When will the new assistant appear and what features will it bring?

“Siri came to the iPhone more than a decade ago with the promise of helping us.”do something just by asking” We’ll just have to talk to him naturally and wait for the magic to happen. Time has passed and this smart assistant is still present on the Apple smartphone, but we usually use it to program timers and much more.

The race to advance artificial intelligence (AI) and all the advances that come with it seem like the perfect time for this part of iOS to make the most important leap in its history. And we have several reasons to believe that this will happen. Mark Gurman notes that Siri will be one of the main characters at WWDC 2024, which will be held in June.

Completely updated assistant

As we know, Apple usually doesn’t give hints about future releases, but that doesn’t stop analysts from drawing their own conclusions. In this case, Siri-related news comes from sources consulted issue specialist from the Cupertino firm Bloomberg. Let’s take a look at what we can expect from Apple in the coming months.

Currently, Siri allows us to add events to the calendar, create reminders, make calls or set a timer. When using it, we must take the time to formulate our request into a sentence that the assistant can understand. Often, if we change the order of words or do not speak clearly enough, Siri simply cannot help us.

It is expected that the updated version of the assistant will remove this limitation. Siri will be able to understand us better and will become a key tool for manage iPhone and its applications (including those from third parties). We might, for example, ask you to use your voice to move a note from one folder to another, request a summary of an article, or send a web link via email.

But we will also see more advanced features. Thanks to updates to other iOS components, Siri will help us summarize meetings and send them in messages. The assistant can even crop an image and email it to a specific contact. We are talking about news for iPhone or iPad. There is no mention of macOS.

When will the new Siri come to iPhone?

Updating Siri has proven to be a challenge. According to sources, Apple has improved the assistant’s core technology with large language models. As we say, we should know the latest company news about artificial intelligence at WWDC 2024, which will take place on June 10 at 19:00 (Spanish Peninsula time) and which we will cover on Hatac.

During the event, we should learn about iOS 18, a version of the iPhone operating system that will open the door to generative artificial intelligence and a host of new features. The new Siri was supposed to be here, but sources indicate it won’t be ready by launch day. They note that an updated Siri is expected to arrive as part of a subsequent iOS 18 update next year.
