The Apple news has been drear of late , mostly because of all thetariff turmoil , but before that , there was all thedrama about Siriand the company ’s unfitness to deliver on promised Apple Intelligence features . Well , in case you forgot , the New York Times is here to remind you that the Siri dramatic event has n’t gone forth .
Tripp Micklereportson Apple ’s “ inability to make good on newfangled musical theme , ” providing insight from unidentified source about the company ’s mishandling of AI development . Bloomberg ’s Mark Gurmanpreviously reportedthat Apple will detain the novel AI - based Siri feature until 2026 , but near the closing of MIckle ’s clause is a glimmering of hope – or some promising thinking by some Apple insider :
Apple has n’t canceled its revamp Siri . The company plans to release a virtual assistant in the fall capable of doing things like editing and send a photo to a champion on request , three people with knowledge of its plans said .
That sounds like it will get in in the first version of iOS 19 , rather than Io 19.3 or subsequently in 2026 , as some had speculated . Mickle goes on to report that Apple leader suppose there is “ time to get [ AI ] justly ” because Google , Meta , and others have n’t figured it out yet . That might be true , but it sure seems like Apple ’s competition has its AI plans in much better form than Apple .
If Apple truly believes it can deliver this drop , then that will makeWWDC25 in June much more interesting and give ussomething to care about . Apple will almost certainlyaddressthe Siri state of affairs then – it has to , it ’s the elephant in the way – and the party will either laud a Siri bringing in the fall or a much late date . We ’ll have to wait and see .
