Regarding the previous Bloomberg report about the "delay in the release of new Siri features" and the subsequent stock price fluctuations, Apple has officially issued a statement to CNBC, clearly reiterating: The new version of Siri will still be released as planned within 2026.

Previously, it was reported that Apple encountered technical challenges while advancing a smarter and more personalized Siri, which may have led to some features originally scheduled for iOS 26.4 being postponed to iOS 26.5 in May or even iOS 27 in September. Affected by this rumor, Apple's stock dropped 5% on Thursday, erasing all gains since 2026.

Core Advancements in the New Siri:

  • Screen Awareness Capability: Siri will be able to "see" the content on the user's screen and understand the context. For example, users can directly ask about specific information displayed on the screen, and Siri can seamlessly identify and perform the corresponding actions.

  • Personal Context Understanding: Based on powerful AI technology, the new Siri will better understand the user's personal information, habits, and preferences, providing customized services.

  • Deep App Operations: It will support more complex cross-app operations, breaking the previous limitations where voice assistants could only perform simple, isolated commands.

Although Apple's statement aims to stabilize investor confidence, analysts point out that the statement mainly maintains the "annual delivery" baseline and does not directly address potential delays in specific version updates.
