At WWDC 2026 Apple unveiled Siri AI, a Gemini-powered conversational assistant available as a standalone Siri app that can reference on-screen content. Apple said Siri AI replaces Siri Classic, supports multi-turn conversations, offers improved dictation and customizable voices, and will enter a public beta later in 2026. Apple tied advanced capabilities to iCloud+, imposed daily limits on some features, and announced the assistant will not be available in the European Union. The move shifts Siri into an LLM-driven assistant integrated across iPhone workflows, changing how users search and dictate while raising new privacy and regional policy considerations.
