"According to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, we'll likely have to wait even longer. While the new Siri was expected to launch with the upcoming iOS 26.4 update in March, now, the changes are expected to roll out more slowly over time, reportedly postponing some features until the May iOS update, or even until the release of iOS 27 in September."
"Apparently, Apple ran into trouble when testing the software, requiring the launch date to be pushed back further. The changes are rumored to make the longtime digital assistant more like the LLM chatbots that have swept the tech world - but instead of opening up a ChatGPT or Claude app on your iPhone or MacBook, you would be able to just talk to Siri, which will be powered by Google Gemini."
Apple promised a next-generation, AI-powered Siri with Apple Intelligence in 2024. The release timeline has been repeatedly delayed over the past year and a half, and the launch will be pushed back further. The new assistant was expected with iOS 26.4 in March, but features will roll out gradually, with some postponed to a May iOS update or possibly to iOS 27 in September. Testing encountered problems that required delaying the launch. The new Siri will resemble large language model chatbots and will be powered by Google Gemini, enabling conversational access instead of separate chatbot apps.
