Apple is already testing iOS 19.4, due by April 2026

According to the MacRumors visitor log, a subset of Apple’s software engineers have begun internal development and testing of iOS 19.4 as of last month.

Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:
‎

iOS 19.4 is expected to be released in March or April next year, so the software update is still nearly a year away. However, Apple develops both “Fall” and “Spring” versions of iOS each year, with our website’s analytics logs indicating that both iOS 19.0 and iOS 19.4 are in active development within the company.

The start of iOS 19.4 development comes after Apple delayed its personalized Siri features until some point “in the coming year.”

Apple first previewed the personalized Siri features during its WWDC 2024 keynote last June. The enhancements were initially expected to launch with iOS 18.4 a month ago, but they are now expected to arrive at some point during the iOS 19 cycle. Many well-connected Apple reporters and observers believe the features will not be available until 2026, so it is quite possible that they will launch as part of iOS 19.4 next year.

‎
MacDailyNews Take: Hopefully they’re also working on rebranding Siri, too.
