Apple delays Siri's AI upgrade to spring 2026, focusing on quality and seamless integration.

Apple plans to release an AI-enhanced upgrade of Siri in spring 2026 as part of the iOS 26.4 software update. The delay, from an initial 2025 release, is due to quality concerns. The new Siri will better understand users' context and personal data, aiming to compete with other tech giants' AI advancements. Apple's AI strategy focuses on seamless integration into its products rather than creating standalone chatbots.
