If you’ve been waiting on Apple’s new Siri personalized features, buckle up—it’s going to be a long wait. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is now aiming for a spring 2026 release after missing its original timeline.

The features were supposed to land in iOS 18.4, but after running into quality issues, Apple pulled the plug and switched to a more powerful backend architecture. Now the internal goal is an iOS 26.4 update, likely around March or April 2026.

Apple execs Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak confirmed the delay during their post-WWDC interviews this week, citing “ongoing quality issues” during testing. That lines up with the growing narrative that Apple rushed its Apple Intelligence rollout and is now playing catch-up.

There’s still a chance we’ll get a sneak peek this fall. Gurman says if development stays on track over the next few weeks, Apple might preview the updated Siri alongside the iPhone 17 launch. But considering the backlash Apple got for promoting these features with the iPhone 16 and then delaying them, they may choose to play it safe.

To recap, these personalized Siri features were first shown off at WWDC 2024. It included things like personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper app integration. Basically, the stuff Apple demoed as a significant leap forward just got pushed back by over a year.

At WWDC 2025, Apple didn’t tease any more “coming soon” features—likely to avoid a repeat of the Siri fiasco. For now, all eyes are on 2026.
