Apple's iOS 18 betas have introduced several new features, but the highly anticipated Apple Intelligence upgrade, especially the significant Siri improvement, is still nowhere in sight. Leaks prior to WWDC already provided insight into the extensive revamp of Apple's virtual assistant, confirming during the keynote presentation. Siri will soon possess a more human-like understanding of context, able to handle complex commands. However, the awaited big Siri upgrade won't be officially launched until spring 2025, with most improvements delayed until then. Even users on the developer beta won't access the new Siri until January, indicating a prolonged wait for the new, smarter assistant. Additional features, including a new design and ChatGPT integration, are expected later this year as part of an iOS 18.4 upgrade.
