Apple's big Siri AI upgrade could arrive in iOS 26 update this spring, says report

The delayed update was originally promised back at WWDC 2024

Apple said in interviews (via Tom’s Guide) this week that it had a working version of the new Siri behind the scenes, but it was built on a hybrid architecture that blended old and new systems, resulting in a buggy experience that wasn’t up to the company’s standards. Apple told the press it would delay the planned Siri upgrade and release it “in the coming year,” which means 2026 according to SVP of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak. In the meantime, Apple will need to roll out iOS 26 itself, which boasts a list of upgraded features and the company’s new Liquid Glass design language.
