Siri Upgrade Unlikely at WWDC 2025 as Apple Struggles with AI Delays and Internal Conflicts

Highlights

  • Apple is unlikely to showcase a significant Siri upgrade at WWDC 2025 due to delays and leadership disagreements with updates still months away.
  • Apple’s AI rollout has faced multiple delays including postponed features like Genmoji and AI writing tools.
  • Apple has lagged behind rivals in AI investment and faced internal conflicts, slow decision-making and concerns about whether AI aligns with its traditional product-first strategy.

Apple may not showcase any big Siri upgrades at WWDC 2025, according to a new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The company’s plans for “Apple Intelligence” are facing delays and Apple is dealing with leadership disagreements, slow decision-making and a cautious approach to AI that’s caused it to fall behind rivals. Here’s what we know based on the latest report.

What WWDC 2025 Might Look Like?

Gurman says Apple is “unlikely” to highlight Siri at WWDC 2025. Major updates are still months away. Instead, the company will focus on launching iOS 19 and gradually rolling out Apple Intelligence to more apps.

Expected updates include –

  • A new AI-powered battery optimisation tool
  • “Project Mulberry,” a virtual health coach
  • A new feature for European users to replace Siri with third-party voice assistants
  • Continued work on “LLM Siri,” a long-term plan to fix Siri’s architecture

Interestingly, Apple is planning to separate Siri from Apple Intelligence in its marketing, likely because Siri’s outdated reputation could damage the brand’s newer AI efforts. Apple also wants to avoid announcing features before they’re fully ready, a shift from past launches.

Apple’s AI Journey

While Apple was early to voice assistants with Siri, it has since lost ground in the rapidly growing AI space. Gurman’s report points out that Apple hesitated to invest in generative AI. Key figures like software head Craig Federighi were reportedly “reluctant” to support it, seeing it as a distraction from Apple’s main goals. Federighi believed AI wasn’t a “core capability” and didn’t want to shift focus away from more traditional products.

Other senior execs shared similar views. Some felt that AI requires a big upfront investment with no guaranteed outcome, something that didn’t sit well with Apple’s usual product-first culture. Even though some insiders saw AI as “revolutionary,” their efforts to convince Federighi reportedly didn’t make much difference.

“Other leaders shared Federighi’s reservations. In the world of AI, you really don’t know what the product is until you’ve done the investment,” another longtime executive was quoted in the report. “That’s not how Apple is wired. Apple sits down to build a product knowing what the endgame is,” wrote Gurman in his report.

Meanwhile, Apple’s AI chief John Giannandrea (who joined from Google in 2018) pushed for more investment and tried to streamline the company’s AI efforts. But his plans were often met with resistance too, according to Gurman.

Missed Deadlines for Apple Intelligence

Apple introduced “Apple Intelligence” at WWDC 2023 with features like smart writing tools, improved notifications, custom emojis (Genmoji) and a revamped Siri. The concept was branded “AI for the rest of us,” referencing Apple’s classic Mac slogan.

But most features missed their original launch windows –

  • AI writing tools and summaries only arrived six weeks after the iPhone 16 launched.
  • Genmoji didn’t launch until December 2023.
  • Notification upgrades were delayed until March 2024.

The most anticipated update hasn’t materialised. According to Gurman, Federighi tested iOS 18.4 in early 2025 and found key features like asking Siri for your driver’s license number simply didn’t work. Internal demos were reportedly just pre-recorded videos. As a result, the Siri upgrade was delayed indefinitely.

Despite this, Apple continued marketing these features, which has led to class-action lawsuits accusing the company of false advertising.

Broader AI Struggles at Apple

Gurman’s report paints a bigger picture of Apple falling behind in AI. The company has fewer AI engineers than competitors and hasn’t invested in GPUs as aggressively. Even attempts to buy AI-focused companies like Mobileye Global Inc. didn’t work out. Though Apple developed the Neural Engine as part of its car project, other ideas, like autonomous driving, were ultimately scrapped.

Some insiders described Apple’s AI efforts as a “sinking ship.” Apple’s slow, polished product approach hasn’t meshed well with the fast-paced nature of AI. Longtime executive Eddy Cue reportedly warned that Apple’s dominance could fade. In a recent testimony, he said the iPhone might become irrelevant within 10 years.

Siri was introduced just before Steve Jobs passed away and was meant to be a game-changing feature. Jobs imagined it as a major part of Apple’s future interface. But after launch, Siri became more of a simple assistant, handling basic tasks while Apple shifted focus to things like Maps, Photos, and biometric tools.

Attempts to deeply integrate AI into iOS around 2014 reportedly ran into resistance from Federighi. While Apple bought a few small AI companies like Turi and Tuplejump, its overall AI spending fell short of what its rivals were doing.

Some executives now believe this slow approach reflects Apple’s careful, long development cycles just don’t match the rapid experimentation AI demands.

Gurman concludes that Apple still has the money, talent and brand power to make a comeback in AI but it needs a clearer strategy, more internal alignment and quicker execution. While a stronger AI push is expected eventually, much of Apple’s vision remains a work in progress for now.

FAQs

Q1. Will Apple announce major Siri upgrades at WWDC 2025?

Answer. No, Siri updates are unlikely to be highlighted at WWDC 2025. Apple is facing AI delays and leadership disagreements, and major upgrades are still months away.

Q2. What AI features has Apple delayed?

Answer. Apple Intelligence features like Genmoji, AI writing tools, and improved notifications missed their original launch windows, leading to class-action lawsuits over false advertising.

Q3. Why is Apple struggling with AI development?

Answer. Apple has been slow to invest in AI due to internal conflicts, cautious leadership, and a product-first strategy that doesn’t align with the fast-paced nature of AI innovation.

Even with all the buzz around GTA 6, Rockstar Games is still raking in huge numbers with GTA 5. In the latest financial report from publisher Take-Two, it was revealed that GTA 5 has sold another 5 million copies in the last quarter alone. That’s the same pace it’s been keeping all year and pretty incredible for a game that launched over a decade ago.

Take-Two confirmed that GTA 5 has now reached a total of 215 million units sold, up from 210 million in the previous quarter. This number includes some physical stock still held by retailers. Still, the demand clearly hasn’t slowed down.

It’s not just GTA 5 doing well. Red Dead Redemption 2 sold another 4 million copies in the last three months. The game is now officially the “best-selling title of the past 7 years in the US based on dollar sales,” despite Rockstar having more or less stopped updating it.

Meanwhile, GTA Online continues to get regular content and support. During an investor Q&A, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick called GTA 5 the “standard-bearer for our industry,” showing how strong the franchise still is even as players wait for what’s next.

Former Rockstar Animator Blown Away by GTA 6 Graphics

The first trailer for GTA 6 has already made waves, and it even caught the attention of Mike York, a former Rockstar animator who worked on GTA 5 and RDR2. He shared a reaction video on his YouTube channel York Street Gaming, which quickly went viral thanks to his enthusiastic breakdown of the trailer’s visuals.

Clearly impressed, York asked, “Is this game really gonna look like this?” He emphasised that what viewers saw wasn’t just cinematic footage, it was actual gameplay. “These are insane,” he said, pointing out how Rockstar seems to be pushing current-gen hardware to the limit

Check out the full reaction video –

As someone who worked directly on character animation, York highlighted the incredible detail in the trailer from realistic lighting and reflections to believable character movement. He even noted that things like shadows, trash and NPC behaviour seemed carefully crafted, suggesting that every inch of the game world is packed with intentional detail.

York was especially impressed by how background NPCs were animated showing some were fighting, others drinking or smoking and some were just existing naturally in the environment. According to him, this level of ambient animation is something Rockstar has always been known for, but GTA 6 seems to take it to another level.

Even though York no longer works at Rockstar, his reaction carries weight thanks to his hands-on experience with the company’s development process. He praised the trailer as a “testament to Rockstar’s evolution” and seemed genuinely excited about the direction the studio is taking.

FAQs

Q1. How many copies has GTA 5 sold so far?

Answer. Take-Two confirmed that GTA 5 has reached a total of 215 million units sold, with an additional 5 million copies sold in the last quarter.

Q2. How did former Rockstar animator Mike York react to the GTA 6 trailer?

Answer. York praised the trailer’s graphics, highlighting realistic lighting, NPC behaviour, and next-gen animations, calling it a “testament to Rockstar’s evolution.”

Q3. Is Rockstar still supporting GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2?

Answer. Yes! GTA Online continues to receive regular updates, and despite fewer updates for Red Dead Redemption 2, it remains the best-selling US title of the past 7 years.

Second, you’ll be able to pin up to three favourite games or apps to the home screen. These pinned items will stick near the top of the recently played list, even as you open other apps, so your go-to games are always easy to find.

“You can now pin up to three of your recently played games or apps directly to the recently played games and apps list. These pins will stay near the front of the list as you launch other things, giving you quick access to your go-to titles,” the company website adds.

Reduce Tile Count (Coming Soon!)

The third feature is coming soon and provides the option to reduce the number of visible tiles in the recently played games and apps list. This will let you show off more of your background and give your dashboard a cleaner, simpler look.

Xbox says, “Prefer a more minimal look? This setting allows you to reduce the number of visible tiles in the recently played games and apps list, helping you streamline your Home and surface only the essentials. We’re still refining this setting, and it will be coming soon.”

According to the post, the iPhone 17 Air will be just 5.5mm thick, a spec that lines up with earlier reports from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. On top of that, the new leak reveals the phone will weigh around 145 grams. That makes it as light as the iPhone SE 2 (148g) or iPhone 13 mini (141g) but stretched out over a much larger 6.6-inch display. So you’re getting the feel of a mini iPhone, but in a full-sized body. That alone could justify the “Air” branding.

While the weight is impressive, the second part of the leak doesn’t sound too pleasing.

It appears we are getting battery capacity of just 2800mAh, which might rightly be a concern. Internal testing by Apple reportedly shows that only 60–70% of users will get a full day of use, compared to the usual 80–90% on typical iPhones.

To put that into context, the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, both released in 2020, had nearly the same battery capacity (2815mAh) and were not exactly known for long-lasting battery life either. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 features a 3561mAh battery, and the iPhone 16 Plus has a massive 4674mAh cell. So compared to those, the iPhone 17 Air sees about a 20% drop from standard models and up to 40% less compared to a similarly sized Plus variant.

There’s a possibility Apple might include a high-density battery using the same 2800mAh cell size, which could boost the actual capacity by 15–20%. If that happens, battery life might not be as bad as it sounds.

To add on, iOS 19 is expected to bring an AI-based battery optimisation feature, which should help squeeze out more life from the smaller battery.
