Apple originally planned to release a revised Siri with artificial intelligence in the fall of 2024. But now it looks like we'll only see it in an update iOS 26.4 in the spring of 2026This follows from a new report by Mark Gurman from the agency Bloomberg, which details behind-the-scenes information and changes in project management.
Siri should handle multi-level tasks and deeper context
According to Gurman Apple prepares completely new version Siri, which will be closely connected to user data and on-screen content. The result is a smarter, more contextual assistant that can handle multiple steps at once and better understand user intent.
The original plan was for the launch to take place in 2024. Then the date was pushed back to the beginning of 2025, then to May, and now there is talk of March 2026. Apple so far, it has only officially confirmed that New Siri will arrive "within the next year", which gives room for different interpretations.

Gurman states that the main reason for the delay was technical issues, specifically nestAble data architecture that combined old and new systems failed more than a third of the time, resulting in internal disagreements and changes in project leadership.
Federighi takes the lead, Siri is being rebuilt from the ground up
Project Siri was taken from the previous AI chief, John Giannandre, and now falls under Craig Federighi and Mike Rockwellwho also leads the team Vision ProThe new version is codenamed Siri LLM a Apple he builds it practically from scratch.
During keynote na WWDC 2025 Federighi admitted that "Apple needed more time to achieve the required quality.” However, the company did not demonstrate any new Siri and all attention was focused on Apple Intelligence and developer tools.
According to Gurman, it has Apple ambitions for the future to create from Siri proan active digital co-pilot who will always be ready to help, converse naturally and connect with the open web through an internal project called Knowledge.
What exactly this will mean in practice is not yet clear. But one thing is certain: unless something gets stuck again, New Siri will arrive no earlier than March 2026 with iOS 26.4.
Czech? AI will easily translate it in real time... :) :(((
