iOS 26: No Siri boosted at AI before 2026, confirms Apple
After the announcement ofiOS 26several scraps of information arrived from Apple leaders around Siri. The most striking information comes from Craig Federighi, software manager at Apple, who shared during an interview that the version boosted at AI would finally arrive in 2026.
No AI for Siri before 2026, Apple disappoints again
At the announcement of iOS 18, Apple had presented a major overhaul of Siri, carried by artificial intelligence. The objective was clear: to allow the assistant to understand what is going on on the iPhone screen and to use applications data to offer more complete and personalized answers.
Unfortunately, we learned in March 2025 that these abilities were rejected at the end of the year. Since the WWDC 2025 and the announcement of iOS 26, Apple has returned to this delay, even if Craig Federighi admitte duringA recent interview A launch offbeat at 2026.
All this would happen with the iOS 26.4 update
Shortly after, the famous Mark Gurman has given new details Around the long -awaited Siri with IA. For the journalist at Bloomberg, all of this would happen with the iOS 26.4 update, scheduled for March 2026.
Apple would do more precisely in the face of technical problems preventing this new version from working a third of time. A situation that makes its deployment unthinkable for Apple, the priority of which remains to offer a coherent, fluid and without hitch user experience.
“” “A major technical challenge: Siri’s brain was divided into two for iOS 18. Apple used an existing system for current tasks, such as adjustment of timer and calls, and a new generation platform for Siri’s improved features ”specifies Mark Gurman
The cohabitation of these two architectures would thus cause too large and regular bugs, which would have forced Apple to reconstruct the complete integration of artificial intelligence in Siri.
Patience will therefore be in order for this virtual assistant boosted at AI, unless Europe comes to force Apple to Open the iPhone to competing solutions – which could jeopardize the future Siri in the face of artificial intelligences already much more advanced.
