The AI-powered components that were meant to be added to Apple’s Siri in the next update have reportedly been delayed.

Gurman has long maintained that Apple Intelligence and the more advanced Siri that it promises will be at the heart of Apple’s new home products ecosystem. With Siri’s improvements officially pushed off into the iOS 19 cycle, the home hub would be similarly delayed until its internal software smarts were ready for prime time.

After facing delays and suggestions that an improved Siri would arrive with iOS 18.5 later this spring, it appears we may not see Siri 2.0 until later this year, possibly not until 2026. The tech blog Daring Fireball received a statement from Apple today implying that we wouldn't see the next Siri until the release of iOS 19.
