Major changes are coming to Siri in spring next year as part of Apple's AI push, and that also means a little help from Google.
The Cupertino crew looks set to launch a completely revamped version of Siri around March 2026, powered behind the scenes by a custom version of Google Gemini. So don't expect any Google features to start popping up on your interface, as this partnership is all under the hood.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is reportedly paying Google to build a Gemini-based model that runs its own Private Cloud Compute servers — helping Siri deliver smarter, faster answers while keeping everything wrapped in Apple's familiar interface.
To showcase the new Gemini-enabled Siri and its other AI features, Apple is also planning a new smart home display, available with both a speaker base and wall-mount options.
It will join refreshed version of the Apple TV and HomePod mini, which are expected to launch soon and serve as harbingers for Apple's next-gen AI tech.
Looking ahead, Apple will provide a first official look at its broader AI plans at WWDC in June 2026, when it previews iOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and more.
