Some AI-powered Siri features coming to iOS sooner than expected

Apple showed off quite a few AI-powered features coming with iOS 18, but it made clear that Apple Intelligence won't be available until March 2025, when iOS 18.4 arrives. However, Mark Gurman's latest newsletter suggests some AI-powered Siri features will arrive sooner, likely with the iOS 18.3 update.

It's not a sure thing yet, but Apple might be ready with some of its features earlier than expected and will treat its users with some Siri improvements sooner rather than later. The roadmap so far outlines an Apple Intelligence debut with iOS 18.1 in October, followed by an iOS 18.2 update in December and iOS 18.3 in January.

Still, the most exciting AI features shown on stage during Apple's WWDC 2024 and the iPhone 16 series launch event are expected to be market-ready in Q1 2025 with iOS 18.4.

We hope that by then, Apple will comply with all regulations required in the EU and offer its AI functionalities there too.
