Apple does not pull a towel using Siri: some of its new functions will appear earlier than they thought

Launch Siri It became smarter a real headache AppleBut the company does not throw a towel with this project. While those of Cupertino announced in March that the premiere of an updated (and smart) version of their virtual assistant will be postponed, will be postponed, postponed, They will still trust some of their improved functions during this 2025Field

This is indicated by the message about New York Timeswho claims that, according to three people who are allegedly involved in this initiative, Apple will release new characteristics of Siri due to generative AI During the fallField

The publication does not deepen this question too much, although it mentioned that thanks to these functions of Siri, tasks such as editing photography and sending it to contact, from the user instruction. Apple has already promised a characteristic of this type when iOS 18 announced as part of the deep integration of the assistant with system applications. However, until now it has not been completed.

A hypothetical debut in the fall of 2025 may mean what characteristics of this type they arrive in Siri From the hand of iOS 19A few days after the launch of the iPhone 17.

What is not very clear is whether this will be part of the general Siri update that Apple plans, or they will be specific functions of generative IA, which will be added to reassure the desire (and criticism) of users.

New generative functions will appear in Siri with iOS 19

Apple left a shot of the cylinders with the Siri update from Apple Intelligence. Cupertino announced a radical update of the virtual assistant during WWDC 2024 as part of the iOS 18, but most of the promised improvements have never reached the software.

In early March and unpublished Apple reported that she would delay the New Siri debut until next year. Nevertheless, it was assumed that the smartest option can be detained until 2027 or laterFrom a large volume of work, which is still required for it to work properly.

The case of Siri caused real chaos in Apple Park, even led to a change in leadership in the team responsible for its development. The company took from this initiative Robbie Waker and John Jannandrea and laid Mike Rockwell in her arms, who performed the creation of the Apple Vision Pro.

Rockwell will tell you about the achievements directly Craig FederhaitVice -President of Apple Software Engineering, which shows that Californians want to get out of this Lodazal as soon as possible.

Change of radical strategy

According to the recent report from InformationThe lack of progress in the development of a more intelligent and more capable Siri was associated with many factors. Among them, Apple’s contempt for the evolution of their competitors in the generative field, especially after the ChatGPT debut. In addition, from the absence of ambitions in the assumption of risks or considering more complex problems.

Water waters for Apple were not only an unfavorable public reaction to the lack of news about the new Siri, but also from its own employees. The above media indicate that the company is on WWDC 2024 Used a fictitious demonstration To promote functions that did not exist in their virtual assistant, which even more heated perfumes among the engineers of the Apple AI team.

In order to resolve the shortcomings and shortcomings of Siri, Apple would choose extreme measures. Federight himself would provide engineers with the opportunity to use open source models developed by third parties in the company’s products, which they still had, that they had Strictly prohibitedField
