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.
"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.
