Apple Admits Siri AI Overhaul Delays at WWDC

At its June 9 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple conceded that its much-anticipated Siri AI revamp will miss initial launch targets. Software chief Craig Federighi explained that meeting Apple’s quality bar demands more development time, turning a once-promised “revolutionary” upgrade into incremental improvements. The event introduced “Apple Intelligence,” a new large-language-model framework for developers, and “Liquid Glass,” a refreshed UI design. Features like live conversation translation and offline AI model access were revealed, but analysts criticized the overall keynote as uninspired. Stocks dipped over 1% as investors weighed Apple’s cautious approach against aggressive AI moves by Google and OpenAI. While Apple plans to open its foundation-model framework to third-party developers, the delay underscores the challenge of integrating advanced AI within tight performance and privacy constraints. nypost.com
