Siri Rumored to Take a Backseat at WWDC 2025

Estimated read time 3 min read

Apple is likely to keep discussion of Siri to a minimum at WWDC 2025 as it focuses on other Apple Intelligence enhancements, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman and Drake Bennett.

Apple will apparently focus on improving existing ā€ŒApple Intelligenceā€Œ capabilities and adding some new ones, such as an AI-optimized battery management mode and a virtual health coach. Google Gemini is also on track to be added as a ChatGPT alternative for ā€ŒSiriā€Œ in iOS 19.

Other upgrades to ā€ŒSiriā€Œ, including the ones announced a year prior that include personal context and the ability to complete complex, multi-step actions, are “unlikely to be discussed much.” The features are still “months away” from being released.

Apple is also reportedly planning to “separate the ā€ŒApple Intelligenceā€Œ brand from ā€ŒSiriā€Œ in its marketing,” owing to concerns that users’ negative experience with ā€ŒSiriā€Œ is harming opinions about ā€ŒApple Intelligenceā€Œ as a whole.

To help improve existing ā€ŒApple Intelligenceā€Œ features, users’ iPhones now apparently help improve Apple’s synthetic data, the report explains. A set of artificial data is assessed and enhanced by comparing it to the language from users’ iPhones to provide real-world reference points for AI training, without feeding in actual user information.

Similarly, in Texas, Spain, and Ireland, thousands of analysts are purportedly reviewing ā€ŒApple Intelligenceā€Œ summaries for accuracy by comparing its output against the source material. The company wants to determine how often the system is producing the distorted or inaccurate responses.

Apple’s ā€ŒWWDC 2025ā€Œ keynote is scheduled for Monday, June 9, where the company will preview ā€ŒiOS 19ā€Œ, macOS 16, and other major software updates and features for its devices.
