Apple has got itself into quite the tangle with Siri and Apple Intelligence, with promised AI upgrades now officially delayed and the company taking
plenty of criticism for it but at least some of these delayed features could make an appearance later this year.

In a New York Times article recapping some of Apple's recent AI woes, including internal friction over future plans, there's a mention that Siri would get certain upgrades "in the fall" in the US so probably September time, with the iPhone 17 and iOS 19 .

"Apple hasnt canceled its revamped Siri," the article states. "The company plans to release a virtual assistant in the fall capable of doing things like editing and sending a photo to a friend on request, three people with knowledge of its plans said."

That's not a whole lot to go off are we just getting some extra photo
editing capabilities, or the full suite of delayed features? Ultimately,

The photo editing feature mentioned in the NYT article is one of the Apple Intelligence upgrades promised back in 2024 : the ability for Siri to dig deeper into iPhone apps and take actions on behalf of users via voice
commands (known as App Intents).

That's just part of the picture though. Apple has also said Siri will get
much smarter in terms of context , understanding more about what's happening on your iPhone and more about you (by tapping into some of your personal
data, in a private and secure way).

Once Siri gets those features, it'll be better able to compete with its AI chatbot rivals. Just this week, for example, ChatGPT added a memory upgrade that means it can tap into your full conversation history for answers, if needed.

Apple Intelligence features already added to Siri include support for more natural language in conversations, and improved tech help support for your devices. As for iOS 19, expect to hear more about the software update at the start of June .
