Previously, we reported that Apple is preparing for a major Siri upgrade with Apple Intelligence. It was suggested that iOS 18.4 will introduce Siri 2.0 with three advanced capabilities, On-screen awareness, personal context, and cross-app action. However, Apple is reported to be facing some engineering problems for running these Siri features smoothly. This raises concerns over the iOS 18.4 delay or Apple may not launch the Siri upgrade altogether. Therefore, we will have to wait for the upcoming beta versions to know what Apple has been planning for future iOS updates.
