In response to Bloomberg's disclosure of the new version of Siri's delayed features and the subsequent stock market turbulence, Apple issued an emergency statement through CNBC today, confirming that the newer, smarter, and more personalized version of Siri will still be officially launched as planned within 2026.
Market Turmoil: Rumors Trigger a "Plunge"
Previously, Bloomberg reported that Apple faced challenges in advancing the deep intelligence of Siri. Some key features appeared to be postponed from iOS 26.4 to iOS 26.5 in May, and even to iOS 27 in September.
Stock Drop: Affected by this news, Apple's stock dropped 5% on Thursday.
Annual Performance: This drop nearly erased the gains since the beginning of the year, resulting in a cumulative decline of nearly 4% in Apple's stock price in 2026.
Core Experience: Not Just "Hearing," But Also "Seeing"
Although Apple's statement aims to stabilize investor confidence, the media pointed out that the official did not directly refute the specific feature delays, but only held the line of "annual delivery." The market has high expectations for the new version of Siri, mainly due to its two major breakthroughs:
Personal Context Understanding: It can deeply analyze users' personal data and usage habits to perform more complex app-based, coherent operations.
Screen Awareness Function: This is the key to solving the pain points of voice assistants. The new version of Siri will be able to recognize the content on the current screen, allowing users to simply say "send to someone," and Siri will automatically capture the information on the screen and perform the operation.
