It has been approximately a year and a half since Apple first committed to unveiling a completely revamped, state-of-the-art, AI-driven Siri in 2024. Since that announcement, the launch date for this new era of Siri has been repeatedly postponed. According to a recent report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, we may be in for an even longer wait.
Initially, the new Siri was anticipated to debut with the iOS 26.4 update in March. However, the rollout of these enhancements is now expected to occur gradually over time. Reports suggest that some features may be delayed until an iOS update in May, or potentially even pushed back to the release of iOS 27 in September. The primary cause for this further delay appears to be significant challenges Apple is facing during the software testing phase.
The rumored overhaul aims to transform the long-standing digital assistant into something more akin to the LLM-powered chatbots that are currently dominating the tech landscape. The key difference? Users won't need to open a separate ChatGPT or Claude app on their iPhone or MacBook. Instead, they will simply converse with Siri, which is expected to be powered by Google's Gemini technology.
