During today’s earnings call with analysts, Apple CEO Tim Cook addressed the company’s delay of its more personal Siri features that were announced as part of Apple Intelligence last year. Cook assured analysts that the company is “making progress” on shipping these features to consumers…
Here’s Cook’s full quote from today’s earnings on the current state of Apple Intelligence:
Since we launched iOS 18, we’ve released a number of Apple Intelligence features, from helpful Writing Tools to Genmoji, Image Playground, Image Wand, Clean Up, Visual Intelligence, and a seamless connection to ChatGPT. We made it possible for users to create movies of their memories with a simple prompt and added AI-powered photo search, smart replies, priority summaries for Mail, Messages, and more. We’ve also expanded these capabilities to more languages and regions.
With regard to the more personal Siri features we announced, we need more time to complete our work on these features so they meet our high-quality bar. We are making progress, and we look forward to getting these features into customers’ hands.
This marks the first time that Apple has publicly addressed the more personal Siri features since announcing the delay in March. The company has not provided a specific timeline on when the features will ship, other than saying they will be available “in the coming year.”
The more personal version of Siri is set to include features like personal context, in-app actions, and on-screen awareness.
