Apple is facing challenges in revamping Siri for the era of generative artificial intelligence, with a fully modernized, conversational version of the virtual assistant unlikely to be released until 2027, according to a report by Bloomberg.
The anticipated upgrade is expected to debut alongside iOS 20.
Despite the delay, Apple plans to roll out significant Siri updates in the coming years. A new version of Siri is set to be introduced in May, incorporating the Apple Intelligence features announced nearly a year prior.
Gurman explains that this upcoming version of Siri will operate with “two brains” — one handling traditional tasks such as setting timers and making calls, while the other manages more sophisticated requests by utilizing user data.
An internal project, referred to as “LLM Siri,” aims to merge these two systems. This version is expected to be revealed at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, with a public release slated for spring 2026.
Only after this intermediate step will Apple focus on developing Siri’s most advanced capabilities, with a full-scale, modernized iteration projected to arrive in 2027.
