Apple CEO Tim Cook addressed the delay of enhanced Siri features during the company's Q2 2025 earnings call. Cook assured investors that Apple is actively working to refine these features to meet the company's high standards for quality.
Cook highlighted the release of several Apple Intelligence features over the past year, including Writing Tools and ChatGPT integration. However, the more personalized Siri features, initially previewed at WWDC 2024, require additional development time. These features, which include personal context understanding and in-app action execution, are now expected to potentially arrive with iOS 19.4 by Spring 2026.
Reports indicate that Apple has reorganized the Siri team to improve the overall user experience. While a firm release date remains unclear, Cook emphasized the company's commitment to delivering these enhanced Siri capabilities to customers in the coming year. The delay is attributed to the complexity of ensuring these AI-driven features meet Apple's stringent quality benchmarks.
