Apple has filed a motion to dismiss a U.S. class action lawsuit alleging false advertising over delayed Siri features, arguing that the delay of two features does not constitute a breach and that many other features were already delivered, with the lawsuit claiming consumers would have paid less for the iPhone 16 had they known about the delays.
Apple plans to launch its delayed personalized Siri features in spring 2026 after addressing quality issues and upgrading its architecture, with potential previews during the iPhone 17 launch in fall 2025. The features, initially expected in iOS 18.4, include personal context and deeper app integration, but have faced criticism due to delays.
Apple has confirmed that Siri's delayed AI upgrades will not be released until 2026, with no earlier timeline, likely arriving around spring 2026 rather than in the fall of 2025.
Apple has officially announced the delay of two promised features in iOS 17, namely AirPlay in hotels and Apple Music collaborative playlists, to 2024. The collaborative playlists feature was initially included in iOS 17.2 betas but was removed due to concerns about spam and abuse. The AirPlay in hotel rooms feature, which allows guests to connect their iPhone or iPad to an in-room TV via a QR code, was also delayed, missing the initial deadline of the end of this year. Apple may add support for these features in the upcoming iOS 17.3 beta.
