Siri's Powerful New Capabilities Won't Arrive Until Next Year [Gurman]

Apple's big Siri upgrade won't happen until next year, according to a new report from Mark Gurman.

At WWDC 2024, Apple unveiled an major update to Siri that will enable hundreds of new actions in and across Apple and third-party apps. Additionally, Siri will be able to understand what's being shown on your display and perform actions based on the context.

Unfortunately, it appears that even developers will need to wait until 2025 to test out these new features.


I'm told, Siri features are likely to go into beta testing for developers in January and then debut publicly around the springtime — part of an iOS 18.4 upgrade that's already in the works. Other Siri features, such as a new design and ChatGPT integration, will be coming later this year. As I wrote last week, Apple Intelligence also will be coming to the Vision Pro, but not until next year. Anyone looking to use the features on Apple's home devices, meanwhile, is out of luck. They'll have to wait until the company introduces its AI-powered table-top robot, something I've been reporting on for several months.
