According to the latest edition of the Power On newsletter by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the new features coming to Siri, along with several other features powered by Apple Intelligence, will be delayed until next year. While Apple previously confirmed that its new AI features would arrive next year, a definite timeline has now been tipped, with Spring 2025 being targeted for its release.

As per Gurman, the Cupertino-based tech giant could release Apple Intelligence features for developers via an update in January 2025, and they would be rolled out with the iOS 18.4 update, which is already said to be in development. AI-powered experiences are also reported to come to Apple Vision Pro but only next year.

This corroborates a previous claim by Gurman himself in June that some of Apple's newly announced features may not be ready for shipment when iOS 18 is publicly released and their release could be pushed back. At the time, it was suggested that some of the Apple Intelligence capabilities might even take till 2025 for their public rollout.

On the other hand, Gurman suggested that other Apple Intelligence features, such as text-generation and formatting tools powered by ChatGPT – OpenAI's popular conversational chatbot – will be introduced later this year.

Notably, Apple is expected to bring major upgrades to Siri with iOS 18. One of the key additions in contextual understanding.
