WWDC 2025 Interview: Federighi and Joswiak on Siri Delay, Apple Intelligence, and iPadOS 26 [Video]

Apple's Craig Federighi and Greg "Joz" Joswiak recently sat down for an in-depth interview with Mark from Tom's Guide and Lance from Tech Radar, providing a candid look at the company's latest software announcements from WWDC 2025. The discussion offered new details on the delay of advanced Siri features, the philosophy behind Apple Intelligence, and the major overhaul of iPadOS.One of the most significant topics was the delay of advanced Siri features that leverage on-device personal context, which were initially expected this year. Federighi provided a detailed explanation of the development process, revealing that Apple was essentially working on two different versions of the underlying technology. "We had... really two phases to... two versions of the ultimate architecture that we were going to create," he said. The first version, which he called the "V1 architecture," was the one Apple initially planned to ship. "We had at the time high confidence that we could deliver it. We thought by December and if not, we figured by spring," Federighi admitted.However, as development continued, the team realized the V1 approach had significant limitations. "We found that the limitations of the V1 architecture weren't getting us to the quality level that we knew our customers needed and expected," he stated. This led to a crucial decision. "It wouldn't meet our customer expectations or Apple's standards. And that we had to move to the V2 architecture." This shift required more time, prompting the public delay. When asked about a 2026 timeline, he confirmed it was accurate, though he noted they "don't want to pre-communicate a date" until it's ready. He clarified that V2 was not a complete start-over: "The V1 architecture was sort of half of the V2 architecture and now we extended it across... to make it a pure end-to-end architecture."Continue ReadingShare Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, EmailFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube
