Tim Cook Says Apple is 'Making Good Progress' on Personalized Siri Features Ahead of 2026 Launch

On an earnings call today, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is "making good progress on a more personalized Siri" that is powered by Apple Intelligence, and he reiterated that the features will be available next year.

iOS 18 Siri Personal Context
"We're making good progress on a more personalized Siri, and as we've said before, we expect to release these features next year," said Cook.

Apple today reported record earnings results for the third quarter of its 2025 fiscal year, with revenue of $94 billion exceeding Wall Street expectations.

Apple first announced the personalized Siri features during its WWDC 2024 keynote, but in March it announced that they were delayed. The new capabilities will include better understanding of a user's personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls. For example, 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.

Apple is facing multiple class action lawsuits over the delayed features.

I’ll believe it when it’s on my iPhone.
Honestly she was working well around 2015-2019, but she keeps getting worse.

I’m not even joking but a couple of weeks ago, I asked her to lower the thermostat, and she literally replied with “no.”
