Upgrading the Future: What's Next with Apple Intelligence 2.0 and Siri

Apple Intelligence 2.0: Upcoming AI Features for iPhone

Year of Siri Upgrades Ahead

• Personal Context Support, Onscreen Awareness, and Expanded App Actions: These features were initially planned for iOS 18 but have been delayed. They are expected to be released this fall.
• LLM Siri: A major upgrade that will use new Apple AI models to make Siri more human-like and capable of handling tasks similar to ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. It will also support expanded App Intents for better control over third-party apps. LLM Siri is slated for a spring 2026 launch with iOS 19.4, though internal changes may affect this timeline.

More Third-Party AI Integrations

• ChatGPT in iOS 18: Proven to be a valuable addition.
• Google Gemini on iOS 19: CEO Sundar Pichai is optimistic about an integration deal.
• Other Third-Party Models: Tim Cook has mentioned more third-party options for iOS 19, potentially including Perplexity.

Expanding AI Features into More Apps

• Image Playground in Music App: References found in iOS 18 code suggest AI-generated playlist artwork.
• Potential New Integrations: Expect Apple to bring current AI capabilities to more apps, though no specific rumors have emerged yet.

Wrap-Up

• WWDC and Feature Rollouts: Apple may follow a similar strategy as last year, with some features announced at WWDC and others rolled out gradually.
• Anticipation for Surprises: The coming months will reveal whether Apple Intelligence 2.0 brings any major surprises.
