Apple has previously confirmed that it will delay the highly anticipated Personalized Siri feature until next year. Well, it appears that the company has picked up its pace and is working to release the delayed Apple Intelligence Siri feature “in the Fall.” Apple Intelligence took off with a bumpy start, and while the company has a lot in store for users, it did not meet the cut when it comes to delivering the new features.
Apple could announce the Personalized Siri feature earlier than expected, potentially in the Fall
According to a new report from The New York Times, Apple plans to release the delayed Apple Intelligence-powered Personalized Siri feature in the fall of this year, which means that the company is finally picking up its pace, and it is for its own good. The company’s image took a major hit when it delayed the release of its new AI features, but it seems that the company is working excessively to release the features with the next major release of iOS.
iOS 19 will be a major update as Apple has planned a major visual overhaul for the update, which will be inspired by visionOS. Coupled with a new design, Apple will now introduce a handful of new AI features, including the ones that the company has delayed, which will make it an even more significant update than initially anticipated.
Apple previously stated that it was going to take longer than expected to roll out the Personalized Siri experience and gave a timeline that stretched until “the coming year.” However, the report mentions that employees within Apple are confident that the feature will be ready for release in the fall.
Apple hasn’t canceled its revamped Siri. The company plans to release a virtual assistant in the fall capable of doing things like editing and sending a photo to a friend on request, three people with knowledge of its plans said.
Siri has been left behind in the AI race, not that it ever crossed the likes of Google Assistant or ChatGPT, but it did have a chance if Apple played its part right. To tackle this scenario, Apple partnered with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT integration to Siri, which was a pretty neat addition to fill the gap. The company is also working on LLM Siri, which will better and directly compete against the likes of Gemini and ChatGPT, but it is too early to draw conclusions at this stage.
Some of the Personalized Siri features include Personal Context, Onscreen Awareness, Deeper App Integration, and much more. We will share more details on the subject soon, so be sure to keep an eye out.
