iOS 19 major feature leaked, may bring ChatGPT-like Siri and more ...
Apple in September rolled out the iOS 18 update for iPhone, and now it has already started working on next year's iOS 19 update. The next iPhone software upgrade is slated for a major feature boost and some of the features have already started to surface online.
Upcoming Features of iOS 19
Earlier news highlighted Apple's plan to introduce Large Language Models (LLMs) for Siri. This rumor is expected to materialize with the launch of iOS 19 in June 2025. According to Mark Gurman's latest Bloomberg report, Apple is gearing up to bring a more conversational version of Siri with advanced large language models. Siri is expected to be transformed into OpenAI's ChatGPT, enabling the voice assistant to perform more complex tasks than other LLM chatbots. The revamped Siri is anticipated to be announced at WWDC 2025 in June, with the official rollout likely to occur in spring 2026.
Delayed Advanced Features
Gurman also mentioned that several other advanced features planned for iOS 19 have been delayed, with a larger number of features now scheduled for the iOS 19.4 update in spring 2026. Although the specifics of these postponed features remain undisclosed, Apple enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer to discover what Apple has in store for iOS 19 and subsequent updates.
This delay in major features is not unusual for Apple, as a similar trend was observed with the iOS 18 update. The company teased various Apple Intelligence features but reserved the major updates for later iOS 18 versions, pushing AI features to iOS 18.2 and beyond.
Future Expectations
iPhone users are eagerly awaiting the iOS 18.2 update, which is anticipated to include advanced features like ChatGPT integration, Genmoji, Image Playground, and more. The rollout of iOS 18.2 is expected in mid-December, promising more Apple Intelligence features to enhance user experience.
Stay tuned for more updates on iOS 19 and the evolution of Apple's intelligent features through various news channels and social media platforms.
