On February 12, 2026, reports emerged revealing that Apple's initiative to enhance its intelligent voice assistant, Siri, has hit a snag due to technical hurdles. Consequently, certain features have been pushed back, with their release now anticipated at the earliest alongside iOS 26.5 or iOS 27. Simultaneously, the Apple News app is under the regulatory microscope. In the wake of these developments, Apple's stock price took a significant hit, plummeting by 5% on February 13. This decline not only wiped out all the gains accumulated over the year but also contributed to a nearly 4% drop since the commencement of 2026.
