You may have had high expectations for Siri after the announcements of WWDC 2024. Apple then promised a more natural, smarter assistant, closer to a real conversation, but it would seem that reality is more complex than expected for Cupertino teams.
These new features were to offer more natural and contextual interactions, but it would unfortunately seem that their deployment does not go as planned. The beta version of iOS 18.1 gave as a reminder last AugustA first overview of the new Siridoped at Apple Intelligence. If progress was noted, as a better interaction with the apps, the assistant seemed far from the hoped -long leap. Understanding the context or chaining real conversations remained laborious.

Apple under pressure to catch up
These delays would be explained by the difficulties encountered by the Apple teams. Despite an intense marketing campaign around Apple Intelligence, reality internally would be more complex. The system would still be far behind competitors like Chatgpt, Gemini or Meta Llama.
Some even believe that the system has been rushed into the market to satisfy a Wall Street obsessed with AI. This observation recalls the setbacks ofAnother feature of Apple Intelligence, which generated false informationin summary of notifications.
Faced with these challenges, Apple could consider several options.
