Siri Upgrade Delayed After Testing Issues Plague Apple's Plans
Apple's plans to upgrade its virtual assistant, Siri, have reportedly hit a snag. The iPhone maker was initially set to roll out the changes in March with its upcoming operating system update, but issues during testing may delay the release.
According to Bloomberg, Apple was planning to include redesigned interface, improved comprehension of natural language, on-screen awareness, and upgraded cross-app controls in the latest version of Siri. However, the report states that the virtual assistant did not always process queries correctly or took too long to handle requests during testing.
The situation is fluid, and Apple's plans could change further, according to people familiar with the matter. The delay may push back some Siri upgrades to the next update in May or even iOS 27, expected to be released in September.
