Apple targets spring 2026 for long-delayed Siri AI upgrade, aiming for iOS 26.4 release In June 2024, Apple promised that, “coming with the first set of Apple Intelligence features,” Siri would become more natural, contextually relevant, and personal. All that ever arrived was a glowing light that wraps around the edge of the screen when active, prompting at least one class action lawsuit. Now, the company is targeting spring 2026 for the long-delayed release. Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News: ‎ > Apple is working to ready the features (the ability to tap into personal data, reference on-screen content, and have precise control over apps and actions) in time for iOS 26.4. That update is scheduled for sometime in the spring (March or April). At the moment, there’s confidence internally that the company can make this happen. > > The move involves a shift to a new architecture dubbed Siri LLM that will be used for all of the assistant’s functionality. Last year, Apple tried to use two different systems (one for legacy queries and one for the new features), but combining the two caused problems. That led to the Siri enhancements not working up to a third of the time. And the perception from testers — including software chief Craig Federighi himself — was that the performance was even worse than that, I’m told. > > It’s also alarming how close Apple was to releasing this flawed product. Earlier this year, the company was still racing to get the new Siri out by April. When Apple then pushed back the goal until May, it thought a month would be enough time to address the problems. Obviously, the company vastly underestimated the scope of the challenge. ‎ **MacDailyNews Take:** Sigh. Siri is a textbook case of knowing you need to do something – in this case rebuild Siri from the ground up – and knowing it for years (Apple has been urged to rearchitect Siri for years, even from Siri’s co-creator), but putting it off because it’s a lot of work, will cost a lot, or both, and then being forced to do it anyway, late, after it royally fails. It’s simply bad, myopic management. * * * ‎ **Please help support MacDailyNews — and enjoy subscriber-only articles, comments, chat, and more — by subscribing to our Substack : macdailynews.substack.com.

Glückwunsch @rafaelzeier.com 👏 für das Interview mit Craig #Federighi, iPadOS 26 und die Sache mit macOS fürs iPad #WWDC2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M7w...

Apple Says Personalized Siri Features Shown at WWDC Last Year Were 'Real' and 'Working' Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi and marketing chief Greg Joswiak are on a media tour this week, following the WWDC 2025 keynote. The latest interview comes from _The Wall Street Journal_ 's Joanna Stern, who sat down with Federighi and Joswiak to discuss Apple's delayed personalized Siri features. Stern asked the executives if Apple had a working version of the more personalized Siri when the company demonstrated the features during its WWDC 2024 keynote. According to Federighi, it did. "We were filming real working software, with a real large language model, with real semantic search, that's what you saw," said Federighi. "There's this narrative out there that it was demoware only," added Joswiak. "No." Federighi also gave the same answer about why the personalized Siri features were delayed as he did in another interview. In short, there were quality issues, and Apple is shifting to a newer underlying architecture for Siri to overcome that. Apple first announced the personalized Siri features during its WWDC 2024 keynote. The new capabilities will include better understanding of a user's personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls. For example, Apple showed an iPhone user asking Siri about their mother's flight and lunch reservation plans based on info from the Mail and Messages apps. Apple said it currently plans to release the features in 2026.
