Why It Matters: Last month, it was reported that CEO Tim Cook had reshuffled the company’s AI leadership, moving Mike Rockwell to oversee Siri, following dissatisfaction with the performance of AI chief John Giannandrea.
The tech giant's internal challenges have reportedly been acknowledged by senior director Robby Walker, who admitted to the frustration over delays in Siri’s AI enhancements.
Looking ahead, Apple is preparing for a significant software overhaul with iOS 19, expected to bring dramatic changes to the iPhone’s interface. This upcoming update is anticipated to align more closely with the Vision Pro’s visionOS, aiming for a cohesive user experience across Apple’s ecosystem.
Price Action: Apple shares ended Monday at $222.13, rising 1.94% during the regular session. However, in after-hours trading, they dipped 0.47%, according to Benzinga Pro data.
