In this context, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg has published some information about the expected features for iPhone phones in the upcoming version of iOS.

Reports indicate that the new system will see a set of exciting updates aimed at improving the user experience. In the following paragraphs, we will review the most notable of these rumors.

New features
It is rumored that iOS 19 will introduce innovative new features, including improvements to the user interface and system apps, which enhances ease of use.
Enhanced security

New updates to Siri powered by the ChatGPT bot
Siri efficiency improvements
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, iOS 19 will see an updated version of Siri, the voice assistant, aimed at delivering more efficient performance. This update relies on advanced large language models, making Siri closer to OpenAI's ChatGPT bot. This upgrade will enable Siri to smoothly handle complex requests and provide more accurate responses.
When the updates will be revealed
Apple is expected to reveal the updated Siri during the WWDC 2025 conference, which will be held in June. However, Gurman indicated that Siri powered by advanced language models will not be available until early spring 2026. This update is expected to be available as part of the iOS 19.4 release, meaning users can benefit from the new features on compatible iPhone phones.
Integration with ChatGPT and Gemini
Currently, Siri integrates with ChatGPT via the iOS 18.2 update, allowing it to improve its capabilities in processing requests. Gurman also expects this to be followed by integration with Google's Gemini in later updates, further enhancing Siri's performance.
Additional improvements in iOS 18.4
With the iOS 18.4 update, Siri will gain awareness of what appears on the screen, which will enable it to control each app more deeply. In addition, some other improvements will be included, although Siri will not reach the full conversational level like ChatGPT in this update.
Other features in the iOS 19.4 update
Delay in launching the features
Mark Gurman indicated that some of the anticipated new features from Apple will be postponed until the iOS 19.4 release, which is expected to be available in spring 2026. However, Gurman did not provide any specific details about these features, leaving users in anticipation of what the company will offer.
Reasons for the delay
Gurman expects that the reason for the delay in launching the new features is the gradual rollout of Apple Intelligence features between the iOS 18.1 and iOS 18.4 updates. This indicates that some of Apple's software engineers may be busy developing and improving these features, hindering their transition to developing iOS 19.
Additional information from inside Apple
According to an unnamed source inside Apple, who spoke to the French website iPhoneSoft.fr, they confirmed that they are still working on developing iOS 18. It seems the company is focusing on improving current features before moving on to the new features in upcoming releases.
