Siri and Apple Intelligence in iOS 19: Delays, Updates, and Future Plans. Siri’s AI Evolution in iOS 19: What’s Delayed and What’s Coming. Apple faces challenges in launching AI-powered Siri enhancements with iOS 19. These delays affect key AI features, including a major Siri update designed to make interactions more natural.
Siri and Apple Intelligence in iOS 19
Last year, Apple worked on “LLM Siri,” an AI-driven assistant that merges Siri’s two systems—one for basic commands and another for complex requests—into a single advanced framework.
Despite delays, LLM Siri is still set for iOS 19. However, Apple had planned to include advanced conversational AI similar to ChatGPT. Reports from Full Free Software.Net confirm this feature is postponed and won’t arrive in June as expected.
Sources suggest a more conversational Siri might not launch until iOS 20, and even then, only if things go smoothly.
New Siri Features in iOS 18.5
While Siri’s major AI upgrade is delayed, three new features are still on track for iOS 18.5 in May.
Apple Intelligence in iOS 19: Minimal Upgrades, Low Engagement
Apple’s internal data shows low user engagement with Apple Intelligence. Adoption rates remain weak, suggesting the current AI-driven features lack appeal.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iOS 19 may not bring major Apple Intelligence upgrades:
“Everything I’ve heard suggests that iOS 19 won’t introduce significant AI improvements. Apple is still focused on delivering last year’s promised features. It’s hard to develop the next phase when the current updates aren’t even out yet.”
This setback is frustrating but expected. Apple’s AI roadmap for Siri and Apple Intelligence lags behind, meaning we may not see major innovations until iOS 20, expected in June 2027.
Conclusion: What’s Next for Apple’s AI Strategy?
Apple prioritizes stability over speed in its AI rollout. While iOS 19 will still bring LLM Siri, users may need to wait for iOS 20 for groundbreaking AI features.
