Apple’s AI-powered evolution continues, and with the upcoming iOS 18.4 beta, Siri is about to get a major upgrade. Thanks to Apple Intelligence, the digital assistant will finally break past its long-standing limitations, offering users a smarter, more intuitive experience.
Siri’s AI-Powered Upgrade
For years, Siri has been helpful but limited. While she could retrieve basic information and perform simple tasks, users often hit frustrating roadblocks. Now, Apple Intelligence is stepping in to enhance Siri’s capabilities.
With this AI-powered boost, Siri will be able to use your personal data and preferences to provide more accurate responses and take smarter actions across your apps.
According to Apple:
“With an all-new design, richer language understanding, and the ability to type to Siri whenever it’s convenient for you, communicating with Siri is more natural than ever. Equipped with awareness of your personal content, the ability to take action in and across apps, and product knowledge about your devices’ features and settings, Siri will be able to assist you like never before.”
Will Siri Compete with AI Alexa?
While this update brings Siri closer to modern AI assistants, she won’t be a full-fledged chatbot like ChatGPT or even the newly announced AI-powered Alexa. Instead, Siri will use Apple Intelligence to enhance her existing functions without replacing them entirely.
That said, Apple’s long-term vision could see Siri phased out in favor of a more advanced AI assistant. Whether they rename her or introduce something entirely new remains to be seen.
When Will iOS 18.4 Beta Be Available?
The smarter Siri is expected to arrive with the iOS 18.4 beta within the week—possibly even by the time you read this. Stay tuned for updates as Apple Intelligence continues to reshape how we interact with our devices.
