Apple plans to debut its delayed personalized Siri features in the spring of 2026, setting an internal release target for that year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Apple executives Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak acknowledge issues with Siri and confirm a 2026 release, citing ongoing quality testing problems that led to a switch in architecture.
Initially planned for iOS 18.4, the personalized Siri features might now be introduced in an iOS 26.4 update around March or April 2026 after addressing the architecture issues.
If development progresses well in the coming weeks, Apple might preview the features with the launch of new iPhone 17 models in the fall, although facing criticism for the delay.
Apple showcased the Apple Intelligence Siri updates at WWDC 2024, highlighting functions like personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper app integration.
