According to the Power On newsletter, the completely rebuilt Siri using Apple Intelligence may be released to users earlier than initially anticipated. It may not be a full experience, but we might start to see some features rolled out ahead of schedule.
Apple unveiled the brand-new Siri at WWDC24 in June, and we are looking forward to it bringing some significant new features. Siri should be able to better understand speech errors, integrate with other applications, understand context, and view the current content on the screen. All these features have the potential to transform Siri into a true personal assistant.
Mark Gurman provided some additional details about the release timeline for Apple Intelligence features, including an interesting new detail. Some new Siri features might be released in iOS18.3 instead of the previously expected iOS18.4. This means we might start seeing improved Siri experiences as early as January, which is typically when iOS x.3 releases, rather than sometime in March.
Gurman also provided some details about the development timelines and release dates for other iOS18 related versions:
* iOS18.1 is expected to be internally completed this week and released in mid-October
* iOS18.2 should be internally completed in early November and released in December
* iOS18.3 should be internally completed by the end of the year and released in January
* iOS18.4 should be internally completed in early February and released in March
