Apple Tests Redesigned Siri AI Ahead of iPhone 18 Launch
Report says Apple has begun rolling out a trial version of an overhauled Siri, with some users required to join a waitlist, days before the iPhone 18 reaches stores.
Apple has begun releasing a test version of a redesigned Siri artificial intelligence assistant, according to a report from CNBC. The move comes in the days following Apple's iPhone launch event last week and just ahead of the iPhone 18's arrival in stores this week.
According to CNBC, the updated Siri is being distributed as part of the company's software rollout, though the report noted that some users may need to sign up for a waitlist to access the new version.
The report did not provide further detail on the specific features of the redesigned assistant or a timeline for when it will be made broadly available to all users. CNBC's report ties the Siri update to the broader iOS 27 software release cycle, though additional specifics from Apple were not included in the report.
Apple has not issued a separate public statement beyond what was cited in the report. The rollout comes as the company works to expand its AI offerings across its device lineup, following its iPhone 18 unveiling last week.
