WWDC 2025: Apple Says Personalized Siri Features Are Still Not Ready

If you were hoping for the more personalized version of Siri to launch soon, Apple today said that you will have to keep waiting.

iOS 18 Siri Personal Context
During the WWDC 2025 keynote today, Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi said that the company will share more details about the personalized Siri features in the coming year, signaling that they are still not ready.

"As we've shared, we're continuing our work to deliver the features that make Siri even more personal," said Federighi. "This work needed more time to reach our high quality bar, and we look forward to sharing more about it in the coming year."

Federighi's commentary indicates that the personalized Siri features will not be available for testing in the first iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 developer betas.

Apple first previewed the personalized Siri features during its WWDC 2024 keynote last June. The enhancements were initially expected to launch with iOS 18.4 a few months ago, but in March, Apple said they were delayed.

Whenever they launch, the Siri upgrades will include understanding of a user's personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls. For example, during its WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple showed an iPhone user asking Siri about their mother's flight and lunch reservation plans based on info from the Mail and Messages apps.

The promised Siri upgrades will require an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence.

A class action suit requires there to be damages.
Well, I upgraded my iPhone 12 Pro to get features they advertised that turned out to be imaginary. Many other people as well. This was quite atypical for Apple — I can’t remember another example of this magnitude offhand, having used their products since the 1980s.

How? Should we put them in jail?
A class action suit would be the more typical approach.
