Initially set to launch this year, the device designed to function as a smart home hub is now postponed to the next year. The enhancements to Siri aimed at making it more conversational and context-aware have also been deferred. Meanwhile, Apple continues to work on the smart display and gather employee feedback, aiming to refine the device before its release. ## Content # Apple Postpones Smart Display Due to Siri AI Upgrade Delays Apple has officially announced a delay in the release of its highly anticipated smart display, primarily due to setbacks in enhancing Siri's AI capabilities. Initially expected to launch this year, the smart display—designed to serve as a smart home hub and operate on tvOS—relies on the advanced, personalized features of the upgraded Siri. However, these crucial updates to Siri are now postponed, leading to the delay in the smart display's debut. The upgrade to Siri, which was originally aimed for a rollout this spring, has been pushed back to the coming year. Apple had intended to enhance Siri by making it more conversational and context-aware, thereby enabling it to function seamlessly across various apps. Among the promised features were 'Personal Context,' which would allow Siri to understand personal settings and preferences more deeply, and 'App Intents,' designed to facilitate intricate interactions across different applications. Despite Apple's push towards an improved AI assistant, the delay has exposed the company to criticism, with many observing a growing competitive gap compared to other tech giants. For example, Amazon and Google are steadily advancing their AI-integrated smart display technologies, although they remain somewhat limited at this stage. In the interim, Apple has integrated some current updates which include a partnership with OpenAI's ChatGPT and a text-based feature known as Type to Siri. On the hardware front, the smart home hub's development continues, as Apple recently initiated an internal testing program to gather employee feedback, which may help refine the device prior to its eventual release. While the postponement of Siri's upgraded capabilities and the smart display may be seen as a setback, Apple remains committed to producing a robust and user-centric product, aiming to catch up with its competitors in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#tech-news](https://daily.dev/tags/tech-news), [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#apple](https://daily.dev/tags/apple) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/apple-delays-upgraded-ai-powered-siri-until-next-year-b60lgliix) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Apple Delays Upgraded AI-Powered Siri Until Next Year","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/apple-delays-upgraded-ai-powered-siri-until-next-year-b60lgliix","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/apple-delays-upgraded-ai-powered-siri-until-next-year-b60lgliix"},"datePublished":"2025-03-08T06:31:31.474Z","dateModified":"2025-03-09T15:06:56.808Z","description":"Apple has delayed the release of its smart display due to setbacks in upgrading Siri's AI capabilities.
