Apple to Unveil Google Gemini-Powered Siri in February

Apple is set to announce an upgraded version of its virtual assistant, Siri, in the latter half of February, showcasing integration with Google's Gemini AI technology. This development follows the company's recent partnership with Google to enhance its AI capabilities.

The enhanced Siri is expected to be included in iOS 26.4, which is slated to enter beta testing in February and become publicly available in March or early April.

Apple initially announced plans for a more personalized Siri at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2024. However, the rollout experienced delays. The forthcoming version aims to provide deeper personalization and smarter responses by analyzing on-screen content and delivering contextual information.

Following the February demonstration, Apple plans a comprehensive reveal of the new Siri at its annual developer conference in the summer. The latest Siri, along with the accompanying Gemini-powered Apple Intelligence features, is expected to arrive with iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, anticipated to be available as beta releases in the summer.
