Apple Delays Key Siri Features for iPhone 16 and Updates Website Disclaimers

Apple confirms that new Siri capabilities, including personal context understanding and onscreen awareness, will not launch until a future software update, potentially with iOS 19.

Apple has updated its website to include disclaimers about delayed Siri features on iPhone 16 and other product pages.
The delayed features include personal context understanding, onscreen awareness, and in-app actions, which were initially showcased at WWDC 2024.
Apple confirmed the delay last week, stating that these features will roll out 'in the coming year,' but no specific timeline has been provided.
The features are expected to be part of iOS 19, though reports suggest they may not arrive until later updates, potentially between fall 2025 and spring 2026.
Apple has removed some promotional materials, including a YouTube ad, to avoid misleading customers about the availability of these features.
