Recent speculation pointed to a reveal this spring, potentially as early as now. Yet, Apple finds itself constrained again by its artificial intelligence approach, which has it racing to match competitors in the sector."], ["For over a year, Apple has been enhancing Siri's artificial intelligence features through its Apple Intelligence initiative. Gurman's sources indicate that the updated schedule targets finalizing these improvements to coincide with the iPhone 18 Pro's September debut.
