Cupertino, March 10, 2025: Apple has delayed its AI-powered Siri upgrade to next year, pushing its release beyond iOS 18.5 in May 2025 due to software issues. Initially planned for iOS 18.4 in April, the upgrade faces development challenges, with insiders fearing it could be scrapped. Craig Federighi, Apple’s Software Chief, raised concerns over its functionality, while competitors like Amazon’s Alexa+ advance in AI capabilities.
Apple’s ChatGPT-like Siri upgrade may not fully launch until iOS 20 in 2027, raising concerns among employees about the company falling behind rivals. Some question whether CEO Tim Cook or the board will step in to address leadership issues within Apple’s AI division.
