Apple’s efforts to put advanced AI capabilities through its ecosystem, the way Google implemented them with Gemini, there are still a lot of land to cover. Among them, Siri Virtual Assistant, who has remained a Laggard and has still not received the features that Apple presented during his developer conference last year.
Now, the company has officially confirmed that a revised SIRI, which can access locally stored user data and interact with applications, has been delayed until next year. Known internally under the name of “LLM Siri”, the new generation you could not arrive completely before next year, but The delay could extend well in 2027.
“We also worked on a more personalized SIRI, which gave it more awareness of your personal context, as well as the possibility of taking measures for you inside and through your applications. It will take us more time than we thought to deliver these features and we plan to deploy them in the coming year, “said an Apple spokesperson Daring.
Apple would have watched an April launch for the Improved Siri experience, which was to arrive with the iOS 18.4 update. Apple’s main leaders – including the senior software engineering vice -president, Craig Federighi – have expressed concerns about the planned features that refresh themselves during the internal tests, reports Bloomberg.
Apparently, some employees think that the planned roadmap could be completely hampered, forcing Apple from zero. As a stop solution, Apple signed an agreement with Openai to Offer Chatppt capacities on iPhones And Mac, integrating it into Siri as part of Apple Intelligence’s battery.
Despite the ChatPPPT providing advanced and multimodal capacities such as generation of images and file analysis, Siri still lacks some crucial features that could really raise the functional experience. For example, he still cannot take a look at user data and offer contextual responses, and it cannot interact in depth with the installed applications.
Google Gemini, which are now available on high -end Android devices, can use data stored on its workspace products such as Gmail, Docs, Maps and even YouTube. In addition, using an extensions system, it can transform voice commands into used steps on different applications, including third -party applications such as Spotify.
Apple clearly missed the train, and the last delays do not paint a particularly good image of the innovation sequence in the company. However, that makes progress elsewhere. The company recently In partnership with Alibaba and Baidu in China To accelerate the development of Apple Intelligence for the local market.
