Apple announced Siri AI at WWDC 2026, revealing a "deep collaboration with Google" that leverages Gemini models for its next-generation Apple Intelligence features. The new Siri includes personal context understanding, app actions, on-screen awareness, and conversational capabilities previously absent from the original Siri.

Apple unveiled Siri AI at WWDC 2026, a rebuilt version of its assistant powered by Apple Intelligence and enhanced with Google Gemini. The company confirmed daily usage limits for features like image generation, with increased access requiring iCloud+ subscriptions. Siri AI won't launch in China and faces EU restrictions.

Apple announced a suite of Apple Intelligence updates across iOS apps, including cross-app context awareness that surfaces email details during phone calls, one-tap AI-powered password updates, and natural language Shortcuts creation. Safari gains AI-generated extensions, while Photos gets spatial reframing and improved object removal.

Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian confirmed during the Cloud Next '26 keynote that Google is building Apple Foundation Models based on Gemini technology to power the next generation of Siri. Apple is expected to unveil the first features at WWDC 2026 on June 8, with release planned for iOS 27 in September 2026.
