Apple Siri AI was not part of the WWDC 2025 keynote event and the company is working at pace to have it ready for 2026.
Apple’s Siri AI upgrade is not launching before early 2026
Apple’s Siri AI got a brief mention at the WWDC 2025 earlier this month which clearly meant the company did not have anything meaningful to share at the event. Apple did tease that we could see the Siri AI-powered version release some time next year, without giving a clearer timeline. We might finally know the details about when the Siri AI could be released and offered to the iPhone users in 2026.
The report from Bloomberg suggests the new Siri AI release could be part of the iOS 26.4 version that may be offered around March and April 2026 for the iPhone users. Apple has toned down its AI intelligence features, so much that the term itself did not make any trivia rounds this year.
Not Going To Plan
Apple’s AI struggle has been widely documented in recent weeks and most of its delays are being allegedly attributed to its senior executives missing the AI bus when the competition was working on building tools to build on the hype and the demand.
Craig Federighi, who is a core part of Apple’s software ecosystem has reportedly been instrumental in these decisions, and that’s what has made Apple a chaser rather than a follower in this chase. Apple’s executives were candid in an interview with WSJ recently, where both Federighi and Joswiak faced questions that most people have restrained themselves from asking the Cupertino-based giant.
Need To Get Off The High Horse
Apple has been lauded for its innovation and its focus on privacy, and some of that remains true even today. But the AI push needs more impetus and an acceptance that the competition is well ahead right now. That WSJ interview did have the Apple execs puzzled about how Siri is viewed in the market, and where the AI upgrades are essential for its renaissance in the next 12 months.
Apple seems to have made changes internally to get Siri and other AI tools work as per its standards, but the company needs a clear thought process to work effectively and deliver the top results, something that Apple has been renowned for since the days of Steve Jobs at the helm.
