Apple Inc.’s turmoil in its AI division reached new heights on Friday, with the company delaying promised updates to the Siri digital assistant for the foreseeable future.

In the now-private YouTube video, The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey is shown asking Siri “the name of the person they had a meeting with the previous month at a specific restaurant,” as 9to5Mac puts it.

Internal data suggests Apple Intelligence is failing to gain traction, and the Siri AI overhaul may now be delayed until 2027.

Apple is delaying some of the Apple Intelligence Siri features that it expected to release in iOS 18, an Apple spokesperson said in a statement

Apple today shared a somewhat vague statement announcing that some of its planned Apple Intelligence Siri features will take longer than expected

If you’ve been waiting for the new, improved Siri to arrive in the next few weeks, you need to practice patience. Apple just made a rare statement on the subject.

The long-anticipated Apple Intelligence personalized Siri, allegedly coming with iOS 18.4, has now been delayed to 2026, Apple confirmed.

Apple says its next-gen AI features tied to an upgraded Siri will only arrive next year. It seems those delays have also pushed the iPad-like home control hub.

After facing delays and suggestions that an improved Siri would arrive with iOS 18.5 later this spring, it appears we may not see Siri 2.0 until later this year, possibly not until 2026. The tech blog Daring Fireball received a statement from Apple today implying that we wouldn't see the next Siri until the release of iOS 19.
