iOS 19 Rumors: More ChatGPT-Like Siri, Some New Features 'Postponed'

[Boosf]

iOS 19 is not expected to be announced until June 2025, but the software update's first major new feature has already leaked.

In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reiterated his previous report that said iOS 19 will introduce a "more conversational Siri" powered by "more advanced large language models." He said this upgrade will make Siri more like OpenAI's ChatGPT, allowing the assistant to "handle more sophisticated requests."

Apple will likely unveil the revamped Siri when it unveils iOS 19 at WWDC 2025 next June, but Gurman said it will not be available until as early as spring 2026. That suggests the feature will be released as part of an iOS 19.4 update.

In his newsletter, he revealed that additional features have been "postponed" until iOS 19.4.

"I'm told that a larger-than-usual number of features scheduled for iOS 19 (beyond the new Siri) are already postponed until spring 2026 (when iOS 19.4 debuts)," he wrote.

He did not provide any details about those other planned features.

In the meantime, iOS 18.2 adds ChatGPT integration to Siri, and Gurman expects an integration with Google's Gemini to follow in a later update. Apple previously confirmed that iOS 18.2 will be released to the public in December. And with iOS 18.4, Siri will gain on-screen awareness, deeper per-app controls, and a few other enhancements, but it will still not offer fully-fledged ChatGPT-like conversational abilities directly.

Once the new Siri is released, iPhone users should not have to tap into third-party services like ChatGPT and Gemini as often. iOS 19.4 is still around a year and a half away from being released, though, so a long wait remains.

Only if those are optional and easy to disable. No way I want default HDR on my TV. Every time I buy another TV set from Samsung or LG I waste 2-4 hours disabling all similar features and “intelligent noise reduction”. I was furious when I connected my GoPro to TV and started watching thru footage just to see that they made watercolors and CCTV-like footage from perfectly good videos. AI and image doesn’t always equal good. Many users hate such behavior without even realizing they can turn it off.

Apple, Google and Samsung doing the same with photos. Every photo comes with unremovable autoHDR, over-sharpened and fully denoised. And which option do they give? Shoot RAW. And then waste time to edit RAW. And then export JPEG out of RAW. And then get rid of RAW dng files scattered all around. And all of this wastes my time as a photographer, I want a simple days when I take a photo, edit and it is ready to be uploaded, not this artificial madness

Oh FFS.
Do you actually own an aTV? Have you ever looked at the settings?

Why do we get this every time? The people who fantasize as some sort of S/M weirdness that Apple will tie them down and force them to watch modified content, even though we have 10+ years of history that Apple always introduces these things as optional?

Launching in 1.5 years and some features still postponed?

Tim Apple, you're not late but the best in AI, you're just late and last

The AI features that they've released so far (although pretty basic) have all felt pretty well thought out and integrated. For other LLM tasks they've integrated chatGPT into Siri. I think I like this approach better than just putting LLMs on everything and seeing what sticks like other OEMs. We've pretty much hit the limits of what an LLM-based AI can do capability-wise even if the models are going to keep getting better and faster. Now it's up to companies to figure out what are the best integrations.

weirdly angry response for a legitimate concern. apple over processing photos is already common complaint, and as stated other tv manufacturers throw in a ton of this junk as default, and apple is not immune to chasing (bad) trends.
