With competitors deploying powerful AI chatbots, Apple&#8217;s once-industry-leading assistant feels dated. For Apple&#8217;s stock price to rise to expected heights, Apple needs the new Siri to take off, along with the foldable iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Erik Woodring, analyst for Morgan Stanley, said he expects lower stock price action after earnings on Thursday, but his long-term prospects are looking positive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking beyond the short-term, we continue to believe Apple will outperform in 2026 as it re-launches an upgraded Siri\/Apple Intelligence (February &#8217;26 and WWDC 2026 in June), introduces its most innovative iPhone in 10+ years (Foldable), becomes first to market with a 2nm-powered smartphone (iPhone 18 family),&#8221; Woodring wrote in a client note on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The key items are all in place, and we fully expect Apple to have a solid launch for the 2nm iPhone chips and foldable phone. But Siri remains a question mark based on the launch of Apple Intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>2026-01-29T16:22:23.658Z<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"will-apple-mention-ios-changes-2\">Will Apple mention iOS changes?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.30%;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"home screen with transparent icons in iOS 26\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UkZuS7rmHoUFpca4wzZ369-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UkZuS7rmHoUFpca4wzZ369-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UkZuS7rmHoUFpca4wzZ369-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UkZuS7rmHoUFpca4wzZ369-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UkZuS7rmHoUFpca4wzZ369-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UkZuS7rmHoUFpca4wzZ369-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UkZuS7rmHoUFpca4wzZ369.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UkZuS7rmHoUFpca4wzZ369.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"df1f6780-fc3c-47d8-b425-b5f91372e6db\">We just recently learned about iOS 26.3 and what it brings to the table, which makes me wonder if Apple has any little tidbits to reveal about the future of its mobile operating system during the earnings call.
