Apple has confirmed that iPhone users in the UK will receive a significantly upgraded version of Siri later in 2026, powered by Google's Gemini artificial intelligence models, a move that is expected to make the voice assistant more conversational, accurate and capable.
The change means Siri will be able to handle more complex questions, understand context across conversations and carry out multi-step tasks more effectively. It marks a shift for Apple, which has traditionally relied on its own technology to power core features.
