Apple's Siri Overhaul May Face Delay in iOS 18.4 Update
Engineering challenges and software bugs could postpone key Apple Intelligence features to iOS 18.5, according to reports.
- Apple's planned Siri update, featuring advanced AI capabilities under Apple Intelligence, may not be ready for iOS 18.4 as initially expected.
- The upgrade includes personal context understanding, on-screen awareness, and enhanced in-app actions, but internal testing has revealed inconsistent performance.
- Sources suggest Apple could delay the release to iOS 18.5 in May or ship iOS 18.4 with incomplete features disabled by default for further testing.
- The iOS 18.4 beta is expected to roll out to developers next week, with the public release anticipated in April, though the Siri updates may not be included initially.
- Other Apple Intelligence features, such as email sorting and new creative tools, are still expected to be part of the iOS 18.4 update.
