На WWDC 2025 Apple устроила шоу с Liquid Glass и обновлениями, но ключевой игрок — Siri — остался в тени. Купертиновцы признали: обещанный ИИ-апгрейд ассистента снова откладывается! Пока Google и Amazon внедряют нейросети в голосовые помощники, Siri топчется на месте. 😤 Разработчики в ярости: без новой Siri их приложения не смогут конкурировать. Инсайдеры шепчут, что команда Apple экстренно фиксит базы кода, но прорыва ждать не раньше 2026. 💔 Уже сейчас видно: в гонке ИИ Apple рискует стать аутсайдером. #Apple #WWDC2025 #AI #SiriFail

- Although the company continuously referenced Apple Intelligence and pushed new features like live translation for Messages, FaceTime, and phone calls, Apple’s AI assistant was barely mentioned. In fact, the most attention Siri got was when Apple explained that some of its previously promised features were running behind schedule.
- To address what many saw as the elephant in the room, Apple’s keynote briefly mentioned that it had updated Siri to be “more natural and more helpful,” but that personalization features were still on the horizon. Those features were first mentioned at last year’s WWDC, with a rollout timeline
- “over the course of the next year.”
- “We’re continuing our work to deliver the features that make Siri even more personal,” Craig Federighi, Apple’s SVP of software engineering, said during Monday’s keynote. “This work needed more time to reach our high quality bar, and we look forward to sharing more about it in the coming year.”

Apple’s AI models are rarely mentioned alongside its competitors when it comes to power users exploring real-life benefits, let alone more advanced AI agent capabilities.
- The company’s relative silence on a personalized Siri this year stood out for a handful of reasons. For one, there’s Apple’s own marketing push: last year, it ran

And as part of Microsoft’s Build conference last month, Microsoft announced AI shortcuts in Windows 11’s File Explorer that let users click on a file and immediately see suggestions like blurring aspects of a photo or summarizing content.
- Meanwhile, Apple Intelligence’s stumbles have given people plenty to poke fun at in the months since their rollout. The feature’s rocky debut included notification summaries so off the mark that the company disabled them for some app categories after the

- Some had been waiting for Apple to use WWDC as an opportunity to announce it was expanding its AI options for iOS beyond ChatGPT — for instance, allowing Siri to tap into Google’s Gemini for complex user queries — but that didn’t happen this time around.
