iOS 19 Rumored to Feature ChatGPT-Like Siri and Expanded Compatibility

Apple's next major software update is expected to bring a conversational Siri powered by advanced AI, though key features may face delays until 2026.

iOS 19 is rumored to introduce a more conversational Siri, leveraging advanced large language models similar to ChatGPT, but this feature may not launch until the iOS 19.4 update in spring 2026.
The update is expected to support all iPhone models currently compatible with iOS 18, including devices dating back to the iPhone XS and XR from 2018.
Some features initially planned for iOS 19 have reportedly been postponed due to ongoing development efforts for Apple Intelligence in iOS 18 updates.
The first iOS 19 beta is anticipated to be unveiled at WWDC 2025, with a full release likely in September of that year.
Apple continues to refine Siri in the interim, with iOS 18.4 expected to add on-screen awareness and deeper per-app controls, though full conversational capabilities remain in development.
