Investing.com -- Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL). has established an internal target of spring 2026 for the release of its delayed Siri voice assistant upgrade, marking a significant step in the company’s artificial intelligence strategy.
The Siri team is working to introduce the revamped voice assistant as part of an iOS 26.4 software update, according to Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter. These long-awaited changes will enhance Siri’s capabilities by allowing it to access users’ personal data and on-screen activities to better respond to queries.
Apple typically releases its ".4" updates, known internally as "E" on the company’s software development schedule, in March. This pattern was seen with iOS 18.4 this year and iOS 17.4 in 2023. While the company has set a spring timeframe for the release, an exact date has not yet been determined internally.
When asked for comment, Apple told Bloomberg that it has not announced specific timing for the new Siri features. The company reaffirmed its earlier statements that these upgrades are planned for the "coming year."
This Siri upgrade represents a key element in Apple’s efforts to advance its artificial intelligence offerings.
