Apple (AAPL) on Monday announced a number of design and AI-related improvem💧ents with its iOS 26 com🐼ing this fall. However, those looking for some of Apple's highly anticipated updates, including AI-enhanced Siri features, are going to have to wait.

Apple Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi said during the tech giant's Worldwide Developers Conference Monday that the Siri features “need more time to reach our high quality bar” and that more information will be released “in the coming year.” Apple has previously suggested the release of its more personalized Siri, potentially capable of performing tasks within other apps, may not come until at least 2026, which Morgan Stanley warned could 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:hurt iPhone sales. 

For now, Apple unveiled a software development kit called Foundation Models Framework that will allow developers to build apps using the AI large language models witﷺhin Apple Intelligence. “We think 🅘this will ignite a whole new wave of intelligent experiences in the apps you use every day,” Federighi said. 

The company also showcased its iOS 26, the latest software update for iPhones, Macs, and other devices coming this fall (and a naming shift away from what would have been iOS 19). It includes AI-powered live translation features with an expanded slate of languages, new Genmoji capabilities including integration with ChatGPT, and Apple's first major aesthetic redesign in years, referred to as “liquid glass.”

Other announcements included a new Games app, a revamped CarPlay interface, and a streamlined Photos app that brings back separate tabs for users' camera roll and albums.

Still, the lack of new AI Siri features is glaring as Apple faces growing pressure to prove it can compete with other tech leaders with artificial intelligence. Last month, ChatGPT maker OpenAI took what could be seen as a step toward competing with Apple in offering AI devices with plans to 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:acquire io, an AI startup launched by former Apple design head Jony Ive.

Shares of Apple turned slightly lower shortly after WWDC began. The stock was down 1% in recent trading Monday and has lost about a fifth of its value so far in 2025.
