Apple’s top Siri executive, Robby Walker, has admitted that delays in key features have been “ugly and embarrassing” for the company. In an all-hands meeting with the Siri team, Walker expressed concerns about the current state of the technology, stating that the division is facing a difficult period.
Walker also emphasized the importance of promoting the technology before it was fully ready, which he deemed as a mistake. However, despite these setbacks, Walker promised that fixes are being worked on to resolve the issues and improve the overall quality of Siri.
Unfortunately, there is currently no clear timeline for when the enhancements will be launched, according to sources familiar with the matter. The comments from Walker underscore the challenges Apple faces in delivering high-quality AI-driven features on time.
