Apple had plans for a new smart home hub powered by AI, which was expected to launch by now. However, industry insider Mark Gurman revealed that the project has been postponed due to issues with Siri and Apple Intelligence. This setback has also impacted the anticipated overhaul of Siri, promising users a greatly enhanced digital assistant experience. Despite trailing behind rival services in the AI sector, Apple is reassessing its approach to artificial intelligence, leading to an indefinite delay for Siri's release, with potential availability not expected until 2026.
