Apple did not disclose the expected launch date of the new version of Siri, but it is certain that it will be postponed to 2026, and the specific details may be announced during WWDC 2025 this year.
However, Apple said that it has made Siri more human-like in the past six months, and by integrating with OpenAI's ChatGPT function, it can connect more knowledge content, respond to user interactions more quickly, and connect previous and subsequent questions.
As for enabling Siri to better understand user needs, assist users in operating apps, and even support cross-app operation modes, it obviously requires more time to invest in design. Therefore, Apple expects that it will take at least until 2026 to successfully launch it.
Apple first announced its plan to update the new version of Siri during WWDC 2024 last year, and as part of the "Apple Intelligence" service, but subsequent rumors claimed that Apple faced difficult problems in the related design, which led to repeated delays in the launch schedule of the new version of Siri. As a result, the market believes that under the current competition in digital assistant services, artificial intelligence startups including Google, Amazon, and even OpenAI have begun to launch new forms of digital assistant services that connect to large natural language models. Apple's current pace in the development of artificial intelligence applications seems to have slowed down a lot.
