Apple Postpones Smarter Siri

Mar 7, 2025, 2:06 PM by Rich Brome @rbrome.bsky.social

Apple has confirmed that it is taking the company "longer than we thought to deliver" a new version of Siri with better awareness of your personal data and the ability to take action within apps. Apple first announced the features as part of Apple Intelligence in the middle of last year. Apple promised an on-device, private "semantic index" of your data (such as recent messages, calendar, contacts, etc.) that Siri could use to answer more questions, more intelligently. When Apple Intelligence finally launched as part of iOS 18.2, it did not include those improvements to Siri, but Apple said at the time that they would roll out "in the coming months". In today's update, Apple says only "we anticipate rolling them out in the coming year." Apple notes that it has launched other improvements to Siri, including "type to Siri and product knowledge, and added an integration with ChatGPT."

Ditch CHATGPT

Apple should rethink the ChatGPT integration, its extremely slow, lackluster in half its answers and just straight up isn't worth using over say Gemini from Google. Which I actually use on my iPhone WAY more than Siri/ChatGPT because it's much faster, is more conversational and takes into account how it got that answer with verifiable sources. Apple needs to stop being enemies with Google and start being friendly. They both would go much further.
