Apple originally planned to release the upgraded Siri in the fall alongside the iPhone 16 lineup, Bloomberg says. In reality, Apple’s initial Apple Intelligence features – which, for Siri, only included a new design – didn’t launch until more than a month after those phones came out.

Apple might not release its Apple Intelligence update to Siri until Spring 2026, nearly two years after it first announced the more capable version of its voice assistant.

Apple Inc. has set an internal release target of spring 2026 for its delayed upgrade of Siri, marking a key step in its artificial intelligence turnaround effort.
