Apple’s long-delayed AI upgrades for Siri are set to finally launch this year. Here’s the expected release date for the new and improved Siri.
Siri’s major AI overhaul expected in March with iOS 26.4
iOS 26.4 has long been reported by Bloomberg as the update that will launch Apple’s new and improved AI Siri. This timing has also been corroborated by code leaks from iOS 26.
