel sorry for Siri’s product manager. Everyone, please wait a moment.
