Apple tests iOS 19.4 well before its spring launch next year. Website logs show both the main iOS 19 and the 19.4 update are under active work right now. Engineers want extra time to perfect the delayed Personalized Siri feature, which should have appeared in iOS 18.4 but missed its deadline.
The New York Times reported that Apple might release a new Siri version later this year. This leaves questions about when the personal assistant upgrade will arrive—either in the main iOS 19 release or 19.4 next spring. The upgraded Siri will read screen content, learn more about users, and control apps better through voice commands. These abilities would make iPhones much smarter than current models with basic AI tools. Apple Intelligence needs these improvements since the current features mainly check spelling and make simple images.
