Apple is reportedly getting closer to introducing its much anticipated and fully upgraded AI Siri. Soon after the company announced the partnership with Google Gemini, new leaks suggest that the voice assistant will soon become far more conversational, context-aware and task-oriented. This goes in line with the previous leaks that the Apple AI Siri will debut with iOS 26.4 early this year.
According to The Information, Apple plans to release an early version of the revamped Siri this spring. The updated assistant is expected to respond more naturally to factual and general knowledge questions, provide emotional support-style responses, tell longer narrative-style answers, and handle complex tasks such as travel booking. Siri will also be able to generate content across apps, such as structured documents like recipes, directly from the Notes app.
According to the report, Apple will announce additional Siri capabilities at WWDC in June. These include the ability to recall previous conversations and make proactive suggestions based on information gathered from apps like Calendar. These enhancements are consistent with Apple’s previously stated plans to give Siri more personal context, better on-screen awareness, and more granular control within individual apps.

Apple already showed how this personalised approach could work, using scenarios in which Siri retrieves details such as a family member’s flight information or dining plans by referencing emails and messages stored on the device.
Notably, despite Gemini playing a role under the hood, the assistant will not carry any visible Google branding. Apple is said to be fine-tuning Gemini’s models to ensure Siri’s responses align with Apple’s design philosophy and tone.
Apple first previewed the next-generation Siri at WWDC 2024. While the assistant is expected to debut as part of iOS 26.4 around March or April, the report suggests some advanced features may not arrive until iOS 27, indicating a phased rollout of Apple’s AI ambitions.
