The news in recent weeks indicates that Apple would be close to launching a Siri smarterexpected for spring 2026, and which will allow for more fluid conversations with users, without seeming so robotic, and answering more complex questions.
However, other companies, such as Google or OpenAI, are much more advanced on this topic, with very interesting assistants for the time. Apple knows this, and will rely on a model from its competition, to be able to launch its own Siri, which is costing them more than they thought.
Siri will be powered by a custom Google Gemini model
Apple is giving Siri a big twist. They no longer want me to be that assistant who responds with short sentences or who doesn't seem to understand you. This time, they want it to sound livelier, more natural and, above all, more useful. To achieve this, They are working with Google's artificial intelligence technologycalled Gemini. But don't worry: it doesn't mean that Siri becomes Google. Apple will use an adapted and private model, designed only to work within its own system, only it apparently needs help beforehand.
The idea is that Siri can better understand what you say, follow conversations without losing the thread, and give you answers that really make sense. For example, if you ask him for something today and come back to it tomorrow, he will know what you are talking about. All this, without leaving aside one of the most important things for Apple: the privacy. No need for your data to hang around, because everything will be processed in the company's secure cloud. That is, we will have a ChatGPT, but the company's own, despite the fact that other companies have gone ahead and work better (at least for now).
The new Siri should arrive in March 2026and promises to be one of Apple's most anticipated updates in a long time. There will not be a radical change in the voice or the design, but there will be a radical change in the way it responds to you. It will be more conversational, faster and with a more human touch. In short: less “machine” and more “companion”. Everything points to iOS 26.4, but we don't know if it would exactly arrive in that version.
In short, Apple wants to follow the path alone, as it has always done, but in this case, to achieve this, it needs to rely on companies that already have a solid foundation of what they are looking for, since they are far behind in this aspect, and the AI that they promised a year ago is not yet ready, despite the fact that everything indicates that it will not take long to see it for real.
And you, do you consider that Apple has failed in this aspect, and is not going to manage to surpass ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest of the AIs of the market? Or, on the contrary, is this help going to finally make Apple rise and position itself at the top of intelligent assistants, and will everyone use it? Leave us a comment with your opinion about it, and if you are looking forward to the new Siri arriving, once and for all.
