Apple stock takes a hit on report it’s pushing back AI Siri features — again
Apple customers may have to wait even longer for the company’s long-awaited AI Siri, Bloomberg reports.
The iPhone maker had been planning to include a number of upgrades to Siri in a March operating system update, but the company now is planning to spread those out over future versions. That means some features first announced in June 2024 — an AI Siri that can tap into personal data and on-screen content — might not arrive until September with iOS 27.
The postponements happened after “testing uncovered fresh problems with the software,” Bloomberg said, including instances where Siri didn’t properly process queries or took too long to respond.
The stock, which had been trading up more than 2% today, has pared some of those gains on the news.
For what it’s worth, Apple’s iPhone sales — a record last quarter — don’t appear to be suffering for lack of AI.
