Apple CEO Tim Cook stated during the company\u2019s October 30 earnings call that \u201cgood progress\u201d is being made on the long-delayed artificial intelligence upgrades for Siri. The advanced features, which were postponed in March 2025 due to technical challenges, are now expected to launch in the spring of 2026, likely with an iOS 26.4 update.<\/p>\n

The AI-powered Siri capabilities were first announced at Apple\u2019s Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2024 and were heavily promoted as a key feature of Apple Intelligence during the iPhone 16 marketing, a move that led to multiple class-action lawsuits over the delay. The upgrades are set to include personalized context awareness, allowing Siri to understand on-screen content and answer complex, multi-step questions using data from a user\u2019s emails, messages, and calendar.<\/p>\n

During the call, Cook also confirmed Apple\u2019s intention to integrate other third-party AI models beyond its existing partnership with ChatGPT, although he did not provide specifics. This follows August reports from Bloomberg that Apple was in discussions with Google to use its Gemini AI model.<\/p>\n

The AI update came as Apple reported a record quarterly revenue of $102.5 billion, an 8% year-over-year increase. Cook projected double-digit iPhone growth for the holiday quarter, driven by demand for the new iPhone 17 series, which includes basic Apple Intelligence features but does not yet have the advanced Siri capabilities.<\/p>\n
