According to Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter, the completely rebuilt Siri with Apple Intelligence might be released to users sooner than we initially thought. It might not be the entire experience, but we could start to see some features roll out early.

In the newsletter, Gurman provided some additional details on the release timeline for Apple Intelligence features, including one interesting new detail: some of the new Siri features might ship in iOS 18.3, rather than the previously expected iOS 18.4.

The biggest iOS 18 update after iOS 18.1 will be iOS 18.4, which will include many of the new Siri features (some are in consideration for iOS 18.3, I’m told).

This means that we could potentially start to see the revamped Siri experience as soon as January, as thats typically when iOS x.3 releases ship, compared to sometime in March.

Gurman also gave some other details regarding development timelines and release dates for other iOS 18 related releases:

• iOS 18.1 should be internally complete this week, with a release in the middle of October
• iOS 18.2 should be internally complete in early November, release in December
• iOS 18.3 should be internally complete by the end of the year, release in January
• iOS 18.4 should be internally complete in early February, release in March

As a refresher, iOS 18.1 brings us our first wave of Apple Intelligence, including a light Siri refresh (new UI, faster responses), as well as Writing Tools, Photos Clean Up, and Notification Summaries. Afterwards, iOS 18.2 is expected to bring Image Playground, Genmoji, as well as ChatGPT integration. Finally, we should be seeing the all new Siri at the start of next year.
