Apple is preparing to unveil the first major outcome of its AI partnership with Google, with a revamped version of Siriexpected to be announced in the second half of February. According to Mark Gurman, the update will integrate Google’s Gemini models, enabling Siri to perform more complex tasks by accessing users’ personal data and on-screen context.
The February release is positioned as an initial step ahead of a larger Siri overhaul planned for Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June, where the assistant is expected to become more conversational, closer to chatbot-style interactions. The move follows Apple’s recent strategic reset in AI leadership, including the departure of former AI chief John Giannandrea, and signals a clearer direction for Apple’s generative AI ambitions.
