Apple is working on its new Siri Voice Control feature, which will give you the ability to operate the iPhone with just your voice. Know what will be special in it and why Apple has postponed it for now.
Siri Voice Control
Apple’s next big bet could be the new Siri Voice Control feature, which if works properly, can completely change the way you use the iPhone. However, the company has delayed its launch and the story behind it is quite interesting.
Reason behind the delay
The new Siri Voice Control update that was to come by the end of this year has been put on hold for now. The reason? Apple company is still working on this type making it accurate enough. First of all, the company wanted Siri to help by extracting information from the user’s personal data such as messages, emails and photos but this feature has been postponed for now.
The real game-changer
Many fans were disappointed to hear the news of the delay, but the inside story is that the real big update is the new version of App Intents. After its arrival, Siri will not only provide information, but will also be able to operate your apps as you want. For example, asking Siri to find, edit and send a photo, comment on Instagram, or add a product to a shopping app—all without touching the screen.
If Apple delivers this feature properly, it will be like fulfilling the promise of Siri Voice Control almost 15 years ago. This technology will also form the base for Apple’s upcoming smart home devices and robot projects.
Challenges and testing
Apple is currently testing it with select third-party apps like Uber, Amazon, YouTube, WhatsApp and some games. There is a plan to keep it limited or completely closed in sensitive categories like banking and health. The company’s aim is that no major mistake should be made at the time of launch, because even a small mistake here can be a big risk.
Other updates and changes
Meanwhile, Apple has also brought iOS 26 and Liquid Glass 1.0 to the final stage. They are expected to launch this features in month of September along with the iPhone 17 series. The new iOS includes smoother performance, better battery life and some visual changes, such as the option to change the direction of switching camera modes and a new low-battery alert design in Dynamic Island.
AI talent competition continues
Another concern for Apple is the departure of AI engineers to Meta. In the last few months, the company has lost five of its key AI researchers to Meta’s Superintelligence Labs, which has affected the morale of the team.

Last Thoughts
The new Siri Voice Control feature may not just be an upgrade, but the beginning of a new voice-first interface for the iPhone. However, it will prove to be a hit only if Apple is able to launch it without flaws and with great app support.
