"Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ: AAPL) made one huge mistake that will irreparably damage its future. What was once the most powerful tech company in the world stumbled in June. That's when it said it would not release its highly advanced Siri AI product until 2026. That means it could be part of its iOS 26.4, which is likely to launch in March or later."
"The reason for the delay, according to outsiders, is that Apple is finding it challenging to put artificial intelligence into a new age version of Siri. This is partly because it has to be more "context aware" than early and primitive versions of Siri have been. Another reason is that tech giants that are further along than Apple in AI projects have stolen some of Apple's best AI programmers."
"Apple is now at least a year behind its largest AI competitors. OpenAI and xAI, for example, have released several generations of their products in the past year. Among the things ChatGPT can do is write software code, draft emails based on a person's past "voice," create images and video, analyze complex uploaded files, and translate text and voice from one language to another."
Apple delayed the release of its advanced Siri AI product until 2026, likely appearing in iOS 26.4. The delay results from difficulties making Siri more context-aware and from losing top AI programmers to competitors. Several key engineers have moved to Meta and OpenAI, reportedly for multimillion-dollar packages; Ke Yang left for Meta. Apple has not matched such compensation. The company now trails competitors by at least a year, while OpenAI and xAI have released multiple product generations. Apple also has not invested tens of billions in AI data centers, which require massive electricity, water, and specialized chips.
