Google Promises Siri Powered by Gemini Is Coming Later This Year
Google said the upgraded assistant will use Gemini-based Apple Foundation Models and could reach developers and beta testers in June before a fall release.
- On Wednesday, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian confirmed at the Google Cloud Next 2026 conference in Las Vegas that Gemini will power a more personalized version of Siri arriving later in 2026.
- Earlier this year, Google and Apple announced a partnership to develop "Apple Foundation Models based on Gemini technology," with Google Cloud serving as Apple's "preferred cloud provider" for the collaboration.
- Per Bloomberg, Siri 2.0 should offer a more "chatbot-like experience" as an on-device agentic AI, though Apple has publicly struggled to release this update since it was first promised in 2024.
- Apple plans to introduce iOS 27 at the Worldwide Developers Conference beginning June 8, 2026, where the company will showcase Gemini-powered Apple Intelligence and the revamped Siri integration.
- Developers and public beta testers should access the new features this summer, as Apple has until December 31, 2026, to complete the Siri update for a full release later this year.
