Apple Kicked Off Its 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference with a Glossy Flourish: a Sweeping Ui Redesign Called Liquid Glass for the Newly Christed iOS 26. “Expressive,” Apple says. Nearly every new feature is now stitched together with some form of apple intelligence or, in some cases, openai’s chatgpt.
However, amid all the name-dropping of llms and neural networks, one thing was conspically missing: siri. Apple’s OG Ai Assistant. Apparently, She’s Still Not Ready for Her Makeover.
“As We’ve Shared, We’re Continuing Our Work to Deliver The Features That Make Siri even more personal,” said craig federighi, apple’s Svp of Software Engineering, During the keynote. “This work needed more time to reach our high-quality bar, and we look forward to sharing more about it in the coming year.”
When apple first introduced its apple intelligence branding almost exactly a year ago, it was supposed to usher in a smarter, sharper siri – a reimagined VOCESISTANT POWRED BY Ai Legacy System with Apple Intelligence to Handle More Advanced Queries. But, as bloomberg’s mark gurman has reported, apple’s entry into the ai race has been more reliable than revolutionary.

Being of this, siri has become someone something of a collectorate victim in what can only be described as apple’s internal ai scramble. You can see the fallout in how iOS 18 have handled its so-called intelligence upgrades, rolld out in fragmented waves over the last year or so.
Back in March, Gurman Noted Apple Was Styl “Running Way Behind”
So, Yes, iOS just Got a Sleek New Skin, But Siri is Still Stuck in the Waiting Room.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s Parent Company, In April Filed a Lawsuit Against Openai, Alleging it infringed upringed upon ziff davis copyrights in training and operating its ai system.
