Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday evening SA time is suddenly shaping up to be quite underwhelming.

For weeks, the rumours swirled that an updated Siri 2.0 was ready to be released, but according to YouTuber MaxTech, the new AI assistant may be delayed. The only seemingly still guaranteed software update will be the release of iOS 27.

MaxTech told their 1.26m subscribers on YouTube that Apple may now release a beta version of Siri this week, which will have a knock-on effect for many of its new products.

Chief among those new products is the Apple TV, which has not been updated since 2022.
