Apple Announces New Siri Powered by Google Gemini AI

Apple has announced a partnership with Google to power a rebuilt Siri using the Gemini AI model. The new Siri is planned to arrive with the iOS 26.4 system update.

Apple and Google officially announced this collaboration in January 2026. The new Siri can read and understand a wider range of languages and commands, offering significantly enhanced capabilities.

This partnership represents a strategic shift in how Apple approaches voice assistance technology. By leveraging Google's advanced AI technology, Apple aims to create a more intelligent and capable personal assistant.
