Siri's big update is still on track for 2026
Apple says its big Siri update is still set for 2026, even though testing has hit some bumps.
The new Siri promises smarter features like onscreen awareness and better personal context, but so far, it's been a bit slow and sometimes misunderstands what you ask.
Apple will roll out new features gradually
Instead of dropping everything at once with iOS 26.4 in March, Apple will release the new Siri features gradually.
