Apple has integrated the Apple Intelligence system since iOS 18.1, alongside enhancements to Siri’s interface. However, the functionality has yet to sync with Apple Intelligence as anticipated, delaying the major Siri overhaul expected in iOS 18.4, possibly waiting until iOS 18.5. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reported that recent tests of Siri on iOS revealed significant engineering and bug issues, prompting Apple to consider postponing this feature to iOS 18.5, slated for an April or May release. The iOS 18.4 beta for developer testing is expected to be available in March, requiring a swift decision from Apple.
During WWDC 2024 last year, Apple announced three key upcoming capabilities for Siri: improved response to queries, enhanced command execution, and precise utilization of on-screen user data for better accuracy. However, internal testing has shown that the performance is not meeting expectations as of yet.
Recent reports indicate a shift in Apple’s executive management, with Kim Vorrath, a highly influential figure at Apple, transitioning from overseeing the Vision Pro project to focusing on Siri and AI operations.
TLDR: Apple has introduced the Apple Intelligence system in iOS 18.1, with plans to revamp Siri delayed to possibly iOS 18.5 due to technical issues. Internal testing shows current Siri capabilities fall short of expectations. Kim Vorrath, a key Apple executive, has shifted focus to Siri and AI projects.
