Apple Suddenly Confirms It’s Delaying iPhone’s ‘Personalized Siri’
In a surprise move, Apple has announced that it is delaying the release of its highly anticipated “personalized” Siri feature for iOS devices. This revelation comes just days after the iPhone 16e was expected to be unveiled with this enhanced AI-powered virtual assistant.
According to sources, Apple had initially planned to roll out the new and improved Siri in April of this year. However, the tech giant has now confirmed that it will take longer than anticipated to deliver on these features, pushing the release date back to “in the coming year.” The exact timeline is still unclear, with some speculating that it may not arrive until iOS 19, which is expected to be unveiled at WWDC in June.
The new Siri feature was initially touted as a major selling point for Apple’s upcoming iPhone lineup. It would have allowed users to ask more complex and personalized questions, leveraging their personal data such as emails, texts, photos, and other digital information. For instance, users would have been able to ask Siri “What is my passport number?” or perform tasks within apps.
While many had grown excited about the prospect of a more conversational AI experience on their devices, Apple’s sudden delay may come as a disappointment to some fans. However, the company claims that it has made this decision in order to ensure that the feature meets its high standards and delivers on its promised potential.
As one industry expert notes, “Apple is taking the time it needs to get Siri right. It’s not uncommon for tech companies to delay major updates to ensure they meet their quality benchmarks.”
The sudden announcement comes after a slew of new features were already rolled out in the past six months, including more conversational capabilities with ChatGPT integration and type-to-Siri functionality.
It remains unclear what specific factors led to this unexpected delay, but one thing is certain: Apple will continue to prioritize innovation and user experience, even if it means pushing back release dates.
