Apple has been promising a new-and-improved, cutting-edge, AI-powered Siri since the beginning exposed Apple Intelligence in 2024. More than a year and a half since then, the release date for this new era of Siri has been repeatedly repeated. According to a recent report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, we may have to wait.

While the new Siri is expected to launch in the upcoming iOS 26.4 update in March, now, the changes are expected to come out more slowly over time, reportedly postponing some features until the May iOS update, or even until the release of iOS 27 in September. Apparently, Apple is running into trouble with software testing, which requires the launch date to be pushed further.

The changes are rumored to make the longtime digital assistant more like the LLM chatbots that have swept the tech world — but instead of opening a ChatGPT or Claude app on your iPhone or MacBook, you’ll be able to talk to Siri, which can be used to Google Gemini.

We’re starting to feel bad for Siri’s product managers. Hang in there, people.
