Major updates for Siri are coming in spring 2025, Apple Intelligence AI available to everyone. In a new report, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman states that the new iOS 18.4 update will make it available to everyone. He writes this in his new Power On newsletter from Bloomberg. Apple previously stated AI features didn’t surface until 2024.
Historically, Apple kept most new features for point updates. This means some of them can arrive much later. For instance, first, the options to find your ID in Photos will come to Siri. On another note, maybe it’s already prepared with an AI emoji generation. Gurman doesn’t mention, but that should be taken into notice as well now.
What’s first will become more evident as the beta versions of iOS 18 start turning on new features this year. Expected this fall is the integration with ChatGPT, a new interface for Siri that includes a pulsing rainbow around the screen bezel, and deeper product knowledge for light tech support from Siri.
Apple’s future AI plan includes AirPods that will house embedded cameras. The supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentioned these new AirPods recently, which would work in conjunction with the Vision Pro for gesture and motion detection. Gurman likens them to the Meta’s Ray-ban glasses. AI could help describe your environment and assist navigation. These new AirPods Pro may be two generations away.
