We don’t know that 18.5 won’t have the content aware Siri. We just don’t know. People are jumping prematurely to extreme conclusions. Maybe they’re right, but we just don’t have any hard evidence to support such extreme interpretations, so until we do, I don’t think it’s good to run to conclusions without any facts…
@Nathan576, was something I said funny? These are facts. I’m saying people shouldn’t be close minded to one possibility or the other at this point, because we don’t have hard evidence in either direction. It’s premature to make fact claims about things that we lack evidence about…

As to the AI being delayed, we don’t know how delayed it is. It could be delayed to iOS 18.5, 18.6, 18.7, etc., or it could be delayed to iOS 19.
I don't think iOS 18.7 would count as delayed. They didn't actually say it would be in 18.4 did they?

They didn’t say it would be in 18.4 officially, but they did say that new Siri features would be included in 18.4 on their site as I recall, and people are growing anxious waiting for it. The statement everyone’s freaking out over was a casual statement in an interview that seems to just be explaining why we haven’t already seen these features, and that it will drop later than initially planned, and that they anticipate releasing the features within the next year. That could be a later version of iOS 18 or it could be iOS 19 since we’ll still be getting iOS 18 updates until late this year and iOS 19 will only drop near the end of the year.

They have literally pulled the adverts from YouTube showing the content aware Siri, it’s not coming any time soon.
 
basically all of iOS 18 is AI AI AI.

I'm not sure what I'm even expecing for iOS 18.4 and 18.5 ~
So far 18.4 has Priority Notifications, has reincorporated Notification Summaries, new Siri Shortcuts and adds a few other features as well. As to 18.5, who knows. 👍🏻
