Apple is Delaying Its Smarter, More Personal Siri
In a statement shared with Daring Fireball, Apple has revealed that it will be delaying the rollout of its updated version of Siri. This revamped AI assistant was initially promised to bring significant improvements to the technology, including enhanced contextual awareness and the ability to take action within apps.
According to the company, these new features have proven more challenging to implement than anticipated, and a specific release date has not been provided beyond confirmation that they will be available “in the coming year.” It’s worth noting that this news is not entirely unexpected, as Bloomberg reported in earlier reports that the project was facing potential delays.
The updated Siri was initially touted as a core component of Apple Intelligence, with promises to revolutionize the way users interact with their devices. To date, the company has only shipped limited updates to the technology, including the ability to type requests rather than speaking them aloud, product knowledge features, and integration with ChatGPT.
While the full scope of these new capabilities was not explicitly outlined in Apple’s statement, it is clear that significant technical hurdles remain before this more personal Siri can be released. The company will need to overcome these challenges before bringing the updated AI assistant to market.
As users eagerly await the development of this technology, they may take some solace in knowing that Apple has already made considerable progress with Siri over the past six months. The company’s statement highlights improvements in the AI’s conversational capabilities and its ability to understand and explain Apple product features.
In any case, it appears that these advancements will be meted out in installments rather than a single, all-encompassing update. We can expect more information on this development as it becomes available.
