Apple's iPhone 16 launch in September 2024 included a commitment to an AI-powered Siri upgrade, which never materialized. This failure resulted in lawsuits from shareholders and customers for misleading advertising. In early June, Apple announced a delay of the Siri update until 2026. Subsequently, reports emerged that Apple is exploring partnerships with AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic to integrate their technology into Siri, indicating a retreat from previous promises and a struggle to stay competitive in the tech industry.
The tech giant promised customers an AI-powered version of Siri that could autonomously complete tasks, but failed to deliver on its commitments, leading to lawsuits.
After delaying the Siri update until 2026 to manage customer disappointment, Apple is now reportedly in discussions with OpenAI and Anthropic for assistance.
Apple's reliance on third-party AI companies may demonstrate a significant shift in its strategy, indicating challenges in keeping pace with competitors in the technology sector.
Investor and customer reactions may view a third-party partnership as a major failure for Apple, impacting its reputation as a leading tech innovator.
