The delay of Apple's AI-enhanced Siri has been admitted by senior director Robby Walker as an embarrassment for the company. Initially promised at WWDC24, this advanced version of Siri is now postponed indefinitely, with performance issues being cited as a major concern. Critics have targeted Apple for failing to demonstrate the promised features, which have resulted in accusations of vaporware. Despite this setback, Apple continues to promote the upcoming Siri features alongside its iPhone 16 lineup, although concrete delivery dates remain unclear.
Robby Walker, Apple's senior director of Siri, referred to the delay of the AI-enhanced Siri as "ugly", acknowledging that it damaged Apple's reputation.
Apple's head of Siri development said they anticipated rolling out new features for the smarter Siri over the coming year due to unforeseen delays.
