Remember all that fancy AI stuff apple announced at WWDC recently? You may have to wait longer than expected for some of it.

According to Mark Gurman's Power Onnewsletter at Bloomberg, Apple is taking a careful approach with its rollout of Apple Intelligence. Many of its features will launch roughly alongside iOS 18 in the fall, but this is considered a beta release by Apple. They will only be available for iPhone 15 Pro models — and their language capabilities will max out at American English for now.

Apple Intelligence Siri features possibly delayed to 2025

As part of that, a subset of features related to Siri's AI-fueled glow-up are being held back to 2025, per Gurman:

• Semantic indexing: A feature that allows the iPhone to collect data from images, emails, and websites and apps you use

• Personal context: A feature that lets Siri take in information from calendar entries, text conversations, emails, and other sources and use that context to respond to personal queries

• On-screen awareness: A feature that gives Siri the ability to grab information from what is currently on-screen to use as context for responses

• Precise app control: A feature that lets Siri do things like show you edit specific photos or summarize articles using voice commands from within an app

Apple Intelligence evangelists should fear not, as many of the other advertised features at WWDC should be ready for use either right when iOS 18 launches or before the end of 2024, at worst. Prioritized notifications, website summaries, Genmoji, and others should hopefully be there to play around with to your heart's content.

You'll just have to wait for Siri to reach its full AI potential.
