Personal context and app use come later

In practice, this means that the smarter Siri only appears with iOS 19, which should be presented in summer and will then come onto the market in September – but not with the first versions. One year of waiting would mean spring 2026, such as iOS 19.4 or 19.5. The so -called personal context and the ability to make actions within and beyond apps directly by voice input directly. Apple intended to adapt its app intents API, so it also required the cooperation of third-party developers.

Apple had already advertised the “better personalized Siri” last September. In an advertising video that the Njetzoffline group took, there was a well -known actress to be helped by Siri to remember a person from a meeting in the past. To do this, the voice assistant had to access the personal context. Apple always emphasized that the information “on device” is selected, i.e. via a voice model provided on the device. If this is not enough, the group uses its privacy-friendly cloud infrastructure PCC. Other examples of the personal context would be: “Play the podcast that Anna recommended to me” or “When does Mama's plane end up?” – All things that Siri needs device into it.

Siri, talkative was not yet announced

On the Mac and iPad, the improved Siri is now not expected before a later version of MacOS 16 and Ipados 19, on the Vision Pro not before Visionos 3. Apple Intelligence itself will be published in German for the first time in April, currently the functions can only be used in English.

In addition, observers had expected Apple Siri overall more talkative. Sometimes this has already been implemented with iOS 18, but Apple simply cannot get to chatbots like Chatgpt or Claude. Siri still does not understand all terms and does not spit out the correct information, which has been extremely frustrating for years. But this chat bot-like Siri has not yet been announced and should not come before iOS 19 or even iOS 20. Instead, the voice assistant has been able to access Chatgpt since Apple Intelligence started. In China, on the other hand, Apple relies on local partners.
