Apple is expected to have a major Siri revamp coming early next year<\/a>, but a new report<\/a> says that some other Siri improvements are in the works for release as early as iOS 26.1. Here are the details.<\/p>\n

Siri rumored to get improved control \u2018for services apps\u2019 in forthcoming update<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, the latest Power On newsletter<\/a> from Mark Gurman contained an interesting tidbit regarding new Siri improvements in the works.<\/p>\n

In a section highlighting features coming in iOS 26.1, Gurman says we should expect some specific Siri upgrades in either iOS 26.1 or iOS 26.2. <\/p>\n

Mark Gurman writes at Bloomberg<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Over the next two iOS \u201c.x\u201d updates, the company is planning to bring formal\u00a0support for Apple Intelligence to China, as well as improved Siri control for services apps, I\u2019m told.<\/p>\n

The arrival of Apple Intelligence support in China is noteworthy, though not exactly new information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the idea of \u201cimproved Siri control\u201d coming for services apps is something we haven\u2019t heard before.<\/p>\n

Gurman\u2019s report doesn\u2019t detail exactly which services apps might benefit from the Siri upgrades. I suspect, however, that the TV app will be among them.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because of new hardware rumored to be coming soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apple is expected to launch new Apple TV 4K hardware<\/a> in October with support for Apple Intelligence. <\/p>\n

The full AI revamp of Siri is still rumored<\/a> to be targeting an early 2026 release. And based on Apple\u2019s history, it\u2019s unlikely to offer a preview of those features in its Apple TV 4K marketing pitch.<\/p>\n

However, Apple could still tout new AI capabilities for the Apple TV with targeted Siri upgrades such as improved controls for the TV app. Music and Fitness could potentially benefit too in tvOS 26.1.<\/p>\n

By steadily releasing Siri improvements (like iOS 26\u2019s enhancements<\/a>), Apple can make the wait for bigger AI changes more tolerable.<\/p>\n
