New Apple Intelligence-powered Siri expected to arrive next spring

Siri’s new capabilities will be a major, if not the, highlight of the Apple Intelligence rollout, but, given Apple’s standing start in GenAI, and subsequent mad scramble to catch up (which will be ongoing for years), a Siri that actually works and is useful most of the time won’t reportedly be ready until spring 2025.

Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:

For the first time, the digital assistant will have precise control over actions inside of Apple’s apps. That means you can ask Siri to, say, edit a photo and then ship it off to a friend. It also will have the ability to understand what you’re looking at on your display, helping Siri determine what you want to do based on the context. But neither of those upgrades will be ready when Apple Intelligence launches this fall, as I’ve previously reported.

Instead, I’m told, Siri features are likely to go into beta testing for developers in January and then debut publicly around the springtime — part of an iOS 18.4 upgrade that’s already in the works. Other Siri features, such as a new design and ChatGPT integration, will be coming later this year.
