If you wait for the great overhaul of Apple from the virtual assistant of Siri, we have bad news.
Apple has not yet confirmed an exact release date, except that the news should come somewhere in 2025. The functions were originally unveiled on WWDC 2024 and are expected to arrive at the iOS 18 -release ceremon (ie for iOS 19 Lances).
However, according to Mark Gurman van Bloomberg, Apple has encountered problems in development. Some functions that were planned for iOS 18.4 were pushed back until May – or even later.
The internal tests of the new functions would not go as planned. It is possible that some of the improvements are technically included in iOS 18.5, but that they remain disabled until Apple chooses to make them possible at a later date.
The delay influences several of the most expected Siri functions, such as:
- Personal context concept – Siri must be able to better understand the context and give more relevant answers
- In-app promotions SIRI can directly arrange specific functions in apps
- Awareness on the screen – Siri will be able to analyze what is displayed on the screen and act accordingly
After the update has started, Siri should be able to process more advanced assignments and follow questions without the user having to repeat the context. For example, questions about a hockey game and then say, “When is the next game?” To realize Siri that the question is about the same team – and even adds the game to the calendar.
It is still to be seen how long we are waiting for the new and improved Siri to arrive on your iPhone or iPad.
