Apple indefinitely delays Siri updates due to AI concerns

Apple has delayed updates to its Siri digital assistant indefinitely. Features expected in the iOS 18.4 update, such as improved app control and access to personal data, will now be released sometime in the coming year. The company initially planned to launch these features in April but has faced development challenges. Internal concerns about functionality have led to speculation that some features may need to be rebuilt from scratch, delaying their release until 2026. Apple's setbacks come as it struggles to keep pace with competitors like Amazon and Google in the AI space. The company has been promoting these features in advertisements, despite their unavailability.
