If Apple has planned new features for its next mobile OS, they will not all arrive next September. The brand has already anticipated that some will be delayed, and will not arrive before spring 2026, thanks to an intermediate update, probably iOS 19.4.
Among the new features that will be delayed, the new Siri will be the most commented on. Apple is indeed preparing its response to Google’s Gemini Live and ChatGPT with a new voice assistant powered by an in-house language model. The objective is to converse in a natural way with Siri to obtain answers, services or order connected objects.
Siri would not be the only one to be affected by its delays and other parts of the system could wait a few more months before being accessible by the millions of iPhone owners. They will nevertheless be discussed during the conference given at the opening of WWDC by Apple.
This operation is starting to become a habit for Apple. iOS 18, too, was delivered as a kit, with a new batch of Apple Intelligence features and other capabilities offered with each major system update. iOS 18.2 will, for example, introduce emojis and images generated by artificial intelligence, as well as the new design of the Mail application, capable of sorting emails according to their subject.
