Updated Siri with Gemini could change the iPhone – what is already known about the capabilities / Google
Apple is preparing a major update to Siri that could completely change the way you interact with your iPhone. The new system will be powered by a powerful artificial intelligence model from Google, opening up a number of new features.
Apple has officially confirmed that the new features of its Siri voice assistant will be powered by Google's Gemini models. This decision actually means a transition to a more powerful artificial intelligence architecture that should significantly expand the functionality of the iPhone. This is reported by 9to5mac .
What will Siri be like after integrating with Gemini?
The idea is to combine two approaches : Google's advanced models and Apple's private ecosystem, which processes data locally or in secure cloud environments. This way, users will get a smarter assistant that can not only answer queries, but also perform complex multi-step tasks.
What is “personal intelligence” in the new Siri?
One of the key concepts will be so -called personal intelligence . It will allow Siri to analyze data from different applications and generate more contextual responses.
For example, the assistant will be able to:
- find information in email and calendar;
- analyze photos and videos;
- use notes and documents;
- take into account the history of user actions in applications.
This means that Siri will effectively become a universal interface to everything on your smartphone. According to previous demos and leaks, the new system will gain several key features.
Will Siri be able to automate everyday tasks?
Yes, one of the main directions will be task automation . Siri will be able to perform actions in different applications at the same time. For example, the user can ask to create a shopping list in Notes and automatically transfer it to the delivery cart.
The system will also learn to take into account the context of the screen – that is, to understand what is currently open on the device.
How will working with text and voice change?
According to Moomoo , the updated Siri will receive improved voice input , which will be able to “clean” speech from unnecessary words, pauses and repetitions, turning it into structured text. This will make interaction more natural and bring voice control closer to real dialogue.
Another promising feature is the creation of dynamic interface elements. In the Google ecosystem, similar capabilities are already being tested on Android: the system can generate widgets and screen elements based on the user's context.
A similar feature could potentially appear in iOS in future versions of the system, although this has not been officially confirmed at this time.
Why is this an important step for Apple?
Integrating a third-party AI model represents a strategic shift for Apple, effectively acknowledging that external technology is needed to rapidly develop a voice assistant.
At the same time, it can give users a more powerful and flexible tool that combines the performance of large language models and the privacy protection characteristic of the Apple ecosystem.
As a result, Siri can transform from a simple voice assistant into a full-fledged personal digital life management system.
