Experience it in January next year! AI-enhanced version of Siri will be launched in iOS 18.4
Because Apple Intelligence consumes too much memory, only the 8GB iPhone can be used, which means that the AI-enhanced version of Siri can only be used on iPhone 15 Pro and above models
TechNews July 8th: At last month's WWDC, Apple officially launched the generative AI model Apple Intelligence.
At the same time, Apple announced that Siri will undergo an AI upgrade, enabling features such as continuous conversation support, contextual understanding, cross-app operations, and more.
It is worth noting that these new features from Apple will not be immediately available in iOS 18, but rather a "forward-looking promise."
According to the latest news from reputable journalist Gulman, the AI-enhanced Siri will not be released this year. Apple plans to start testing in January next year, and it will only officially debut in iOS 18.4.
Based on the release schedule of iOS 17.4, it is estimated that users can experience it around March, approximately 9 months after the feature announcement.
Furthermore, due to the high memory consumption of Apple Intelligence, only iPhones with 8GB RAM can support it, meaning that the AI-enhanced Siri will only be available on iPhone 15 Pro models and above.
Due to the "flaw" of Apple Intelligence, all four models of the iPhone 16 this year are forced to come with 8GB of memory as standard.
