This week, Apple released its financial results for the second quarter of its 2025 fiscal year. During a call with investors, Apple CEO Tim Cook addressed the development of the company’s Siri AI features. Cook confirmed that Apple will need additional time to ensure these features meet the company’s quality standards, though some progress has already been made.
“In terms of the more personalized Siri features that we announced, we need more time to finalize them so that they meet our high quality standards. We’ve made progress and are looking forward to delivering these features to our customers,” Tim Cook said during the call.
Apple originally introduced these personalized Siri AI features at its WWDC 2024 event last June. At the time, they were expected to be included in the iOS 18 update. However, the features were ultimately delayed, and Apple acknowledged that more development time would be required.
Expected Release Shifted to iOS 19
Now, the personalized capabilities of Apple Intelligence are anticipated to be part of iOS 19, notes NIXSolutions. However, Apple’s careful wording suggests that users may not see these updates until 2026. While there is no confirmed release date, the company continues to work on refining the features to align with its expectations for user experience and reliability.
The delay highlights Apple’s ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards in AI development, even if it means pushing timelines. Despite the setback, Apple appears to be prioritizing functionality and performance over speed.
We’ll keep you updated as more integrations and announcements become available. For now, developers and users will have to wait a bit longer before accessing these more advanced, personalized AI tools through Siri.
