It seems that this time it’s serious. In a week of significance for Apple, not due to new devices but rather its financial numbers, the CEO confirmed what many have been waiting for: the major renovation of Siri is indeed on the way, and it’s set to arrive in 2026. An announcement (re)confirmed: Siri, version artificial intelligence This journey began back in June 2024 during a key developer conference when Apple unveiled its new vision for Siri. This was not merely an aesthetic redesign; it marked a profound change: a Siri designed to understand personal context, capable of interpreting natural language and functioning as a genuine intelligent assistant. Promising, right? Yet, Apple opted to delay the launch. Will it really arrive? The CEO says so This past week, amidst a presentation of results, signals were sent out that progress is being made. The CEO announced that the new Siri would debut next year. As usual, no precise date was given, but leaks suggest it could land around March or April 2026, as part of iOS 26.4, one of those major updates packed with features. Observations align, but will expectations be met? What will this new Siri feature? The ambitions behind Siri are lofty. The goal is for Siri to do more than just provide responses; it aims to take action for you. Picture this: a friend visits on the weekend. You ask Siri to help plan a dinner. Without needing to provide excessive details, she could rummage through your messages to find the flight arrival time (including finding it from a picture of the ticket), calculate the best route from the airport, and suggest exactly when to make the reservation. Such scenarios illustrate a Siri that comprehends context, orchestrates plans, and anticipates needs—essentially, a Siri that finally acts like a true assistant instead of merely setting alarms or reporting the weather. Is Siri the only focus for Apple? Not at all. The potential revamp of Siri marks the beginning of broader ambitions within Apple, which is heavily investing in artificial intelligence technology. The company is working on multiple parallel projects, ranging from models like Pico-Banana-400K to internal chatbots said to rival existing ones from leading AI companies. It appears this new Siri could serve as an entry point into what the company touts as Apple Intelligence. The seriousness of this initiative cannot be overstated. But is all this optimism warranted? Despite the positive notes from the CEO, skepticism persists among users. Many feel justifiably doubtful—while Apple has been taking its time to “perfect” Siri, others in the tech arena have made rapid advances. The company has certainly arrived fashionably late to the party, and that is becoming apparent. Even within the organization, there are murmurs of uncertainty. Talks of collaborations with various companies reveal that Apple knows there is much at stake. While some discussions may have cooled, they hint at an awareness of the need for timely action. The verdict? Apple possesses immense potential to shake up the industry, much like it has done in the past. Time is gradually slipping away, and if the company wishes to regain its lead, this new Siri must be something quite exceptional.
