Apple has been trying to revolutionize smart devices for our homes for years, aware that home automation is key in the present and will be even more in the future. In this scenario, the artificial intelligence It is a key tool and Siri, as a virtual assistant, even more.
That is why Tim Cook's boys, as we have a few days ago, are working on new smart devices with screens and artificial intelligence, making control of our homes. However, these modern products will still not see the light, and everything indicates that this delay has to do directly with Siri herself.
When does the new version of Siri arrive?
Cupertino's company prepares Two products with totally different designs but with the common objective of becoming the control center of your home. The first is a screen, a kind of Homepod similar to an iPad, designed to hang on the wall and handle all homekit compatible devices. The second is an even more futuristic device, with a base and an articulated robotic arm that could move and turn to accompany the user's interaction, almost as if it had its own personality. The key names of these projects are J490 and J595, respectively, and although they are already quite advanced, they will not see the light until Siri is up to it.
The great obstacle is the expected renovation of Siri, which has been taking long in secret and has now passed to the team led by Mike Rockwell, responsible for the Apple Vision Pro. What Apple seeks is that Siri is not only able to listen, but also understands what is happening on the screen, and is capable of Interpret the context in real time. This would be something fundamental for these new devices to be really intelligent and not simple voice attendees.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is betting on a Siri that combines the power of Apple Intelligence with a most precise contextual understandingintegrating what the company calls “apps intentions.” In other words, Siri will not only know what you are saying, but also what you are doing at that time on your device, and what application you are using. This evolution will be key for smart screens to respond naturally and useful, without the need for robotic commands or constant repetitions.
The deadlines, for now, are not too optimistic. The mountable screen model could reach the end of 2025 or in the First months of 2026although it is already in the internal test phase by Apple employees. For its part, the model with a robotic arm would go to the late 2026 or even at the beginning of 2027. Of course, it is likely that when it comes to the market it does not have all the functions that are announced initially. Apple wants to get it as soon as possible after the official launch of the new Siri, and it is possible that some options arrive later through software updates.
In any case, it is possible that on June 9, in the WWDC 2025let's know more details about this new version of Siri. Apple, once again, wants to change the rules of the game. And although the future is just around the corner, the key to everything remains the same voice that we have been listening for years: Siri. The difference is that now, finally, he will think before speaking.
