iOS 18.4 Apple Intelligence to power Siri 2.0

Apple recently rolled out the stable version of the iOS 18.3 update and now we are waiting for the iOS 18.4 beta which is expected to be released this week. As we are just a few days away from the beta release of the biggest iPhone update, a new Bloomberg report by Mark Gurman has reported that Apple may delay Siri 2.0 release. It was highlighted that Siri 2.0 is experiencing engineering and software problems due to which the voice assistant is not responding probably to the tasks. Due to these ongoing issues, Gurman said, “Some features, originally planned for April, may have to be postponed until May or later”

This highlights that Apple may roll out iOS 18.4 in April it may not include the Siri 2.0 with Apple Intelligence. Therefore, we may have to wait till iOS 18.5 roll out to experience the highly awaited Apple AI features. This may come as a surprise to iPhone users as they have waited long enough to experience AI. While, the iPhone already includes some of the advanced features such as Genmoji, Visual Intelligence, ChatGPT integration, and others but Apple has curated a bigger hype for Siri 2.0.

At the WWDC 2024, the tech giant showcased three major Siri capabilities, personal context, cross-app actions, and on-screen awareness, which was slated to be rolled out with the iOS 18.4 update in April. But now, Apple is experiencing delays due to improper functioning of these listed features. Now, we simply have to wait and see when Apple can bring the awaited Siri upgrade
