iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 users running iOS 18.1 will find Siri’s new, more attractive appearance with edge light animation.
Even though its appearance has changed, Siri itself has not actually experienced a significant increase in intelligence or capabilities.
Apple Intelligence and Siri’s New Look
This Siri update is part of the launch of Apple Intelligence available on devices supporting the latest iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
Quoting 9to5mac, Tuesday (5/11/2024), Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.1 currently only supports English.
However, the plan is that this feature will support more English, which is scheduled to appear in iOS 18.2, and other languages in 2025.
If the Apple Intelligence feature is not activated, Siri will retain its old orb appearance. However, with Apple Intelligence, users will get a new display with glowing animations that respond to the user’s voice.
