Siri's getting a facelift this year, but the real game-changer won’t hit until 2025.
That’s when Apple plans to roll out a serious AI upgrade. The new Siri will be way more intuitive—think on-screen awareness that knows what you’re looking at, personalized responses based on your data, and precise control over apps.
