The AI-powered Siri is still on track for 2026 | Infinium-tech
Apple is apparently facing significant hurdles in the development of its own AI-powered Apple Intelligence and advanced virtual assistant Siri. The company first announced Apple Intelligence during WWDC 2024, but failed to complete it. Additionally, Mark Gurman reported that the enhanced Siri will not be included in the iOS 26.4 update later this year due to issues encountered during internal testing.
However, that story was based on an internal report by an Apple employee. A company executive was asked about this by CNBC and the answer was simple but reassuring: “Still on track to launch in 2026.”
We trust a high-ranking official more than an online rumor. And even though 2026 seems vague, it’s probably safe to assume that the Siri update will indeed come after iOS 26.4, possibly coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 18 series.
We recently reported on a change in plans regarding Apple’s AI-powered Health+ service, which will not launch and instead, the company will break it up into separate features that will be released gradually over time for the existing Apple Health. This indicates that restructuring is underway, which may result in the delays we’ve been talking about.
