Apple originally planned to release the upgraded Siri in the fall alongside the iPhone 16 lineup, Bloomberg says. In reality, Apple’s initial Apple Intelligence features – which, for Siri, only included a new design – didn’t launch until more than a month after those phones came out.

Apple CEO Tim Cook (L) and Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi greet the audience during the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 09, 2025 in Cupertino, California. The annual conference, which runs through June 13, includes design and fuctionality announcements for Apple's various products.

Apple might not release its Apple Intelligence update to Siri until Spring 2026, nearly two years after it first announced the more capable version of its voice assistant.

Now, a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims that Apple is targeting Spring 2026 to launch the upgraded Siri. Apparently, the Siri revamp will come out as part of iOS 26.4.

At its WWDC 2024 keynote last year, Apple previewed a more personalized version of Siri that has since been delayed until next year.

At WWDC this week, Apple’s SVP of software Craig Federighi and SVP of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak shared more details about the decision to delay in an interview with The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern.
