"However, a new report now suggests the release has been delayed. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple reportedly ran into multiple issues with the new Siri during internal testing. Gurman notes that the new and improved Siri will likely be included in the iOS 26.5 update, which is expected to be rolled out in May. Other features are still said to be only available in iOS 27 in September."
"The report adds that internal testers encountered multiple issues while using the upgraded Siri, including delayed responses, inaccurate query handling, difficulty processing complex questions, unexpected switches to ChatGPT instead of using Apple's own models, and trouble understanding fast speakers, in some cases even cutting users off mid-sentence. According to the report, internal iOS 26.5 builds include a toggle to preview a feature that allows Siri to access personal data. The report further notes that the 'app intents' Siri functionality is also behind schedule."
Apple delayed deployment of the upgraded Siri originally planned for iOS 26.4 and moved most changes to iOS 26.5 expected in May, with additional features slated for iOS 27 in September. Internal testing revealed multiple problems including delayed responses, inaccurate query handling, difficulty processing complex questions, unexpected switches to external models, and trouble understanding fast speakers, sometimes cutting users off mid-sentence. Internal iOS 26.5 builds include a toggle to preview a feature that allows Siri to access personal data, and show that 'app intents' functionality is behind schedule. Current internal builds also contain a web search tool and image generation capabilities, which are unlikely to appear in iOS 26.4.
